“Our 0.5-carat rings start from S$2,000 and 1-carat rings start from S$3,300. Factors like colour, clarity, and cut will also affect the price. Recently, we are also getting more requests for coloured diamonds, and this also impacts the price as coloured diamonds are more expensive. The shade and intensity of the colour also play a part in the overall price of your diamond ring,” they revealed.
Coloured gemstones have recently also become a popular pick for engagement rings. Diamonds may be classic but coloured gems can be much more visually interesting – this is why they appeal to those who want a unique ring.
“Not only are they available in a wide spectrum of colours, but also a variety of cuts and shapes. Unlike diamonds, coloured gemstones can be cut into shapes such as cushion, geometric, octagonal or step cuts. Each gem is unique, no two are identical,” said Clarence Yee, the co-founder of Gioia Fine Jewellery, which is known for its wide selection of coloured-gem jewellery.
