A center diamond is typically what people want, but they can be expensive, so we'd like to put some more options out there that you may not of thought about.

Alternative to Diamonds

Lustour Stone: The Lustour stone is perhaps the best alternative to a diamond. No other diamond simulate can match the diamond's natural brilliance, sparkle and fire like the Lustour. In fact, it's so hard to tell the difference, it would take a microscope and a very trained eye.

They always come with a triple excellent cut, F-G color, and VS2-SI1 extremely eye clean clarity, and are available in almost any shape. The best part, it costs substantially less than a diamond of comparable size at $800 a ct. No one will know your center stone is not a diamond. It's that nice.

White Sapphire: Sapphires are actually rarer than diamonds. When cut perfectly they look amazing, and could pass for a diamond with an amazing cut. Cut is everything when choosing a white sapphire to emulate a diamond. You can go much higher in carat weight and save thousands.

Colored Gemstones: We used to sell only to jewelry stores and wholesalers, but since we started selling directly to the general public we were astonished by how many people wanted a sapphire or other colored gemstone as an alternative to a center diamond. Again, they look amazing especially with the high quality side diamonds we put in each ring. The color really pops, and it gets noticed.

Moissanite: There are many qualities of moissanite. You need to use top quality moissanite. Lower quality will look as cheap as a cubic zirconia. Top quality moissanite costs around $700 to $1000 / ct. The reflective properties are pretty close to a diamond, and they have a nice sparkle. Second only to Lustour Stone.

Cubic Zirconia: Typical cubic zirconia would have a hard time passing as a diamond, but there's such a thing called AAA Cubic Zirconia, and they look leaps and bounds better than any lower grade CZ. Typically costing around $50 to $150 for a 1 carat stone.

If the funds are little tight, don't wait to propose! There's no need to. Using one of the options above, you can literally save thousands, and your diamond engagement ring will look amazing. Especially if you go with the Lustour Stone or Moissanite. Go with what you can afford, right now at this moment, and if you decide to purchase a diamond later, after you've had time to save for the perfect one, come back and we'll help you get the best deal possible.

Call and talk to us about the options above. We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have, and if you decide a diamond alternative is for you, we'll even do the searching for you to find the best deal we can.

Product Description:

The Turning Point has a wide diamond band with a distinctive arrangement of princess-cut diamonds set on their points. Their angled placement creates a repeating diamond-shaped pattern along the shoulders, giving the ring a sense of movement as the stones lead your eye toward the center. These larger accents have room to stand out, with open spaces between them that make their individual shapes easy to appreciate.

Two sweeping rows of smaller round diamonds frame the princess diamonds on each shoulder. The contrast between the angular stones and the softer curves of those outer rows gives the design much of its character. Fine milgrain adds delicate beaded borders along the diamond-set edges, bringing a touch of vintage detail to the ring’s strong, geometric lines.

The center stone sits above the band in polished prongs, where it remains the focal point of the design. From the side, a curved bridge of round diamonds beneath the center setting adds another detail to enjoy. The open spaces around the raised head show the setting’s structure and give this substantial engagement ring an airy profile.

With 1.80 CTW of princess-cut and round accent diamonds, there is plenty to appreciate beyond the center stone. This is a ring for someone who likes a wide band, noticeable diamond coverage and a design with detail visible from more than one angle. Its appeal comes from the way those different elements work together: the angled princess diamonds, flowing round-diamond borders and open setting above them.

The Turning Point can be made to accommodate center stones in most shapes, in sizes of 1 carat and up. You can choose a diamond or a colored gemstone, and we can discuss the setting around the stone you have in mind. The center stone is selected separately and is not included in the setting’s 1.80 CTW. Contact us to talk about your preferred stone and metal, and the options for making this ring your own.

Setting does not include a center diamond.

About the Side Diamonds in this Unique Engagement Ring:

COLOR

  

CLARITY

The side diamonds of this engagement ring are G - H in color.

What this means is...

ALL the diamonds are virtually colorless. With a G/H color you get all the bright white of the D-F colors, but without the high price tag, and you avoid all the undesirable yellow tint of colors in the "I" and less colors. All your side diamonds are guaranteed to be bright white!

Take a look below at the color scale to get a better idea.

COLOR CONCLUSION

All things being equal in two or more separate diamonds, with the naked eye, it's extremely hard to tell the difference between small D-F colored diamonds and G-H colored diamonds. In other words, by staying within the G-H color range you'll still get that same amazing white sparkle that you'd get from a D-E-F color diamond, but at a much cheaper cost.

Though most people will tell you that an I and J colored diamond falls in the colorless category, it's simply not so. There will always be a visual yellow tint in an I and J colored diamond, or below, and the difference will always be a more yellowish sparkle.

  

The Side diamonds of this engagement ring are VS2 - SI1 in clarity.

What this means is...

ALL the diamonds are absolutely eye clean. You will not see any inclusions such as black carbon spots, cracks or feathers with your naked eye. You would need a microscope to see any flaws. With a VS2/SI1 clarity you get all the visible perfection of the higher grades, without the huge price tag, and you avoid all the unsightly inclusions that you will see if you purchase a SI2 or lower clarity. Your side diamonds will be absolutely gorgeous to look at.

CUT

All the side diamonds will have a cut grade of excellent to very good.

What this means is...

When your diamonds have a cut grade of excellent to very good you can be sure that you will receive the most sparkle from the diamond(s). This is because every facet (the mirror like sides of any diamond) are cut in such a fashion that they will reflect all light that hits your diamond up to the top where you visually see the sparkle and glimmer. With lower cuts you will get light leakage. Meaning the light that hits your diamond will not be redirected up to the top, but most of the light will be reflected out the sides making your diamond appear dull. All of your side diamonds will be absolutely full of life and brilliance.

Adding a Center Diamond

This setting does not include a center diamond. However, we can find one for you if do not have one. Being an engagement ring designer we have access to diamonds you might not see on any other website, and we have access to prices usually much lower than those you see anywhere else (In most cases). Just give us a call and ask us.

Please be aware that if you need us to find you a great center diamond, we usually will talk to the diamond dealers themselves to avoid all the middle man costs. If we find you one, we will let you know right away. We say "Right Away" because the deals we get from other diamond distributors / dealers are "private" deals that will last for a few days at the very most. After that, if you take no action (such as purchase it), the diamond distributor will make that diamond available to the public again. This is just the way the diamond industry operates.
