When you want a ring that makes a statement, there’s an obvious choice – a diamond fancy ring.

However, as luxury diamond rings can be very expensive, you might consider browsing through a range of pre owned diamond rings as they can often be significantly cheaper than their new equivalents.

A fancy ring is a ring which has a shape that differs from the norm such as a D shape ring or a court shape ring. Fancy rings are available in various styles, making them extravagant and ideal for special occasions. They are perfect for making a statement. For example, you could choose a twist band or an X ring.

Why Choose Second Hand?



Fashion changes over time. People who like old-fashioned jewellery can find luxurious items in a second-hand collection of diamond jewelry.

So if you’re searching for that eye-catching piece for a special occasion, or if you want to find a beautiful gift to show that special someone how much you care – choose an item with history and style – choose pre owned diamond jewellery.

Don’t Forget About The 4 Cs



When people purchase diamonds they often talk about the 4Cs which are clarity, colour, cut, and carat. These areas of appraisal for a diamond are not limited to solitaire rings with round brilliant diamonds. They also include fancy rings, both in terms of diamond fancy rings, and rings with fancy diamonds.

So, when purchasing or browsing through items of diamond jewellery, remember to consider the 4 Cs.

  • Clarity
  • A diamond’s clarity is a measurement regarding the level of flaws that exist either inside or outside a diamond (if any). A diamond is considered flawless and receives a clarity grading of FL if the diamond has no visible inclusions or blemishes when examined at 10x magnification.
  • With regards to flaws located on or inside a diamond. An inclusion is a flaw which is located on the inside of a diamond, whereas a blemish is a flaw which is located on the outside of a diamond. The FL grading is reserved for diamonds which have no visible flaws; however a diamond with an I3 grade contains the highest level of flaws.
  • Colour
  • With regards to diamonds and their colour grading, it’s important to consider if the diamond is colourless or a fancy colour diamond. For example, colourless diamonds are graded from D to Z, with the most valuable grade being D and the least valuable grade being Z.
  • However, fancy colour diamonds are graded differently, they are graded as follows. Fancy light, fancy, fancy intense, fancy vivid. The range grades fancy colour diamonds on their strength and intensity of their colour, the rarest grade of fancy colour diamond is the fancy vivid grade.
  • Cut
  • There are numerous different diamond cuts to choose from. One such example is the brilliant style. However, with regards to fancy cut diamonds, as discussed above this refers to a diamond which is cut into a style outside the norm.
  • As such, this includes princess cut rings which provide a luxurious rectangular shape whilst still maintaining much of the fire and sparkle associated with more traditional diamond cuts such as the round cut. However, the princess cut is not the only fancy diamond cut that is available; the fancy cut also includes extravagant cuts such as marquise cut, cushion cut, and oval cut.
  • Carat
  • A metric carat is 200 milligrams. A diamond carat can be divided into 100 points, allowing for precise measurements to the hundredth decimal place when measuring the weight of a diamond. As the carat is a measurement of weight for a diamond, the higher the carat; the more valuable the diamond.
