Moissanite possesses an exceptional visual impact and durable nature that makes it a valuable alternative to mined and lab made diamonds. Moissanite has a unique faceted pattern that creates a rainbow effect under light. Therefore giving moissanite engagement rings and jewelry a brilliance for many to love.

A deep and soulful blue, the sapphire is most popular after the diamond. Sapphires have a royal blue hue that makes it a widely popular gemstone jewelry choice (especially for the 5th, 45th, and/or 70th wedding anniversary). Sapphires are an elegant addition to rings and necklaces. View our Sapphire guide to learn the essentials of sapphire like sourcing, pricing, and selection.

Rubies are famous for their deep, vibrant red color that highlights any piece of jewelry. Rubies famously represent the 15th, 40th, and/or 80th wedding anniversary and are an ultimate symbol of love and long term commitment. Ruby color is like none other. Full of passion, this fiery red gemstone captures the essence of life and love.

8 STEPS TO SELECT A GEMSTONE RING

STEP NO. 1

Set a budget

When it comes to this topic, the advice is subjective. There is this rather antiquated piece-of-advice to save 2 to 3 months' salary. However, spend what is comfortable for you, and your partner. There are various ways to maximize any budget when purchasing with the right jeweler. For non-diamond gemstone rings, most of the budget will go towards the type of gemstone, the carat weight, and then the ring style/look. With Clarity gemstone rings start at $350 and can range upwards to $3,600.

STEP NO. 2

Pick a gemstone

The center stone is what eyes draw to first, and is the one of the main reasons for its price tag. We offer Diamonds, White Moissanite, Blue Sapphire, Ruby, London Blue Topaz, Peridot, Aquamarine, Amethyst, and Black Diamond. Don't know where to start? We recommend learning about their meanings or going based on our Birth Gemstone Chart.

STEP NO. 4

Shop with your eyes

Choose from our distinct five ring style collections: Classic, Contemporary, Halo, Solitaire, and Three Stone. Work to find the best style that corresponds with your partner and current jewelry preferences.

STEP NO. 5

CHOOSE A METAL

What feeling do you want the ring to invoke? Many people enjoy the versatility of white gold, while others enjoy the vintage/traditional look of yellow gold, and the romantic feel of rose gold. Those who enjoy platinum metals select it because they want their colorless stone to appear to hold no yellow tinge, they want a more durable choice than yellow gold, and it has hypoallergenic properties.

STEP NO. 6

Carat

When it comes to gemstone rings, the carat weight has the largest impact on the look of the ring. However, when it comes to the price tag, the carat weight for loose gemstones (other than diamonds), does not increase highly as you go up in carat weight. At With Clarity, we can set center stones as small as 0.5 carat.

STEP NO. 7

FIND THE IDEAL TIMING

Now that you have an idea of your ideal ring, set the proposal date ahead of time. This way you can give yourself enough time to plan and research the ring. As well as, have enough time for the ring to be picked up or shipped to you. We recommend giving yourself at least three months to sort all the details.

STEP NO. 8

Order the ring

Before you purchase, we urge you to ask all the right questions to your jeweler. This way you can get the best value for your jewelry purchase, and have some peace-of-mind. Some key things to ask your jeweler about are gemstone certification(s) from a reputable place (like GIA or IGI), if they use pure precious metals, if they have appraisals, and the return and warranty policy.
