The term ‘loose diamonds’ can be slightly intimidating for anyone who’s never bought or had a custom designed piece of jewelry made. Most people don’t have a lot of experience with loose stones, and don’t usually understand the way that these stones can fit into a final product. The help of an experienced jeweler is absolutely imperative when trying to choose the right stone for something as important as an engagement ring. Any type of jewelry that you’re having custom designed will end up being important to you, or the person who’s receiving it. There’s something about custom jewelry that just says more about the piece itself. More thought went into it, and someone had to spend more time choosing that perfect design.

There are certain stones that just work better for specific pieces of jewelry. Looking through a selection of loose stones doesn’t exactly give you an idea of how each one of them will work with the jewelry type that you’re considering. A stone that works well for an engagement ring won’t necessarily work well for a pendant. This is, again, where the help of a knowledgeable jeweler can really help. It can be a good idea to look at other pieces designed around the type of stone that you’re considering, or to have an idea of how you’d like the finished piece to look. A good jeweler can take your ideas and suggestions and bring them to life.

Some people are also hesitant about buying diamonds or ordering custom jewelry online. With the growth of the internet, it would be unusual for a jeweler not to have a retail website. This is just a good business practice, and doesn’t mean that the quality of their stones or pieces is in any way inferior. Texas has a fantastic reputation for high-quality loose stones, and you can buy loose diamonds in Dallas that will be a perfect fit for any jewelry that you have in mind. These are some suggested diamond cuts and styles for different types of jewelry:

Rings

Traditional diamond rings are usually used as engagement rings, but diamonds can be used in a ring for any occasion. Nearly every diamond cut and shape can be incorporated into a ring. It’s really up to the buyer. A traditional round cut embodies the solitaire diamond that many people believe to be the ‘go-to’ for engagements. The emerald cut makes for a larger diamond, and adds a vintage element to the ring. For anniversary rings and other occasions, the marquise and pear cuts have been popular. Any distortion caused by these shapes can be offset with small side stones.

Pendants

A pendant is any stone that will be used as the focal point of a necklace. These stones tend to be a bit larger and are designed to reflect the light. The best stones for this purpose tend to be cut in the style of the brilliant cut. These are diamonds that receive extra attention to the number of reflective surfaces in order to become as eye catching as possible. The radiant cut is one of the more popular choices for the pendant. It appears as if the stone is literally sparkling while its wearer is standing still due to all of the tiny surfaces catching the light.

Bracelets

The brilliant cut diamonds are popular now with the traditional tennis bracelets. Tennis bracelets are adorned with stones that run the length of the entire piece. They are incredibly eye catching, and have been a popular gift option for decades. Larger round cut diamonds can be used for cuffs and other custom pieces. Discuss your options with your jeweler.
