Since this is a safe space when it comes to all things bridal, it's totally OK to admit that sometimes, size does matter (even if just for one random day, when you let yourself daydream what it would feel like to wear Kim Kardashian's crazy-huge rock). When you start to think about what sort of wedding band you want to wear alongside your engagement ring, it quickly becomes apparent that there are a ton of options. Still, not everything is going to actually make your engagement diamond appear larger.
To help, we broke down what factors will make bands extra-flattering to your engagement diamond. Consider colored stones. Classic diamonds are the most popular choice for wedding rings, but colored stones are gaining in popularity. They'll definitely make a diamond pop, which can add to the overall look and help trick the eye into thinking the center stone appears bigger.. If you don't want to break with tradition too dramatically, look for pale colors like light pinks, blues, and greens. They'll add something different without being too shocking. Consider multiple bands. If you have a smaller diamond in your engagement ring, multiple bands are a fun way to add style and uniqueness to your ring. You can also consider wearing your engagement ring on your right hand post-wedding, keeping only your new band on the left, is another surefire way to make sure it's not overpowered by the new bling. Look for a matched set. Specially crafted bridal sets have fallen out of style a bit, but they're actually designed to show off your engagement ring, making them a wise choice. "Curved wedding bands designed to sit with a specific engagement ring will highlight the ring very nicely. They're typically made to sit right under the setting of your engagement ring, so it won't take away from the center stone." Clean it. Regular cleanings will help keep diamonds sparkling, making it pop more. The more sparkly and white it is, the more it'll stick out on your hand, helping to make it appear bigger. Aim for having your pieces professionally cleaned a few times a year, though intricate settings can collect dirt easier, requiring more frequent sudsing. Industry experts point to Meghan Markle’s, the new Duchess of Sussex, preference for yellow gold and the public’s fascination with her and all things related to the royal wedding as the reason behind the increase in sales during the first part of 2018. During an interview with the BBC last November, Meghan’s declared that yellow gold is her favorite metal and that her new engagement ring is set in yellow gold.
According to the World Gold Council, “the first three months of the year were the strongest first quarter for yellow gold jewelry demand in the United States since 2009.” Sales for yellow gold started to heat up around the time Meghan and Prince Harry became engaged last fall and have steadily increased since then. White gold, platinum and silver have been the metals of choice in fine jewelry as well as in engagement and wedding rings for the past 15 years. Rose gold sales had been more popular than those for yellow gold, which was considered “outdated.” Now statistics show yellow gold jewelry sales are up approximately 30 percent already this year and are expected to go even higher through the rest of the year. Alistair Hewitt, the World Gold Council’s Director of Market Intelligence explains that celebrity jewelry purchases influence the general public’s choices. Research from the Council done in 2016 discovered that “22 percent of U.S. women buying jewelry or luxury fashion were inspired by magazines and newspapers, with another 11 percent citing influence from celebrities.” Padis Jewelry has also experienced an increase in yellow gold jewelry purchases. Within our large inventory, we have an excellent selection of engagement rings and other fine jewelry set in 14K and 18K yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and other precious metals.

During our many years in the jewelry industry, we have help thousands of customers navigate the process of buying the perfect engagement ring. Our jewelry consultants understand the purchase of an engagement ring signifies one of the most important events in your life and that it can be overwhelming. Also for many customers, it may be your first major jewelry purchase along with one that you really want to get right. It is a good idea to browse engagement rings on the web before you even set foot in a jewelry store. Padis has an excellent website with a large collection of engagement rings from some of the industry’s most sought-after jewelry brands. It is also recommended that you set a budget and let your jeweler know what it is as it will help to narrow down the best rings within that range. At Padis we have many couples come in together to shop for an engagement ring as well as men who wish to surprise their girlfriend. If you are a man shopping on your own, we recommend taking time to consider her preferences and lifestyle, and if you can, find out her ring size. Questions you will need to decide include what shape of stone do you think she would like and what color of metal would she prefer? Is she a yellow gold type of girl or more into white or rose gold? Furthermore be an educated diamond buyer and read up on the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.

The Knot, one of the nation’s largest sources for wedding news and inspiration, tells shoppers to make sure they do their homework before buying a diamond to ensure it is a conflict free diamond. In order to ask the right questions, you need to know the facts. In 2002, the UN created a system to monitor the trade of rough diamonds and to eradicate conflict diamonds from the world’s diamond supply. The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme was adopted in 2003 and “outlines the regulations and requirements countries must follow to make sure a diamond is mined and shipped in a humane, legitimate way.”
Conflict free diamonds are defined as stones that do not finance illegal activities including unethical working environments or violence by rebels to undermine legitimate government. All international shipments of rough diamonds that meet the regulations are shipped in tamper resistant containers with a Kimberley Process certificate seal. When you shop for diamonds, your jeweler should be able to tell you the diamond’s source and provide the diamond's System of Warranties statement. If they are unable to do so, it is a sign that the stone may not be conflict free. Canadian diamond mines have a reputation for environmental and responsible sourcing as do diamonds from Russia, Australia and many African countries. As a family-owned business, reputation and integrity is important to us, which is why Padis Jewelry is committed to only selling conflict free diamonds. You have our guarantee that we will only deal with suppliers who adhere to strict labor and environmental standards and can demonstrate a complete chain of custody for their gemstones. Padis also offers a vast selection of loose diamonds and is San Francisco’s exclusive retailer for many luxury jewelry brands.

At Padis Jewelry, we know our customers have one thing in common – a love of gorgeous jewelry that is priced at an exceptional value. We also know tastes vary, lifestyles differ, and budgets are not equal, which is why we offer the best selection of engagement rings in the Bay Area. So whether you are looking for a solitaire, halo, or three stone engagement ring, the knowledgeable, friendly staff at Padis Jewelry will help you find the perfect ring.
Industry statistics show that sales of halo rings are just behind the most popular solitaire, which may be due to a renewed interest in vintage and antique designs. The origin of halo rings dates back to the early Georgian era (1714-1837) and consisted of round diamonds or pearls that were only slightly smaller than the center stone. The design later became popular in the 1920’s Art Deco period. Today’s halo rings typically have a center stone encircled by a collection of round pavé, or micro-pavé diamonds and may use colored gemstones. The sparkle of the small stones draws attention to the center stone helping to make it look like a bigger carat size. It also offers many unique styles and finish options. Three stone rings are another popular option for engagement rings and they too offer lots of variety and choice including vintage or modern designs. The ring can be set with a center diamond and two outer diamonds or colored gemstones and many choose the design as a way to symbolize the past, present and future. A three stone ring’s traditional graduation consists of two outer stones totaling the carat weight of the center. Another option is to have all three stones the exact same carat weight or a slight smaller graduation between the two outer stones and the center one. Both halo and three stone rings help make smaller-sized carat diamonds appear larger and provide plenty of bling. The family-owned Padis Jewelry has been trusted for over 40 years as the go-to place to buy exquisite, responsibly sourced diamonds at a great price. Our large collection of loose diamonds has been certified by the best laboratories in the country including Forevermark, GIA, EGL USA and the AGS.

A recent Glamour article says the 2018 engagement ring motto is that “anything goes.” They explain that what were once unusual stone choices for bridal jewelry, such as trillion, marquise, and pear shapes are now beginning to be trendy. Another new sophisticated look is using natural Fancy Grey diamonds, which are far rarer than yellow or brown diamonds although typically priced in that range.
Other trends include unusual cuts such as a thinly cut diamond known as a portrait-cut, or a rose-cut stone that is flat on the bottom with a dome-shaped top. Several of last year’s trends continue to be strong including geometric silhouettes and mixed-metal rings. When a couple is drawn to an unusual styled engagement ring, they may worry their taste could change down the road but jewelry consultants say there is no need to worry. If you love the ring now, get it and enjoy it. If later on, you do not feel the same about it, you can easily have the ring reset. If fact it is not uncommon for couples to re-design their engagement ring in celebration of an important anniversary or other reasons. If your original engagement ring now seems too traditional and you would like something with a more modern edge to it, or perhaps the other way around, Padis Jewelry can help you to choose a ring that more closely suits your lifestyle. With a large collection of top name designers such as Tacori, Verragio, Gabriel NY, Jeff Cooper Designs, Ritani, Forevermark, Henri Daussi, Sylvie, Simon G., and Scott Kay among others, we can help you find the perfect ring.
