Ring Bling Part 2: Diamonds Are Forever
When choosing a ring, it is wise to consider what type of wedding band you will wear. Is it part of a matching set? Will you wear it alone? It is important to consider all these factors. Today some brides choose to wear only a wedding band. Most grooms all wear a wedding band. Whatever your choice make sure you’ve done your homework before making this big purchase. It is best to know when purchasing a ring the “Four C’s” Cut, Carat, Colour, and Clarity. In Ring Bling Part 1 Cut and Colour were defined. Here are the following two
Clarity:
- Is the most impressive quality of all.
- The more irregularities there are, the lower the value of the diamond.
- A flawless diamond must show no surface blemishes or interior inclusions when examined at a 10-power magnification.
Carat:
- The weight of a diamond is expressed in carats.
- The weight of a diamond is the most important factor when determining its value - however, a smaller carat diamond with better colour, clarity or cut can easily cost more than a larger carat diamond.
Most importantly, your ring’s cut, setting and stone should all be a reflection of your own tastes, opinions and backgrounds.
