Women like to be surprised especially if the surprise is a
diamondengagement ring, and you can bet your last cent that she will never
forget the day. Nothing can make a girl more proud than a diamond
engagement ring, and she will be on that day the proudest girl in the
world, prancing around and showing off to friends and relatives alike.
Looking for a diamond ring that will be just right for you is not a
difficult task because there are many jewelry stores that carry the
product. The problem is that there are too many to choose from and you
are no different from a child let loose in a toy store who is
overwhelmed with the occasion and cannot make any decision. So you
would be better off to know some facts about diamond rings before
making the rounds of the jewelry stores. Lesson number one is that
there are four 'Cs' to look for in a diamond, namely color, cut,
clarity and carat.
It would do you good to be aware of some basic tips on buying diamond
jewelry before you buy one for your girlfriend. There are the
so-called 4 Cs that define a diamond, the color, its cut or shape, the
clarity of the stone and the carat. Diamonds could come in many
colors, and white is considered top quality and therefore will cost
more. Diamonds are the hardest known material, but an expert with the
proper tools can cut it into any shape and size. Shaping and cutting
will remove some flaws of the diamond and improve its shine.
In as much as possible, buy a diamond that will correspond to your
fiance's person and character. If she is dainty, buy a small elegant
one; tall and well-built? go for a large squarish rock. The sparkle of
the diamond often holds more importance than the rock's size. The
shine and luster of the diamond is attributed to its clarity that
causes passing light to disperse into a multitude of colors. Carat is
the weight or measurement of the stone and the higher the carat the
more expensive the stone will be.
Having studied the four Cs of diamonds should keep you from being
victimized into buying fake stones. An alternative to buying original
diamonds would be the synthetic ones of practically the same quality
but will cost you much less. It would be difficult for the average
person to differentiate the original from the synthetic diamond so
that speaks well for the quality of the latter even at a much lower
price. A legitimate jeweler will be able to provide you with a purity
certificate on request so don't hesitate to demand one when buying.
