How Do You Choose A Diamond Engagement Ring With High Quality?
Whether you’re shopping for an engagement ring or any other piece of diamond jewelry, it’s important to get the most value for your money. Here’s how to get a great diamond for less. Learn a lot about diamond quality, starting with the four C’s – Cut, Carat, Color and Clarity. This is a simple guide to help you determine whether a diamond is worth it or worthless. Once you begin to find diamonds you like, take notes of the ratings on the 4C’s scale and the price. Choose the best diamond. Cut is the overall shape of the diamond; round, pear-shaped, oval and square/princess are all common cuts. Round is the priciest, but make sure to get something that suits her style. Carat is the weight of the diamond. In general, when everything else (cut, color and clarity) are the same, a bigger diamond is more expensive. Beware of paying the price for a huge diamond if it seriously lacks in the other three C’s – you may be getting ripped off. Most engagement rings range from 0.5 carat to 1.0 carat.
