Is it time to pop the most important question and propose to your loved one? A 1 carat engagement ring stands out on your finger and is a sign of the covenant you want to make together. Giving an engagement ring to the person you want to marry is an old tradition in Sweden, since the middle of the 19th century we have mostly exchanged plain rings. But now you can choose from many different styles and designs.
An engagement ring of 1 carat is usually quite visible on your finger, and it is important to agree in advance with your partner so that he really wants a more visible ring. Many factors affect how a ring feels to wear, where the design of the ring and how the diamond has been cut affect the experience.
Grinding on the ring's diamond
The cut is an important part of the diamond's beauty and appearance, where the right symmetry and proportions maximize the overall visual impression.
A well-cut diamond reflects and refracts light in a fantastically shimmering way and this means that it is important not to overlook the quality of the cut when choosing a diamond. But you as a customer don't have to worry about this, as we at Schalins are very careful about the grinding when we buy diamonds. On rings with a diamond of 1 carat, we use the Excellent to very good cut.
Also important to mention is that we have conflict-free diamonds, which means that we do not trade in diamonds whose income contributes to conflicts or other abuses.

Different materials for the ring
Among the various choices you can make for your 1 carat engagement ring is the material used for the ring itself. Here you can choose red gold, white gold or platinum.
Red gold creates a more classic style while crisp white gold is a trendy metal to wear on your 1 carat solitaire ring. Platinum is a naturally white metal that is used relatively often for engagement rings. It is a very durable material, which makes it suitable for those who need to wear the ring in tougher conditions. Platina is hypoallergenic and therefore works well for those wearers who have allergies.
Budget
When you are going to buy a 1 carat engagement ring, it is good to have a ready budget to start from. If you already know in advance how much you can spend, it is easier to narrow down the choices. Choosing a ring with a higher carat count often costs more, and if you want to add more diamonds, the cost will also be higher.
