We’ll also teach you about the 4Cs of a diamond to ensure you choose an engagement ring that is perfect for your style preference and budget.
Diamond Cut
Diamond cut refers to how a diamond interacts with light. Professional diamond cutters spend countless hours meticulously cutting diamonds so that their facets reflect light in a specific way, creating maximum brilliance. The better the cut of a diamond, the more brilliance it will have. This also means it will be a bit more expensive, but the way the ring sparkles on your finger will definitely be worth it!
Color
The color of a diamond is measured on a scale that ranges from the absence of color in the body of the stone to noticeable color (typically yellow or brown). Colorless diamonds are the most valuable since they are rare, and produce the most sparkle, but diamonds with slight color sparkle too! Diamonds are graded on a scale from D to Z, but the differences between each grade are incredibly difficult to spot to the untrained eye. The less color in the diamond, the whiter the diamond appears. The further down the scale (from N to Z), the more yellow the diamond appears.
Diamond Clarity
Diamond clarity refers to the appearance of inclusions and blemishes within a diamond. Internal characteristic flaws are referred to as inclusions, while external flaws are called blemishes. These imperfections are completely natural. While diamond clarity affects the overall appearance of a diamond, many inclusions and blemishes don’t have a negative effect because they are unnoticeable to the naked eye.
Carat Weight
Diamonds are measured in carat weight. Visually, there may be very little difference between a 0.95 carat diamond and a diamond that weighs a full carat, but the price difference between the two can be significant!
