DIAMONDS SIZES
Diamonds are measured in carats, which refer to the weight of the stone. One carat is approximately one-fifth of a gram or 200 milligrams. Diamond carats are typically measured in increments of 0.25. A stone could measure anywhere between a fraction of a carat to multiple carats. Unfortunately, those numbers are somewhat meaningless until you can see the stone in an engagement ring on a finger.
RING SETTINGS
A vintage solitaire engagement ring setting traditionally consists of a single stone in a simple mounting. The solitaire ring focuses all the attention entirely on the beauty of the diamond. Some prefer to adorn a single diamond with smaller stones to create a halo. Halos give an increased sense of size and brilliance when looking at the engagement ring on a finger. Diamonds can also prong-set or bezel-set. A prong set ring is held in place with small metal prongs and bezel-set rings are encased in metal. The popular, prong-set, single solitaire vintage engagement ring was first popularized by Tiffany and Co. in the 1880s. A bezel setting will run around the entire perimeter of the diamond.
