One should always take care of his love as she is someone very special! In order to make their love glitter more, individuals across the world gift beautiful engagement rings to their sweethearts. While all sorts of engagement rings are available on the market today, it would be a wonderful choice to pick a beautiful diamond engagement ring. But, how would you choose the right diamond engagement ring?
There are four important aspects to keep in mind while buying a diamond engagement ring. They are Carat, Clarity, Colour, and Cut, which are also known as the 4Cs. Each of these aspects is important, and each affects the cost of the diamond.
Carat
The carat is the easiest aspect of a diamond to understand, even for the non-professional. Carat…show more content… In fact, it usually requires help from an expert to understand this quality of a diamond. When shopping a diamond, there are usually five grades of clarity to know:
1. Flawless (FL and IF ratings), which are the best;
2. Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2 ratings), which are next to the best;
3. Very Slightly Included (VS1 and VS2 ratings), which are the third best;
4. Slightly Included (Sl1 and Sl2 ratings), which are the fourth best;
5. And Included (l1, l2, and l3 ratings), which are the lowest grade diamonds.
Typically, engagement rings with diamonds graded VS1, VS2, Sl1, and Sl2 represent an ideal choice for most people. Engagement rings with FL and IF diamonds are very expensive, and only some can afford to buy them.
Colour
The colour of diamonds is graded by a letter system. A diamond with the grade “D” is the best, followed by “E” and “F”. Diamonds of these grades are ‘Colourless’. Diamonds with the grades “G” to “J” are ‘Near Colourless’. “K” to “M” grades diamonds are “Faint Yellow” and “N” to “R” grades diamonds are “Very Light Yellow”. Finally, “S” through “Z” grades diamonds are “Light Yellow”. Usually, high-quality engagement rings have “D”, “E”, or “F” grade diamonds. But, engagement rings with “G” to “J” grades diamonds would not make a bad choice.
