Welcome to the sparkling world of diamond rings! At Springer's Jewelers, with our proud 150-year history as a family-owned gem in coastal New England, we understand the significance and the sentiment behind choosing the perfect diamond ring. Whether you're marking a special occasion, celebrating love, or simply indulging in the beauty of fine jewelry, our guide will illuminate the various factors that influence the cost of diamond rings, reflecting our unwavering commitment to quality and customer service.
Understanding Diamonds: The Essential Factors
The journey to your perfect diamond begins with understanding the 4 Cs - Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Color. Each of these characteristics not only contributes to the beauty of your diamond but also plays a crucial role in determining its value.
- Carat: This measures the weight of the diamond. Larger diamonds are rarer and, therefore, more valuable.
- Cut: A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully, enhancing its brilliance.
- Clarity: This refers to the presence of internal characteristics or 'inclusions'. The fewer the inclusions, the higher the value.
- Color: Diamonds come in a range of colors, and the most sought-after are those with little to no color.
Types of Diamond Rings
At Springer's Jewelers, we offer a wide array of diamond rings, each with its unique charm and price range.

- Wedding Bands: Celebrate your union with our collection of wedding bands, ranging from classic to contemporary designs.

Metal Choices and Their Impact on Price
The metal of your ring adds character and also affects the price. Choose from our exquisite range:
- Gold (Yellow, White, Rose)

Brand vs. Non-Brand: Does it Matter?
Springer's Jewelers takes pride in offering both branded and non-branded rings. While brand-name rings often come with a heritage of craftsmanship, non-branded rings can offer surprising value and beauty.
