DO YOUR HOMEWORK

There’s a lot you can learn about diamonds before you even start your search for diamond engagement rings.

A great start, is to obtain knowledge on the four C’s – Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat.

• The Cut describes the art and style of how the stone is cut.
• The Color is derived from the purity of various compound elements.
• The Carat refers to the weight of the diamond.
• The Clarity of the diamond, basically describes the diamond’s overall appearance in relation to the number of both internal and external imperfections in the stone.

It is important to understand how each influences the value of the diamond and adds to the overall appearance of the stone. The reason why it is important to gain knowledge on the four C’s, is that it will allow you to decide what is most important to you and where you are willing to compromise, to make it fit your price range.

YOUR PERSONAL TASTE IN JEWELRY IS IMPORTANT

When the day arrives to choose between the different styles of diamond engagement rings or diamond jewelry, it is important to make the choice according to the style of jewelry that is already been worn by the person who is going to wear it. If you accompany your fiance when such purchase is going to be made, make sure that you know exactly what style you like.

There is such a wide variety of beautiful diamond engagement rings and diamond jewelry on the market…if you are going to allow other people to influence your choice, you may end up with something that is not really the perfect choice. The person who is going to wear the piece of diamond jewelry, should always feel proud to wear it in public.

• The diamond ring will be worn nearly every day
• The ring will have to look good with everything, from jeans to evening wear
• If there is no comfort in choosing a shape, it may be more sensible to go for the more classic choice, such as a round or square shape.

Preference in shape may be reflected in other aspects as well. If the person who will be wearing the ring, prefers clean, modern lines in furniture, for example, it’s likely she / he will react well to the same aesthetic in rectangular or square shapes. If she / he tends towards the traditional, a round shape rarely misses. If the tastes of the person are more eclectic or bohemian the preference may be more unusual shapes, like a triangular or marquise shape.

According to GIA, a diamond’s cutting style refers to its facet arrangement, rather than its shape. Round-shaped diamonds, for example, are cut in the brilliant style − an arrangement of 57 or 58 facets designed to maximize the diamond’s sparkle and minimize the appearance of inclusions. The fewer the facets, the more visible any inclusions will be, so a cutting style such as a step cut (a.k.a. emerald cut), for example, requires higher clarity in the diamond.
