Diamond Rings

Diamond Rings – Designer Rings from Premium Metals

The popular actress Marilyn Monroe had sung a song that diamonds are every girl’s best friend. This sparkling stone can bring a lovely smile on your lady love’s face and definitely cheer up her mood. So when you are hunting for a diamond ring, there are four important C’s that you need to keep in mind and they stand for diamond’s color, clarity, carat and cut. Detailed information on these basic properties will allow you to buy the best diamond ring, which easily fits your budget.

Color – When we refer to diamond’s color, it basically means its colorlessness. Diamond gets its shine and sparkle from the amount of light that easily passes through it. Any white diamond will have a greater value when compared to the rest of them. These purely white diamonds are rare in nature and thus, are priced high. Generally, diamonds are ranked on the scale on D to X. A X rated diamond is light yellowish in color, whereas the one that falls in the D category is absolutely colorless. All the diamonds that are rated anywhere between G and I have no visible color.

Carat – Diamonds are weighed in Carats depending on their sizes. One carat diamond is equal to 0.2 grams.

Cut – Most of the people are mistaken when cut of the diamonds is talked about. It does not refer to how it has been cut or its shape, but it’s the reflective qualities of a diamond. Thus, it is best that you do not opt for a diamond that has a deep-cut, as the light does not reflect back to the top. This is one thing that all the jewelers look for before buying a diamond out of the other attributes. It's rated in six different categories, premium quality, good, average and poor.

Clarity – This C refers to the inclusions and blemishes of a diamond. Inclusion means the flaws that are within the stone and blemish refers to the flaws that are found on the surface of the diamond. Clarity of diamond might be a little confusing for you. Thus, it is best you speak to your jeweler to help you see the difference between blemishes and inclusions in the diamond that you want to purchase.

Keeping all these important points in mind, you are sure to make a wise choice and gift your loved one a good diamond ring.
