Big, bigger, best? Are you crazy about the brilliance of diamonds and can a diamond never be big enough for you? Or are you looking for an engagement ring with the largest possible diamond (for an optimal price)? We are happy to give you tips on how to make a diamond look as big as possible.
1. Add a halo
A row of narrow diamonds set around a larger diamond is called a halo, or in Dutch also called entourage setting. With this way of setting you automatically create the illusion that the middle diamond appears larger. A halo can be set around a round diamond (brilliant), but also around other diamond shapes such as a pear diamond or an emerald diamond.
2. Sparkling centerpiece
To make your diamond look bigger, the design of the gold ring is also important. With narrower rings, the diamond looks bigger than with wider rings. A shank that tapers also ensures that all attention is drawn to the diamond.
3. Go for lab grown diamond
This is actually a no brainer , but thanks to the price advantage of lab grown diamonds compared to naturally mined diamonds, a larger diamond is suddenly a lot friendlier to the wallet. Lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds have exactly the same composition, the only difference is the source of origin. Did you know that lab grown diamonds have a price advantage of 20-60% when compared to mined diamonds? Quickly discover our complete collection of lab grown diamond jewelry.
4. Diamonds on the side
If you choose a ring with diamonds set in the shank, this will give your ring more sparkle and your center stone will also look bigger. This is especially true for rings with a narrow shank full of diamonds, such as our Mary ring .
5. Fancy diamonds
Not only do they sound fancy, but most fancy cut diamonds also have the added advantage that they look bigger than the well-known round diamond (brilliant). Round diamonds are the most well-known and therefore also the most popular worldwide. The high demand for brilliants therefore results in a higher price per carat (diamond weight). Fancy cut diamonds, the collective name for all other diamond shapes, are therefore an interesting alternative. In addition, elongated diamond shapes such as oval , emerald and marquise diamonds make the diamond look bigger. Discover more about the different diamond shapes and choose your favorite.
6. Let's polish!
If you have found the perfect diamond jewelry and want your diamonds to continue to shine, it is important to clean them regularly. The diamond itself will never lose its brilliance, but dirt can accumulate in the setting of your jewelry. This will make your diamond shine less and appear smaller. Therefore, take your jewelry to your Aurore dealer once a year for a good maintenance service. Not only can you have your jewelry cleaned, but at the same time the diamond settings checked. This ensures optimal wearing pleasure!
