Top 3 Tips for Buying an Engagement Ring
By Jonathan Goldberg 23 Nov, 2022
So you’re ready to spend the rest of your life with one special person. Congratulations! As someone who has popped the question, I know how exciting this time is. I also know how overwhelming it can be. Planning for the future, finding that perfect ring, figuring out what you’re going to do tomorrow… it adds up. Mostly, though, it’s exciting. And there’s no reason why finding an engagement ring should be anything other than that. I have a passion for diamonds. My specialty is helping a client find the perfect diamond and a beautiful ring to match. If you’ve had the chance to visit us at Kimberfire then you know that, above all, we appreciate the importance of selecting the best and brightest diamond possible – while being mindful of your budget and priorities. No couple needs unnecessary financial stress at any time, especially as they start their lives together. With that in mind, here are our top three tips for buying an engagement ring. Know your budget and stick to it. Whether you’re a seasoned executive or just recently finished school, only you know what you can afford to spend on an engagement ring. While this is an important purchase, nothing should come in the way of your financial security. Decide what you can comfortably spend and stick with it. An expert in the field can help you get the most out of your budget without sacrificing quality. Figuring out an appropriate budget can be challenging, so do not hesitate to contact a jeweler you trust to discuss your options. Should you spend three months’ salary? Often no… but maybe. It depends. An engagement ring is a deeply personal gift representing much more than the amount paid. Stretching for a certain size or clarity may or may not be the right choice for you. However, if you or your partner have certain expectations, it may be worthwhile to consider a savings plan to get you there. We have created beautiful diamond rings for $2,000 for recent college graduates, to rings valued in the six figures for couples with years and stories behind them. I can assure you that you will be able to do well by your partner, no matter your financial ability. Important side note – after working to save for such a valuable purchase, please remember to insure the ring immediately and at its full replacement value. This is a piece of jewelry that will be worn constantly (we hope!), and you want to make sure you are fully covered for loss and theft. Maximize the visual appeal of the diamond. When advising clients, our objective is usually to maximize the size of the diamond within a set budget or to minimize the price for a specific diamond size, in each case, without going below certain quality thresholds. Accomplishing this comes down to finding a balance between the main diamond-grading criteria – commonly known as the 4 Cs: Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Colour. Carat is the weight of the diamond, which is directly related to its size. Maximizing the size of the stone is the main priority for most of our clients, but never at the expense of quality. Cut is a measure of the shape of the diamond – specifically, how it compares to ideal proportions. A better cut maximizes the diamond’s brilliance, giving it that sought-after sparkle. We recommend keeping to “very good” or “excellent” cut diamonds. The brilliance of a well-cut diamond is what makes these stones so special and, because of that, we would never suggest that you sacrifice on cut. Clarity is a measure of how clean the diamond is. Most diamonds have one or more inclusions (imperfections), some of which are visible to the naked eye. Finding a brilliant diamond with a small, non-visible inclusion is often possible. For that reason, we usually work with clients to find diamonds graded “SI” (slightly included) or “VS” (very slightly included). Generally, diamonds above this range (“VVS” – very very slightly included, and “IF” – internally flawless) are more expensive and require a sacrifice in size for a clarity difference that is not visible to the naked eye. On the other hand, a diamond graded lower than “SI” clarity will most likely have visible imperfections. Any size gained by going below this range isn’t worth it, as it rarely leads to a brilliant stone. Regardless of the clarity grade, evaluating the diamond with an expert you trust is essential. Colour is a measure of how colourless the diamond is (the highest being D, then E, and so forth). Diamonds at the highest end of the colour scale sell at a premium, meaning you will have to sacrifice significantly on size or clarity to keep to your budget. On the other hand, venturing too low on the colour scale will leave you with an off-colour stone. We recommend the “F” to “I” colour range for a good breadth of selection, and to maximize the size of your diamond, while keeping to one that is sure to face up a brilliant white. The grade is only as good as the grader. Any diamond you buy should have a certificate that, amongst other things, grades the stone on the 4 Cs. Unfortunately, while there are many different diamond certification laboratories, only a few are known to have consistent, strict, and ethical standards. Purchasing a diamond graded by even the most stringent lab doesn’t mean you should skip a diligent evaluation. However, buying a diamond graded by a lenient lab can be as risky as blindly picking one from a hat. The only two labs we trust and recommend for natural, earth-mined diamonds are the Gemological Institute of America (“GIA”), which developed the current industry standards, and the American Gem Society (“AGS”). Both of these labs are non-profits with reputations for being consistent and ethical in their evaluations. We accept International Gemological Institute (“IGI”) reports for lab-grown diamonds, as most are sent there for evaluation. Ready? Are you still excited? Good, you should be! As a final bit of advice, make sure to find a jeweler that you trust. Of course, we would love to work with you on this big purchase and help you get the next chapter of your life started right. Kimberfire is the brilliant way to buy an engagement ring and high-quality diamond jewelry . A technology-driven approach to sourcing diamonds directly from the manufacturer, custom jewelry manufacturing , and non-retail office space allows for the most competitive pricing, with the expertise, craftsmanship, and in-person experience of the highest-end jewelry brands.

How Much Does a Custom Engagement Ring Cost?
By Jonathan Goldberg 22 Nov, 2021
Are you ready to ask the love of your life for their hand in marriage? Are you holding off until you can purchase the perfect engagement ring? Are you looking to design a custom engagement ring ? When the time comes to start your search, you’ll soon realize there’s no shortage of options. And that’s especially true if you’re open to a custom ring. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how much a custom engagement ring costs. There’s no set price, and in many ways, it comes down to one detail: your budget. For example, if you’re on a tight budget, you can keep it simple with a smaller — yet stunning — centre stone and no extra diamonds. However, if you have the available budget, you can build a more extravagant engagement ring. That’s the beauty of a custom engagement ring. You’re paying a price you can afford for a ring that’s sure to knock your partner off their feet. Is it Expensive to Have an Engagement Ring Custom Made? The word “expensive” means something different to everyone, so it’s important to define your budget before shopping for an engagement ring (custom or not). Where you’re purchasing the ring has a lot to do with the cost, but in some instances, you may find that a custom ring is more affordable than one that you choose off the shelf. Imagine that! With Kimberfire, our clients get all the benefits of a one-off custom engagement ring designed just for them. Along with this, it’s our mission to provide the same quality and service as top brands in the industry, all at a fraction of the price. What Are the Benefits of a Custom Engagement Ring? The primary benefit of a custom engagement ring is obvious. You get exactly what you want in regards to design without having to make any compromises. This is in addition to other benefits, including but not limited to: Allocate budget toward what’s most important to you: Maybe you’re okay with forgoing side diamonds so you can put more budget toward a higher quality centre stone. Or perhaps you’re interested in a platinum ring, as opposed to gold. With a custom engagement ring, you can put every dollar where you want it. You don’t have to make concessions. Fun and memorable experience: Anyone can walk into a jewelry store, choose something off the shelf, and make a purchase. And it’s even easier if you buy a “stock” ring online. But with a custom engagement ring, you bring excitement to the process. Not to mention the fact that it’s an experience you’ll remember forever. The ability to match exact centre diamond measurements: You want a ring that fits your specific centre diamond measurements. “Close enough” isn’t good enough when it comes to an engagement ring. This is especially important for certain engagement ring styles, such as halo, with most people interested in a perfect fitting stone with no gaps. Let’s put it this way: If you can dream it up, you can design it. There’s no limit as to what you can do with a custom engagement ring. Final Thoughts Don’t let any myths or misconceptions hold you back from designing a custom engagement ring. Now that you better understand price and benefits, you can decide if it’s time to go down this path. And if it is, you’re in the right place. At Kimberfire, we manufacture custom engagement rings to ensure that you get what you want at a price you can afford. From the initial consultation to final delivery, we’re here to show you the way.
Natural vs. Lab-Grown Diamonds: What is the Difference?
By Jonathan Goldberg 28 Jun, 2021
Nobody has to tell you that diamonds are unique. That’s just one of the many reasons why they’re so special. While natural diamonds have long been coveted for their value and beauty, there’s a new “product” in town. Lab-grown diamonds are exactly what they sound like. Rather than being mined from the earth, they’re grown in a lab. With the global market value of lab-grown diamonds on the rise, it’s more important than ever to understand the differences, misconceptions, and options as a consumer. The Differences Between Natural and Lab-Grown Diamonds At first glance — especially if you don’t know any better — you may assume that natural and lab-grown diamonds are one and the same. However, as you learn more, you’ll come to find that there are a variety of differences. Let’s start with the main one: Natural diamonds occur in nature. They’re also very rare. You won’t find these just anywhere in the world. This is in contrast to lab-grown diamonds that are made in a factory. They’re only limited by production capacity, which has resulted in a large number of them making their way to market over a relatively short period of time. As technology improves, lab-grown diamonds become cheaper to produce. Subsequently, prices continue to drop. Add this to the fact that lab-grown diamonds are flooding the market, and it’s easy to see why consumers are taking notice. Here’s the bottom line: Even though natural and lab-grown diamonds are the same material and composition, there’s no replacement for those that are found in nature. Rarity will always win out over mass production. Lab-Grown Diamonds: Common Misconceptions There are many myths and misconceptions associated with lab-grown diamonds, especially when compared to their natural counterparts. The most common misconception is that lab-grown diamonds are identical to natural diamonds. This isn’t true no matter how you look at it. One comes from the ground, while the other is produced in a factory. There’s also the myth that lab-grown diamonds don’t have a carbon footprint. While it’s true that traditionally mined diamonds produce carbon, lab-grown diamonds don’t entirely eliminate this. There are two ways to grow a diamond, both of which produce carbon: High pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) It’s true that there’s a smaller carbon footprint for lab-grown diamonds, but it still exists. Natural Diamonds Do Good We all know that natural diamonds are unique, beautiful, rare, and so much more. But that’s just the start. There’s a not-for-profit organization — Diamonds Do Good — “whose mission is supporting programs that develop and empower people in natural diamond communities and sharing these stories of positive impact.” Consider the following: The diamond industry employs millions of people throughout the world. The diamond industry serves as a pillar to many economies. There’s even a film that details how Botswana benefits from the diamond industry. How to Tell the Difference To the naked eye, there’s no difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds. They look exactly the same. But that doesn’t mean that they are. An experienced gemologist can tell the difference between the two. They do this by searching for the presence of nitrogen, which is found in natural diamonds but not lab diamonds. Also, many lab diamonds have unique fluorescence and/or a laser inscription, which are telltale signs that they did not come from the ground. If you have questions or concerns about a diamond you own or a diamond you want to purchase, consult with a professional gemologist. It won’t take them long to examine your diamond and explain its origins. Final Verdict Despite the recent growth in lab-grown options, natural diamonds remain the king of the industry. While natural diamonds hold their value — or increase over time — lab-grown diamonds continue to experience significant price declines. For now, people are buying lab-grown diamonds for everything from fashion jewelry to engagement rings. However, as prices continue to drop, there’s a strong possibility that these diamonds will be associated primarily with lower-priced fashion jewelry and related items. Simply put, there’s no replacement for a natural diamond. And that’s why (natural) diamonds are a girl’s (or guy’s) best friend! That being said, there is nothing wrong with making an educated decision to buy a lab grown diamond, while knowing all the facts! While we recommend natural diamonds, if you still feel a lab grown diamond is right for you then we’ll be able to provide a beautiful and well priced selection – and we’ll make a stunning piece of jewelry with your chosen diamond. We’re always happy to help with your decision, and we’re here to answer any questions and support you in any way we can.
Should You Spend Three Months’ Salary on an Engagement Ring?
By Jonathan Goldberg 08 Mar, 2021
You’ve found the love of your life and you'd like to take your relationship to the next level. That means one thing: it's time to buy an engagement ring for your forever partner. At this point, there’s a lot of questions to answer, including diamond size, whether to opt for natural or lab grown diamonds , etc. These all boil down to the big question of - how much money should you spend on the ring. There is a widely cited “rule” that you should spend three months’ salary on an engagement ring. This stems from a 1930s De Beers advertising campaign that convinced men to spend roughly one month’s salary on this purchase. By the 1980s, one month’s salary was no longer the rule. It turned into two months. And today, many believe that a minimum of three months’ salary is a good starting point. But Is It True? Before we go any further, remember this: an engagement ring is all about love and commitment. While money always comes into play, it’s the thought that matters. Let’s start with a few examples based on the three months’ salary rule: Annual income: $30,000 – Cost of ring: $7,500 Annual income: $60,000 – Cost of ring: $15,000 Annual income: $120,000 – Cost of ring: $30,000 In Canada, the average cost of an engagement ring is $3,500. For most people, that’s a far cry from three months’ salary. Think about it this way: $3,500 breaks down to a monthly salary of $1,166 or an annual income of roughly $14,000. In other words, most people aren’t spending three months’ worth of salary on an engagement ring. In fact, with an average Canadian earning $54,630/year or $4,553/month, they aren’t even spending what they earn in one month. Societal Pressure Can Weigh Heavy On Your Mind Societal pressure is unrelenting. You see what your friends are paying for engagement rings. You see celebrities sporting rocks the size of a baseball. And of course, your online search turns up one “rule” after the next. Additionally, internal pressure and stress have the ability to wear you out, cloud your judgment, and lead you down a dangerous financial path. These tips can save you from caving to societal pressure: Don’t associate the cost of an engagement ring with love or affection: It’s easy to believe that spending more shows the other person how much you care. This isn’t true. It’s all about your love for each other. Don’t try to keep up with the Joneses: You don’t have to match the engagement ring that your best friend purchased for their partner. You don’t have to keep up with all those Instagram influencers who are showing off their sparkling diamonds. Do your thing and let them do theirs. Do your research: It’s a common misconception that you have to spend tens of thousands of dollars (or more) to purchase a high-quality engagement ring. Do your research to learn more about your options. For example, if you’re buying a diamond engagement ring, cut, colour, and clarity always come into play. So, What’s the Answer? Even with all this information, you may still be wondering if you should spend three months’ salary on an engagement ring. Here’s the best answer we can provide: it depends! If you’re on a tight budget and three months’ salary is out of the question, don’t push your financial limits. Conversely, if you’re comfortable spending three months’ salary or more, it’s perfectly acceptable to do so. You don’t have to adhere to any rule when buying an engagement ring. Do what’s best for you, your financial circumstances, and of course, that special someone in your life. Also, don't forget that there are other expenses that will follow a proposal, most notably your wedding bands and the cost of the big day. Whatever your budget may be, we’d love to help!

The Round Brilliant Cut Diamond
By Sara Cumming 24 Aug, 2020
The round brilliant cut diamond is by far the most popular diamond cut. It is estimated that 50-75% of all diamonds sold are cut in this way. As its name implies, it is circular and displays an even, symmetrical brilliance. It is the most brilliant of all the diamond cuts, displaying the sparkle and fire that diamonds are prized for. Origin of the Round Brilliant Cut Diamond The original round brilliant cut diamond was developed in 1919 by Marcel Tolkowsky. His thesis, Diamond Design, established the ideal proportions that a diamond should have to maximize its brilliance and dispersion of light. The modern round brilliant cut differs slightly from Tolkowsky’s in that it has a larger table, smaller culet, and longer and leaner facets overall. These changes help to reflect the light that enters the stone, back out into the eye of the beholder. The Many Facets of the Round Brilliant The round brilliant cut has 58 facets, or 57 if there is no culet. The culet is a facet on the very bottom of the diamond that removes the sharpest point. Not all round brilliant cuts have this. The top part of the diamond is called the crown. It could be described as a window and frame to the diamond. The crown consists of one table facet, eight bezel facets, eight star facets, and sixteen upper girdle facets. The bottom part of the stone is called the pavilion. Its job is to redirect the light back out of the diamond. The pavilion consists of sixteen lower girdle facets, eight pavilion facets and one culet (if it has one). The girdle is the ring that goes around the widest diameter of the stone. It separates the crown from the pavilion. Most girdles also have small facets on them, but these are not counted in the total number. The facet count on the round brilliant cut is standardized, but the actual proportions are not universally agreed upon. GIA Grading The Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) spent 15 years studying how the light behaves in a round brilliant cut diamond. Their research used advanced computer modeling to analyze over 10k+ possible proportion combinations. They validated this research with the human eye, with over 70k+ observations on actual diamonds. GIA’s research resulted in the GIA cut grading system of a diamond, a 5-point scale from excellent to poor. Only round brilliant cuts have a GIA cut grade, as it conforms to a mathematical standard. The other diamond cuts, called fancy shapes, are more subjective and don’t have a one size fits all formula. The GIA studies how the diamond looks face-up as if it were set into an engagement ring. The proportions of the diamond are key, as the crown and pavilion angles and the relative measurements of the facets contribute to the sparkle of the stone. The highest classification for cut is triple excellent, meaning that the cut, polish and symmetry are all excellent. Pricing The round brilliant cut diamond is the most expensive cut by weight, in comparison to the fancy cuts. There are two different reasons for this. One is the law of supply and demand. As mentioned, the round brilliant cut is by far the most popular, and this high demand helps drive up the price. The second reason is because of how much of the rough diamond is lost during the cutting process. The natural diamond crystal is an octahedron shape, basically looking like two pyramids attached at the base. To manufacture a round brilliant cut, between 28-38% of the rough diamond is removed and wasted, raising the costs. Despite the higher cost, the round brilliant cut remains at the height of its popularity due to its incomparable brilliance and fire. If you are in the market for a diamond and have trouble deciding which cut to get, you cannot go wrong with the round brilliant cut. It is a timeless classic that will never go out of style and is the diamond shape with the most sparkle!
How to Help Your Engagement Ring Diamond Appear Larger
By Sara Cumming 24 Sep, 2019
Buying an engagement ring is one of the most significant purchases you will ever make, which is why it is so important to get something you love. Each person brings with them a unique set of preferences that will determine their perfect ring, and for a lot of people the thing at the top of that list is a large diamond. The influence of celebrity engagement rings and the rise of ring selfies on social media has everyone thinking bigger is better. But while we may desire the celebrity engagement rings, we don’t all have a celebrity budget. It is also important to not just purchase the largest carat diamond you can afford while fully ignoring the colour, clarity and cut. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to have a larger stone with noticeable flaws and inclusions in it. Whether opting for natural or lab grown diamonds , we recommend buying a high quality diamond in a size that works within your budget, and then using these design tips to help your stone appear even larger. The beauty of custom engagement rings is that you can design yours to work perfectly with your chosen diamond and preferences. Taking a Fancy Consider a fancy cut diamond instead of a round brilliant cut. While the round brilliant is the most popular diamond shape, it is also the most expensive. To produce the round brilliant cut a large portion of the rough stone is removed which increases the manufacturing costs. The high market demand also drives the price point up. You can expect to save around 25% on a fancy cut diamond with a carat to carat comparison. Elongated diamond cuts tend to look largest on the finger so look to oval, marquise and emerald cuts to make the biggest impact. Some fancy cut shapes do appear quite a bit smaller than round diamonds, weight for weight, however. So be sure to do a direct comparison and see what makes the most sense for you. Hello Halo! The easiest way to make your diamond look bigger is to add a halo around it. A halo is when the center stone is tightly wrapped in smaller diamonds all the way around. The halo tricks the eye into thinking that it is a part of the center diamond and therefore is seen as a much bigger stone. This is one of the reasons that halo engagement rings have been so popular for many years now. You can even add a double halo which takes up even more real estate on your finger and really makes a statement. Cluster of Sparkle One trend that has finally come back into style is that of the cluster diamond ring. A cluster ring is when multiple diamonds are set closely together to form a design, like a flower or starburst, or they can be set into a modern asymmetrical design. The emphasis is on the design motif, not on one single stone. The sparkle of all the different diamonds together makes the ring look quite significant and can be a lot less expensive than one single large diamond. I’m with the Band A thin band will make your diamond appear larger than if it was on a thick band. The eye is tricked into seeing the stone as larger in comparison to the band. Adding small pavé diamonds along the band can also highlight the contrast between the very small stones and the center diamond. A tapered band, which starts thicker at the back of the ring and becomes progressively thinner towards the center stone, also helps the center diamond really pop. White and Bright Setting the diamond into a white gold or platinum ring can also help it look larger as the prongs will blend more seamlessly into the diamond. This also helps for a halo ring as there will be less contrast between the center stone and the diamonds in the halo. If you have your heart set on a rose or yellow gold ring, you could have only the diamond basket be in a white metal, and the rest of the ring in your choice of gold. The Perfect Ring In the end remember that diamond size is only one factor to consider when engagement ring shopping, and that diamond quality and ring design are just as important when it comes to creating a beautiful ring. If size is important to you, these useful tips will help your diamond appear larger without the huge price tag. No matter what size of diamond, the perfect engagement ring is the one that is perfect for you and fills you with joy every time you look at your hand.
How to Personalize an Engagement Ring
By Sara Cumming 04 May, 2019
An engagement ring is one of the most special and meaningful gifts a person will ever give or be given, so it goes without saying that it should be as personal as possible. Creating a custom engagement ring is one way to ensure the ring will be perfect for your special someone. There are so many different options to choose from when creating a custom ring, such as choice of metal, style of setting, diamonds or gemstones (or both!), how many stones and the style of the band. From these design elements come an infinite number of combinations that will result in your ideal ring. However, if you are looking to add a personal or sentimental element to the ring there are a number of ways to do that. Inscriptions Words are an easy way to add a personal touch to an engagement ring. This can be done with an engraving on the inside or outside of the ring. A romantic quote, a line from a poem or a lyric from a favourite song are all great ideas. If you are religious you can add an important verse from your faith. If your relationship is filled with jokes and laughter, you may want to engrave an inside joke that only the two of you will understand. With laser engraving you can even have your own handwriting engraved on the ring. The one thing to remember is that there is only a limited amount of space on the ring and you don’t want the writing to be so small that it is impossible to read. Keeping things short and sweet is the best way to get your message across. Numbers Incorporating significant numbers is another way many people choose to personalize their engagement ring. Having an important date engraved on the inside of the ring is one of the most popular requests. It may be the couple’s birth dates, the date they first met or the date of the proposal. Similarly people often get the date of their wedding day engraved inside their wedding bands. Location coordinates are another way to personalize with numbers, and these can be the locations of where you were both born, the place you met, or the place you now call home. The number of diamonds or gemstones used on the ring can also be personalized and meaningful. A two stone engagement ring celebrates friendship and love, while a three stone engagement ring symbolizes the past, present and future. Stones can even be used to represent the number of years you have been together, as in a five or seven stone ring, or in the number of small diamonds on the band. Colours People’s preference for certain colours is something that is totally unique to them which makes it a great choice for personalization. For jewellery, an easy way to add colour is by using coloured gemstones. The gemstone could be the main stone in a ring or used as the side stones in a three stone ring. Alternatively you could use small coloured stones to create a halo or accents along the band. If you prefer to be less conspicuous, the coloured stone can be set as a ‘surprise stone’, where it’s set underneath the main diamond and only visible when looking at the side of the ring. A very small gemstone can even be set inside the band and will not be seen at all when the ring is worn. Birthstones are a very popular option when adding a coloured stone to the design but you could also choose your partner’s favourite colour. The gem could also be chosen based on what the colour represents, such as green for nature or blue for the ocean. If you are adding a coloured gemstone it is important to ask your jeweller about the durability of the gem, as some stones are not hard enough to endure the everyday wear of an engagement ring. Symbols There are a few different ways that symbols or images can be added to an engagement ring, with one option being engraving. You could have your fingerprint engraved onto the ring to ensure that your partner will have an intimate one of a kind symbol of you. Or you can get your actual heartbeat engraved from an EKG reading, to show your partner that they will have your heart forever. If your partner is a nature lover you could have the ring decorated by a hand engraver who can carve scrolling vines and intricate leaves or flowers right on the outside of your ring. Another way to add details is with filigree, which is where very thin wires of metal are used to create decorative ornamentation. The filigree can be something abstract or used more literally to create letters, hearts, flowers, infinity symbols, love knots, Celtic crosses and the list goes on and on. There are so many different options for making an engagement ring really personal, from gemstones, symbols and designs on the outside of the band to super private engravings and hidden gemstones on the inside of the band. When you have finally found a partner who you would like to spend the rest of your life with, it’s great to be able to gift them with an engagement ring that is as meaningful and significant as your commitment to one another.
