1ct Engagement Ring

This weight continues to be the most popular choice for brides to be across the globe and it is easy to see why. Romanticized throughout movies and literature, the glory of a 1-carat diamond is synonymous with beauty and status and we cannot help but be sucked in by the pull of this coveted carat weight.

How Big is a 1 Carat Diamond?

There is a popular misconception regarding carat weight and size. Carat expresses the weight of a diamond, with 1 carat weighing approximately 200 milligrams (to put it in perspective, a 1 Carat Diamond weighs roughly the same as a quarter of a raisin), however, the size is expressed in measurements on a GIA or AGS certificate.

You cannot give a standard size for a one-carat diamond, as different diamond cuts will present different shapes and therefore give a variety of measurements. The image below gives an idea of a 1-carat diamond in comparison with other carat weights.

In general, a 1-carat diamond costs between $2000 and $30,000. The price depends on factors such as the Cut quality, Clarity, Color, and Shape of the diamond. Cut quality is the aspect that most greatly impacts a 1-carat diamond’s price and its beauty.

How to choose a Ring Setting?

The size of a 1-carat diamond also depends on how the diamond is set in a ring. For instance, a one-carat diamond will look larger on a platinum band because the white color of the band will reflect the diamond, thereby enhancing its size.

Still, on the setting, always insist on the thinner bands; for they are remarkable in accentuating the size of the gem. Halo ring settings are also preferable for those looking to enhance the size of their one-carat diamonds.

However, there are numerous ways of enhancing the size of a one-carat diamond in a bezel setting. Most notably, one can choose fewer or more slender prongs to hold the stone in place to maximize the surface of the diamond that shows, thereby making it appear bigger.

A one-carat diamond is a good size for an engagement ring. It is big enough to display all the visual properties we want from a diamond (scintillation, brilliance, fire) but is also a manageable size; let’s not forget, you want to wear your diamond ring with comfort and ease, every single day!

Choosing your engagement ring or wedding band is one of the most important decisions that you will make in your life. At VENUS TEARS, we strive to meet your complete satisfaction. Our team of professional & experienced jewelry advisors will be more than happy to assist you. We look forward to being a part of your new beginning!

The Mystery of the Earth: “1 in 200,000”

Pink diamonds like any other diamond, are formed naturally using billions of years under immense heat and pressure. And among 200,000 diamonds, there is only 1 natural pink color diamond to be found. Because of its immense rarity, it is also known as “A symbol of Destiny”.

How do Pink diamonds formed?

There’s also a touch of mystery and intrigue about the rosy gemstone, because the exact reason for the pink colour is not completely known (unlike their coloured counterparts).

Pink diamonds get their hue from seismic activity that creates a shift in the crystal structure of the diamond, resulting in a beautiful shade of blush.

Research confirms that the color of 99.5% of pink diamonds comes from distortion in their crystal structure, not from trace elements, such as nitrogen, which causes yellow color in diamonds or boron, which causes blue.

Pink diamonds, which are predominantly sourced from the Argyle Diamond Mine (now closed) in Western Australia, are extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors all over the world.

However, its mined volume has been decreasing over the years, which means an increase in scarcity.

This fact only adds to the enigmatic allure of these highly coveted diamonds.

What does Pink Diamond symbolize?

While the colour pink represents femininity, romance and tenderness, pink diamonds themselves exude the qualities of love, creativity and romance.

MILK & Strawberry’s “Natural Pink Diamonds” are a representation of “Two Destined Lovers”.

Every single piece of “Natural Pink Diamond” in MILK & Strawberry has gone through a very strict selection procedure. A careful selection that only diamonds with the most outstanding Color & Brilliance may pass, despite its scarcity, so its radiance may shine forever – like your everlasting happiness.

Besides able to customise the material from platinum to K18 White Gold, Yellow Gold and Rose Gold, you can also customise the arrangement of the pink melee diamond. Of course, these customization can be done with other brands in Venus Tears too! Do head down to any of our stores to find out more!

Disney Cinderella

Cinderella is the titular protagonist of Disney’s 1950 animated feature film of the same name. After the death of her mother, her father remarried, believing that she “needed a mother’s care”. He died shortly thereafter, upon which she was forced to work as a scullery maid for her wicked stepmother, Lady Tremaine and two stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella.

Despite the cruelty of her jealous stepfamily, Cinderella remained kind, spirited, and internally beautiful. Her faith and everlasting optimism manifested itself into a Fairy Godmother, whose magic served as a catalyst for Cinderella’s ascent from servant to princess.

Pumpkin Carriage

 It is a dream-like step that leads to happiness. The diagonal lines on the surface of the wedding band create the image of a carriage’s path. When the engagement ring is stacked on top of the wedding band, a pumpkin carriage will appear running along the path.

*Melee diamonds are available in three colors: white, blue, and pink.

Lasting Magic

The beautiful magic cast by the Fairy Godmother continues to shine around Cinderella.
The gradation of colors of the diamonds and the graceful flowing form express the fantastic magic of sparkling and shimmering miracles.

*Melee diamonds are available in three colors: white, blue, and pink.

You’re My Princess

The castle and the staircase, the symbol of the dream that Cinderella believed in, are represented in each ring. The glass slipper leads them to their destiny and they are finally united.

The ‘Disney Cinderella 2022 Bridal Collection’ features the beautiful and gentle Cinderella-like gem ‘Blue Topaz’ inside the ring. The limited-edition rings will be available for sale for one year from 01.10.2022 to 30.09.2022 in a limited edition of 1159 (pairs/pieces), to mark the dreamy hour of 11:59 before the spell is broken able in three colors: white, blue, and pink.

Some of the designs will be with limited qty to be ordered, it would be better to drop by to view and try on the rings the soonest. You may want to schedule an appointment before heading down to avoid being unattended during our peak periods also.

Two Tone Rings

What’s a Two-Tone Ring?

Katamu’s Yachiyo in Pt950 and K18 Pink Gold

Before we dive right in, what is a two-tone ring? Two-tone by definition meant having to different shades or colours. For jewellery, Two-tone means having two different material —or same material— of different colour merging into one.

Two-tone Ring doesn’t just come in one form—especially in Venus Tears—we carry different variety of design to better cater to our customers. The different variety of two-tone we have: Layering, blending, divided, borders etc. But it does not affect the durability of the ring at all.

AIMOKUME’s exclusive double casting technique where 2 metals are melted together.

Does it symbolize anything?

It could, but it doesn’t have to be. All the brands in Venus Tears have their own brand stories to tell hence two-tone option could serve as an icing on the cake. Two-tone ring could use to symbolize one’s uniqueness as well since it’s not as commonly seen.

MAILE’s ‘Princess’ Series
Amour Amulet’s Attache

How does it affect the overall outlook?

Taking colours into consideration, two-tone ring could look more vintage comparing to one-tone ring due associations that modern equals to using minimal colour. However, more importantly, does it suit your taste? Colours could be used to accentuate diamond’s whiteness —or yellowness, whichever you prefer— or your skin colour.

If you like something simpler…

Two-tone detail certainly doesn’t have to take up a big part of the ring!
