About Our Rings
Can you make any ring according to my Budget?
Yes! Every ring design at Forever My Gem can be custom made to a range of budgets. After choosing your ring design, our website will allow you to select your own Carat size, Clarity and Color specifications allowing you to decide what specification best suits your budget.
What is Carat Weight?
A carat is a unit of measurement used to specify the weight of a diamond. In many cases a higher Carat will indicate a larger diamond. Click Here to learn more about Carat weight Specifications.
What is Clarity?
As all diamonds are formed underground with extreme heat and pressure, it is normal that they contain some small internal marks known in the diamond industry as inclusions. While most inclusions cannot be seen by the naked eye, diamonds with the fewest and smallest inclusions are given the highest clarity grades and are considered the most expensive. Clarity grading at Forever My Gem ranges from a SI2 (Small inclusions) to FL (Flawless). To learn more about diamond clarity Click Here.
What is Color?
When it comes to diamonds, the color of a diamond is measured on a scale of D-Z. The better the Color Grade of a diamond, the whiter it is. Diamonds in the range of D-F are considered to be the whitest diamonds and therefore are more expensive. As the grading of a diamond gets lower (towards Z), it will become more yellow in color. Here at Forever My Gem we aim to provide diamonds of the best value for money, therefore all of the diamonds we sell are within the range of colorless to near colorless (Meaning D-J).

How do I choose the right Carat, Color and Clarity for me?
Balancing the Carat, Color and Clarity of your new purchase in order to fit within your budget can be overwhelming. Here at Forever My Gem, we have a dedicated Customer Service team who can guide you through this decision. Also make sure to take a look at the page on How to choose the right ring for me.
Why do you have one option for “Cut” of diamond?
The cut of a diamond is considered by gemologists, diamond experts and jewelers to be the most significant characteristic of the 4 C’s. Despite a diamond having the highest grade color and clarity, it will look dull, lifeless and lacking in shine or brilliance if the stone is poorly cut. Diamonds range from ‘Ideal’ to ‘Poor’ cuts. Here at Forever My Gem we only sell Ideal cut diamonds (which is the best there is), guaranteeing a diamond that is full of brilliance and shine.
What precious metals are available and what is the difference between them?
Here at Forever my Gem you will find a wide selection of precious metals. Both 14K and 18K options are available in white gold, rose gold and yellow gold. So what is the difference? 14K gold contains a lower percentage of pure gold and is considered to be more durable and affordable. 18K gold has a higher percentage of fine gold and tends to be softer. A platinum setting is heavier and more expensive than gold. Platinum has a natural shine and will not need to be rhodium plated , meaning that less maintenance is required over time than gold.
Will the metal purity be inscribed on the ring
Yes. We will always put the 14K, 18K, or PLAT specification on the inside of the ring.
Can I have gems instead of diamonds?
Yes. You can replace the side diamonds on your ring with blue sapphires, red rubies, or emeralds!
Can I personalize my ring with an engraving?
Yes! With every order you have an option to engrave the inside of your ring and add a special and unique element to make your order personal to you and your loved one. Once you have chosen your ring please contact our customer service team for a price quote and in order to request an engraving. Please keep in mind we are only able to engrave a maximum of 20 characters per ring.
Are your diamonds real or has their clarity been enhanced?
Here at Forever My Gem we only sell untreated diamonds. All of our diamonds are completely natural and earth mined.
Are your Diamonds Certified?
Yes! Every diamond sold by Forever My Gem has been analyzed and graded by the Universal Gemological Institute (UGI). UGI Laboratories is a highly respected diamond grading institute. Each Forever My Gem diamond is tested and graded by several highly trained gemologists who use a combination of expertise and the best gemological equipment available in the diamond industry.
Are your Diamonds Conflict free?
Yes! Conflict-free diamonds are diamonds that were not obtained due to human rights violations, child labor, violence, or environmental degradation. At Forever My Gem, we make sure that each diamond exceeds standard government requirements. Read more about our conflict-free diamonds.
