Most people will eventually get married, settle down and start a family, though there are some who choose to remain single all their lives. Before they get married, it is time for them to start hunting for the most affordable Diamond Engagement Rings. There are four ‘C’s that you need to consider when choosing a diamond ring – Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat. With regards to cut, the round solitaire diamond has the most sparkle and is very common. There are other cuts like princess cuts, oval shaped, heart shaped, etc.
For clarity, grade D is more expensive than E and represents the clarity or clearness of the stone. Other grades may have blemishes that tarnish the clarity of the diamond. The more blemishes the diamond has, the cheaper it becomes and is less valuable. Diamonds also come in fancy colors like blue, yellow, pink, etc. The colors vary depending on where it is mined where South Africa is the biggest exporter of diamonds in the world.
Carat represents the weight of the diamond. It is obvious that 1 carat diamond is more expensive than say 0.5 carat diamonds. I used to follow my aunt around in Singapore and she was the one who introduced me to the features to note in choosing diamonds. I also owned a diamond cross bought in 1999 that comes with a certificate.
