Wearing jewellery every day can elevate any look and make you feel put together. Our guide helps you to choose jewellery that will last a lifetime, look good and feel comfortable for everyday wear. We'll explain exactly what you need to look out for.
The number one consideration when choosing jewellery you can wear every day is making sure you pick a setting that is strong and secure.
If you're opting for a prong or claw setting, then make sure you choose a reputable jeweller like Diamond Heaven, as this setting can catch on hair and clothing, but less so with quality craftsmanship.
The most secure setting is a bezel setting, which encases the stone completely in metal, reducing the risk of snagging or losing a diamond. Channel and pavé settings can also make a good choice, as they sit lower on the finger.
18ct yellow gold is softer and more prone to scratching than platinum or 9ct gold. If you're choosing a ring, it's best to match the metal hardness to other rings you might wear, as the harder metal will erode the softer metal over time when worn together.
Platinum hardens with wear rather than degrading, which makes it a practical choice for items like rings or bracelets that see friction on a daily basis.
Choosing a diamond shape that is versatile and works with different lighting conditions is key, as it means your diamond jewellery will look good morning, noon and night. Round brilliant diamonds are the most versatile, which is why they work well in everyday jewellery worn in indoor offices, grey British skies and evening settings alike. Fancy cuts like the emerald cut show any cloudiness under flat lighting.
Spreading carat weight can be a good option to keep a low profile and distribute value across the piece. Multiple smaller stones in an eternity ring or tennis bracelet reduce the risk of damage to any one stone and are easier to maintain.
Creating your signature look couldn't be easier with Diamond Heaven. Our helpful team can advise on the most suitable pieces that can withstand daily wear and suit your lifestyle. Book an appointment at your nearest showroom.
