The ring marks the transition woman receives the status of wife, but has a figurative mark, because the ring is a symbol of eternal love. The act of giving and, respectively, of accepting the engagement ring, is a crucial point of being a couple, or rather the existence of a family (for the giving and accepting this ring shall be rendered virtually “birth” of a new family )

But if you choose to buy a diamond ring, then there are issues which are not the taste that you really need to know. These issues relate to the four aspects that give valuable diamonds, which are also called “the 4 C’s”:

Choosing a quality diamond


a) Contour - is cut stone, which affects how light is reflected in diamond if cut too too deep or surface, the diamond is not as bright. Unfortunately for a perfect cut would have sacrificed a great deal of stone, and therefore have only one diamond cut surface to keep the stone as possible. When you compare, as well as ’score’ in terms of cut stone to be as small a scale from 0-10 (0 reflects the ideal cut, and 10 reflect the low cut).

B) Color - indicating quality diamond according to no. reflected color diamond with The fewer colors, much higher quality ring, have maximum quality colorless diamonds, follow the yellow light and then the intense yellow or brown. When you compare, remember that they are graded on a scale from D to Z letters (or numbers from 0 to 10), so D to F (or 0 to 1) are colorless, the G J (or from 1.5 to 3) are indistinguishable color, from K to M (or from 3.5 to 4.5) are easily colored from N to R (or 5-7 ) are light-colored, and from S to Z (or from 7.5 to 10) are markedly colored yellow or brown.

c) Clarity - is the number of imperfections that have diamond, The more with so little impefectiuni greater clarity and diamond quality increase. When you compare, note clarity gradations from clearest in the least clear: FL (the ideal), IF, VVS, VS, SI and I (inclusions can be seen even with the naked eye). It is also used many times and marks from 0-10 in reverse order of quality (0 being perfect diamond without inclusions, and 10 being the one with the naked eye visible inclusions).

D) Carat - indicates size of stone, with The more carats, the stone is so high. When you compare, remember that one carat equals 0.20 grams or 100 points. So a 0.25 carat diamond is 25 points or 0.05 grams. Do not bet on that one carat diamond is not necessarily more and more valuable. Remember to get a quality cut diamond size should be sacrificed, and remember that and no. inclusions and color significantly influences diamond value!
