Ring Bling Part 1: Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend
Maximillion of Austria is said to have started a wonderful tradition over 500 years ago when he gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy to seal their engagement. The Duke made a wise choice - the diamond - proven to be a fitting symbol for everlasting love because of its beauty, hardness and rarity, not to mention its enduring value.
Before purchasing a diamond every couple should understand the Four C’s (cut, colour, clarity and carat). The diamond industry uses the Four C’s to determine the value of a diamond.
The first two are:
Cut:
~ Determines the visual beauty of a diamond.
~ The cut transforms a rough, natural occurring crystal into the faceted, refined gemstone seen in the jewelry store.
Colour:
~ The common diamond is somewhat colourless, usually tinged yellow, brown or grey.
~ Very rare is the completely colourless diamond, thus making it very valuable.
~ Also rare and valuable are “fancy stones”, a diamond with a definite colour such as, red, yellow, green, blue or canary, rather than just a shade or tinge.
This ring is the symbol and token of that special ceremony that is a constant reminder of your love and vows. Traditionally, a man presents a ring when he proposes. Nothing makes a woman’s eyes sparkle more than a diamond engagement ring.
