Why You Should Consider Color Matching! 7ct Emerald Cut Diamond Ring

Hey there, diamond lovers! If you've been keeping up with my blogs and subscribed to my YouTube channel, you might remember that a while back I teased a seven-carat diamond project. Well, guess what? It's finally done and ready for its close-up!

Ta-da! Feast your eyes on this breathtaking, jaw-dropping seven-carat beauty. I mean, can you handle this level of sparkle?

Now, should we dive into a little story time about this magnificent creation? Welcome back to another By Bonnie blog, where we're all about the bling and nothing but the bling! Today, it's all about those REALLY big diamonds—let's get into it!

Storytime With Bonnie!

So, here's the deal—I used to be all about those chubby emerald cuts, then I got swept up by the allure of elongated emerald rings that I've crafted. But now, as I finish up this seven-carat stunner, I'm back to being head-over-heels for the chubby emerald cuts. Poor husband of mine is probably going to have to get me one of each!

Now, I have to give a special shout-out to my amazing client, Jackie. She's just the best. Jackie gives me complete creative freedom, saying, "Bonnie, you do your thing and make me something beautiful." That's when I'm at my absolute best!

Ring Inspiration

This ring, inspired by none other than Beyoncé herself, who flaunts a 20-plus carat stunner with a split shank. 

I decided to put my spin on it, opting for a large emerald cut because, let's face it, Jackie is a powerhouse who deserves something jaw-dropping. When I slipped it onto her finger and asked, "How do you feel?" She lit up with a resounding "Yes, yes, this is it!"

So, without further ado, let's dive right into the details of this spectacular piece!

7 Carat Natural Diamond Ring

Let's talk about the star of the show—the seven-carat emerald-cut diamond. Now, I'll spill a secret: this one's a K color, which I'm happy to share with you!

I know I don't always dive into all the nitty-gritty details like color and clarity in every single video. Some of you might get a bit annoyed by that, but here's the scoop: sometimes my clients prefer to keep certain aspects of their rings private, and I totally respect that. So, when I do share specifics like this, it's because I know it's all good with the client.

Now, you might wonder, why not go for a clearer color? Ah, the beauty of diamonds is that they come in all shades, and this K color brings its own unique charm to the table!

Emerald Cut Diamond Ring With Gold Setting

Alright, let me tell you why we opted for gold to set this stunning seven-carat diamond. You see, this diamond has a bit of warmth to it compared to a cooler, more colorless stone like a D or an F. By setting it in yellow gold, we create a seamless blend that enhances its unique beauty.

Now, when it comes to craftsmanship, color matching is key. Believe it or not, over 98% of jewelers out there don't bother with color matching. I've seen it firsthand during my time at other jewelry companies and high-end stores—hardly anyone pays attention to this crucial detail.

For me, achieving perfect color matching extends beyond just the center stone—it's about ensuring harmony across all the diamonds on the band. That's what truly makes the piece seamless and exquisite.

This seven-carat beauty boasts a 1.36 ratio, offering substantial width and that coveted "pow wow" factor. And let me tell you, the depth of this stone is simply striking—it's all about those pronounced, eye-catching features that make it absolutely mesmerizing!

Double Shank Setting With Hidden Halo and Double Prong

A double shank and a double prong? Why does this matter? If I had set this stunning chubby emerald-cut diamond on a tiny band, I might have hesitated. 

But with the added thickness of diamonds in the split shank, along with the hidden halo and those delightful double prongs on the sides—oh, it's a game-changer!

The double prongs are a standout feature for me because they beautifully frame this chubby emerald. They're so petite that you almost can't see them, yet they play such a crucial role in enhancing the overall look. It just melts my heart every time I gaze at it.

I find myself dreaming of even larger versions—maybe a 20-carat or even a 25-carat beauty like the one Mariah Carey famously flaunted back when she was dating her billionaire beau.

Yes, I definitely need something like that on my finger! Oh, and here's a little tip for you...

Importance of Fluorescence in Natural Diamonds

Why is fluorescence important in natural diamonds? I know many of you are curious about this, so I'll be making a full video and blog dedicated to fluorescence soon.

Here's the scoop: when you're looking at diamonds on the lower end of the color scale, like near colorless or faint, a bit of fluorescence can actually be a good thing. It helps offset the warmth and can make the diamond appear a bit wider and brighter when viewed face-up.

This is a tip I always share with my customers, especially those aiming for larger stones. While we all dream of those colorless, flawless 10 or 20-carat diamonds, we also need to balance the look with our budget.

It's important to note that fluorescence isn't common in lab-grown diamonds, as they tend to be on the higher end of the color scale. So, when you're choosing a natural diamond, keep this in mind—it's all about finding that perfect balance between look and budget!

Natural Diamonds: The Importance of Craftsmanship

Alright, let's talk about this stunning seven-carat emerald-cut diamond—it's truly a masterpiece! When you're dealing with such a large and beautiful natural diamond, craftsmanship is absolutely key. 

You want everything to be just right—perfect color matching, flawless polishing, and impeccable detailing—because once it's on your finger, you want that "hall of mirrors" effect to shine without any distractions.

This diamond is definitely going on my wish list, and I encourage you to add your own dream version to your wish list too! Who knows, maybe in 10 or 15 years, I'll be rocking a 15-carat beauty myself—cheer me on, guys!

I'd love to hear your thoughts—what kind of band do you think would complement this diamond perfectly? My client mentioned two ruby bands on either side, which sounds absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to bring that vision to life!

Until next time, sparkle on!
