Let’s Hear More About the Engagement Ring
Keeping things low-key, Danielle and Colin didn’t disclose any information about Danielle’s diamond engagement ring. All that is known to the public is that the center stone is a diamond. From the image, Danielle’s ring could be a gold band, and the shape appears to be elongated and rectangular, resembling an emerald, cushion, or radiant cut.
The Importance of 4Cs
If you intend to buy a diamond engagement ring for your loved one, it’s essential that you know what influences a diamond’s quality. Namely, the carat weight, cut, color, and clarity. Each element is equally important.
Carat Weight
Carat weight impacts the price of an engagement ring. Often, even the slightest difference in weight can mean you have to pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars more. The size can also be manipulated by choosing a specific diamond shape. If you want to save a few bucks but get a ring that visually appears bigger, elongated shapes are the way to go.
Color of a Diamond
The diamond’s quality and value depend on another factor: color. There are many colors, such as colorless diamond, near colorless, faint, very light, and light. These categories influence the price and the quality of the stone. They also have an impact on the visual appearance of a diamond. Depending on your preferences, you can choose a diamond with color J or K grade or a colorless one, which highlights the brilliance of a diamond. These are very rare and a pricier choice.
Diamond’s Clarity
Diamond clarity also impacts the visual appearance of a diamond in an engagement ring. A lower clarity grade might come with some inclusions, while a higher quality stone features less visible ones. Flawless diamonds, without any inclusions, are rare. Even those working in the jewelry industry for many years may not have seen one. The position of these inclusions and blemishes, as well as the shape of the diamond, impact the beauty of the center stone. Inclusions on the edges are less visible, while a bow tie effect should be avoided.
The Cut
The light reflecting on the diamond will depend on the cut and how skillfully it’s been shaped. Some diamonds have a Poor cut grade, while others have an Excellent cut grade. When choosing a diamond cut, you should compare how the diamonds look under diffused light, spot lighting, and a combination of the two.
