Shopping for Right Hand Diamond Rings

By Sara Gilmore

Right hand diamond rings are an opportunity to pick out a piece of jewelry that is all your own. You may only own fine jewelry that has been given to you such as an engagement ring or heirloom jewelry. This is your chance to really show off your own design aesthetic and personality; you are the one who has to wear it after all.

The idea behind a right hand diamond ring is that it's a piece of jewelry that you give to yourself. This can be because of a recent promotion; birthday or you just need a pick me up. You can even buy yourself one of these pieces of jewelry if you are already married. The idea is to have a signature piece as a gift to yourself. Hopefully in times of trouble or when you are having low self confidence the jewelry will help remind you of times when you have been successful.

Take this opportunity to choose a piece that really tells people who you are. If you love the beach but can't live there, then get gold and diamond studded starfish. If you miss the country but you're trapped out in the city go with a rose design. Since the pieces are bold you want to make sure that you're making a real statement about yourself because you'll probably be the center of attention when you show off the jewelry.

Another option when choosing one of these jewelry items is to go with colored diamonds. This is generally taboo when picking out a bridal set but it's acceptable in this form. Going with several different colors like champagne and chocolate brown or even black and white will give your jewelry higher contrast and really make it pop.

Since you'll be paying for the ring yourself you also need to find a price range that you can work within. An easy way to do this is by going with a cluster ring instead of a diamond solitaire. This way your right hand diamond rings won't be mistaken for an engagement ring that you are wearing on the wrong hand. Cluster rings will give you a lot of bang for your buck but they aren't as expensive as buying higher carat weights of diamonds. Right hand diamond rings are a stylish accessory that can also have a lot of different meanings to you. If you shop around you might be able to get more than you think but make sure that you really love the piece because it will represent you. - 33380
