Congratulations! You've reached a pivotal moment in your life - the decision to propose to the love of your life. As you embark on this exciting journey, the search for the perfect engagement ring can be both thrilling and daunting. At Avittam Diamond Jewels, we understand the significance of this momentous occasion, and we're here to guide you through the process of finding the ring that will symbolize your eternal love.
Understanding the 4Cs of Diamond Quality
When it comes to selecting the perfect diamond, the 4Cs - Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat - are the foundation of your decision-making process. Let's dive into each of these crucial factors:
Cut
The cut of a diamond is arguably the most important factor in determining its brilliance and fire. A well-cut diamond will reflect light beautifully, creating a mesmerizing sparkle that will captivate your partner's heart. At Avittam Diamond Jewels, we meticulously select diamonds with exceptional cut grades, ensuring that each stone is precisely proportioned and polished to maximize its optical performance.
Color
Diamond color is graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). The rarer the color, the more valuable the diamond. While personal preference plays a role, we generally recommend considering diamonds in the colorless to near-colorless range (D-G) for the most dazzling appearance.
Clarity
Diamonds are formed under immense pressure and heat, and as a result, they may contain small inclusions or blemishes. Clarity grades range from Flawless (FL) to Included (I3). At Avittam Diamond Jewels, we carefully select diamonds with higher clarity grades, as they are less likely to be visible to the naked eye and offer greater brilliance.
Carat
Carat refers to the weight of the diamond, and it's often the first thing people notice. While a larger carat size may be impressive, it's important to balance this with the other 3Cs to ensure you're getting the best value for your money. Our experts can help you find the perfect balance between carat weight and the other quality factors.
Choosing the Right Setting
The setting of the engagement ring is just as important as the diamond itself. At Avittam Diamond Jewels, we offer a wide range of stunning settings, from classic solitaires to intricate halo designs. Consider your partner's personal style and preferences when selecting the perfect setting.
Solitaire
A timeless and elegant choice, the solitaire setting features a single, stunning diamond that takes center stage. This classic design is a popular choice for its simplicity and timeless appeal.
Halo
The halo setting features a central diamond surrounded by a "halo" of smaller diamonds, creating the illusion of a larger center stone and adding extra sparkle to the design.
Three-Stone
The three-stone setting represents the past, present, and future of your relationship. This design features a larger center diamond flanked by two smaller stones, symbolizing the journey you've shared and the future you'll build together.

From classic yellow gold to contemporary platinum, the metal you choose for the band can greatly impact the overall look and feel of the ring. Consider your partner's personal preferences and lifestyle when selecting the perfect metal.
Engraving
Adding a personalized engraving to the inside of the band is a thoughtful way to make the ring even more meaningful. Whether it's a special message, your initials, or a meaningful date, our experts can help you create a truly unique and sentimental piece.
