What to consider when choosing the perfect engagement ring?
The search for the ideal engagement ring becomes easier when you know what you're looking for in a diamond ring. Details matter when it comes to a diamond engagement ring. Your decision should reflect both your fiancée's distinctive style and your love for one another.
While the style and setting matter, it's equally important to consider the 4Cs of the diamond: carat, cut, clarity, and colour. The system experts use to grade the quality of stones. Each has its own special grading scale defined by the GIA.
Every Charles Fish solitaire diamond is selected from the highest third of the scale, ensuring the perfect balance of sparkle, brilliance and proportion.

Carat: a weighty issue
The weight of a diamond is measured in carats, and one carat is the equivalent of 0.20 grammes. Although weight is one of the most important factors in determining the price of a diamond, bigger is not always better.
The rule of thumb is that small and sparkly is preferable to large and dull.
Learn about the 4Cs.
Colour: less is more
When it comes to the 'sparkle factor', a colourless or white diamond is best simply because it allows more light to pass through. D represents the rarest, colourless diamonds on the GIA scale, and Z is the most tinted in colour. Charles Fish diamonds are always selected to be between D and H, ensuring that they are all white in colour.
Learn about the 4Cs.
Clarity: clearly the best
Significantly few diamonds are deemed flawless - so few, in fact, that most jewellers will never see one. Most contain unique birthmarks that, in the diamond business, are referred to as inclusions. The purity of a diamond depends on the number of inclusions, size and position. The GIA scale of purity ranges from IF (Internally flawless) to I3 (Imperfect: inclusions visible to the naked eye).
For a ring with show-stopping sparkle, Charles Fish prefers to work with diamonds that rarely have inclusions visible to the naked eye - SI2 and above. In other words, dazzlingly clear.
Learn about the 4Cs.
Cut: sheer brilliance
The most important 'C', a skilful cut, is vital for luminescence. Symmetry and balance are critical in defining a diamond's beauty. Charles Fish works with the best diamond, coming out at the top of the scale: 'good' or 'very good.

Metal magic
All precious metals are alloys, blends of other metals.
The higher the precious metal content, the longer it will retain its lustre.
18-carat gold is 75% pure metal, whilst platinum is 95% pure (platinum will last a lifetime!)
Platinum and 18ct gold are Charles Fish's favourite precious metals. Although light, they are some of the most durable precious metals and the best to embrace the rough and tumble of day-to-day married life without losing their good looks. However, we would be happy to work with you to design a ring with whatever metal you like.
