So you've dropped the question and she said yes. Congratulations! Chances are she will
love
anything you give her. But why not give her the surprise of her life and give her
something
better than she could have picked out herself. The answer? A diamond wedding ring.
An easy way to avoid spending time researching how to purchase a good diamond and
ensure that
you will not get ripped off is to have the
diamond wedding ring you are interested in buying appraised
by an
accredited gemologist. The price is $100-$300, but well worth it.
If you are going to skip the appraiser, and prefer to educate yourself, the first thing to
understand is the crux of what determines a diamond's value.
The four Cs:
Cut: The cut is the most important. How the diamond is cut determines how brilliant the
diamond will be. Round cuts are generally more brilliant, if cut properly, than fancy cuts.
Clarity: The fewer the imperfections, the more brilliant the diamond.
Carat:Diamonds are priced by carat, not weight.
Color: The clearer the diamond, the more light can pass through and refract.
Two more Cs to think about.
Certificate: Make sure your diamond has a certificate of authenticity and has been
graded
by a gemologist.
Cost: You don't have to go into debt to get a nice
wedding ring. Remember, size doesn't
necessarily
matter. If your fiancee has thin fingers, a .8 carat will look significantly bigger. Or,
if you
want a large ring, trade off clarity or color for carat. You can determine what "C" is more
important to you and buy accordingly.
