SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION
Know the four Cs Diamond shopping involves mastering the Four Cs, which refers to Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. A person should prioritize the cut above all else, and try to find a diamond in budget that has a cut that brings out the gem’ s brilliance and fire. It can be challenging to distinguish a diamond’ s color with the naked eye. Very often a nearcolorless G-J diamond can look identical to a colorless one( Grade D). Color grades increase up to Z, with the diamond being more yellow / brown as the grading goes on. Clarity refers to tiny flaws( inclusions) in the diamond. A diamond that is Very Slightly Included will have inclusions not visible without magnification, making them a safe bet for saving money over those without any inclusions at all. Carat weight refers to the diamond’ s weight and not its size. Diamonds just shy of the fullor half-carat mark tend to be less expensive but still look impressive.
Choose a reputable seller
It’ s best to choose a gem that has been graded by an independent laboratory like the Gemological Institute of America. Customers also should select a jeweler they trust, which may require some research and word-of-mouth recommendations. A knowledgeable jeweler also can make suggestions on setting and gem shape. Upon purchasing the engagement ring, one also might consider having it independently appraised for further purchase protection.
An engagement ring purchase requires careful consideration and a significant investment. But once the stress of purchase wears away, the lasting memories of the engagement and wedding to come will make everything well worth it V
