Suggestions for Purchasing a Diamond Semi-Mounting

Getting engaged is an exciting time. Most couples choose to mark the occasion by purchasing an engagement ring. This is a thrilling part of the engagement for the women, but sometimes the men have difficult time with the purchase. Often, this difficulty is centered on the cost of the ring. This is especially true in this depressed economy. There are ways to purchase an engagement ring at a reduced cost. One of the ways to is purchase diamond semi-mountings.

Diamond semi-mountings are engagement ring bands that are prepared for a diamond to be set in it. The band is finished and the only part of a semi-mounting that needs to be added is the primary diamond. The advantage to purchasing a diamond semi-mounting ring is that you can shop around for a loose diamond to have put in the ring. Typically, you can get a better price from a loose diamond dealer than you can from a normal jeweler. Another reason people choose semi-mountings is because they have an heirloom diamond that they want to utilize in the ring. Whatever the case, if you are considering a semi-mount for an engagement ring, there are some things to keep in mind.

Semi-Mounting Suggestion #1: Think about what you want. Knowing what you want in an engagement ring will help you tremendously as you search. The best way to do this is to look at photos of rings so that you have an idea of the characteristics of a band and setting. Decide what kind of metal you want for the band. Determine whether or not you want gems on the sides of the band. If you have an heirloom diamond, make sure that the size and cut will work in the semi-mounts you are considering.

Semi-Mounting Suggestion #2: Coordinate the diamond purchase with the semi-mounting purchase. It is important to make sure that the setting you choose can adequately accommodate the diamond you are going to purchase. You do not want to purchase a diamond only to find out that you do not like or cannot afford a setting that works with the diamond. Once you have chosen a diamond, make sure you can find a semi-mount that works before you finalize the purchase of the diamond.

Semi-Mounting Suggestion #3: Consider the wedding bands. It is a good idea to make sure that there are wedding bands that will look good with the semi-mounting you choose. Discuss these options with the jeweler and ask for coordinating wedding band suggestions.

Semi-Mounting Suggestion #4: Shop around for different prices. Jewelers will negotiate, so make sure that you research different jewelers and their proposed prices for similar diamond semi-mountings.

Diamond semi-mountings are a popular way to minimize the cost of an engagement ring because you are able to find the best price on the primary diamond without having to pay a jeweler’s markup on it. Semi-mountings also provide you with the ability to create a unique ring to mark a special occasion in your lives.
