 Choosing the very best engagement ringMonday, 30 August 2010 When you give someone an engagement ring, you are showing them your commitment and also making a very important promise. Giving an engagement ring is a really exciting time and that is why you need to make sure that it is perfect. You need to arrange the perfect setting and you also need to ensure that you have the perfect piece of jewellery to give to your loved one to represent the occasion and to also symbolise your relationship. In order to pick the perfect engagement ring, you should consider the four Cs. These are clarity, cut, colour and carat. There is always a bit of debate surrounding the question of which of these is most important. Some people argue that the carat is most important because this indicates the size of the diamond, but others say that the cut is what makes a difference because it is this that can create a real sparkle. Clarity refers to the imperfections within the diamond. A flawless diamond is the one that is most sought after, but these are very rare. Most diamonds will have a certain amount of imperfections in them, so it’s a case of finding one that has the least number of imperfections within your budget. |
