If we’re being honest, bigger is always better – especially when it comes to diamonds. So, if you want to make your sparkler look larger than it actually is, we’ve got the hacks to help you out.
The cut of the diamond is so important in making it look bigger than it actually is. A diamond that has been brilliantly cut will maximise the stone’s size without necessarily costing a fortune.
Getting the setting right is paramount to showing off your diamond. Ask your jeweller for slim prongs, as this will make the rock look bigger. Also, if you opt for a shiny white gold or platinum band, it will reflect the diamond, much like a mirror – meaning it will give the illusion of a larger rock.
Halo settings are a sure-fire winner when it comes to maximising the carats. Having a centre diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds will always make your sparkler look larger.
Don’t overdo do it with multiple bands (wedding bands and eternity rings) if you want your diamond to look huge. If you do have a number of rings on your wedding finger, go for skinny bands, as this will highlight the diamond’s size.
Clean your ring regularly to keep it sparkling, as the sparkle with accentuate the size of the ring. Aim to have it maintained by a professional at least three times a year.
