Looking for Diamond Engagement Rings? Let’s talk about the 4 Cs!

When it comes to buying ANY kind of jewelry it's important to make sure you look for specific attributes. Especially when it comes to jewelry with diamonds. We’ve mentioned before that when trying to find men rings, diamond engagement rings or diamonds on sale, you need to pay attention to the Four Cs. Now let’s dive right into the diamond shopping business and find out how to choose a diamond with the four Cs in mind.

Cut: When choosing a ring it's important to make sure that the cut of the diamond was done correctly. Symmetry or lack thereof, can make a diamond look or have less quality.

Color: a loose diamond should have a normal color range such as clear or even yellow. The whitest diamond available is D and the tinted diamonds are rated as Zs which are going to have a yellow tint. A color grade from G to J is the best! You can also purposely choose various colored diamonds these days as well.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the quality of the diamond. A low grade diamond could have bubbles, blemishes or spots. This isn't really something you want! However, a completely unblemished diamond is actually quite rare. So if you can choose between both distinctions, this should work quite well.

Carat: A lot of people assume that the carat has to do with the size of a diamond. Rather, it has to do with the weight of the diamonds. The majority of diamonds used in jewelry weight less than one carat! Carats numbers are usually written as 1.00 ct., 0.48 ct., 1.57 cts., and so on. If a diamond has more than one carat this will usually be stated on the package.
