Diamond Wedding Engagement Ring Buyer's Guide
By Michael Wangner
The average diamond engagement ring costs as much as several notebook computers, or possibly a small car, yet many men know next to nothing about how to make sure they don't get ripped off when it comes time to tie the knot. Luckily, although there is much to know about diamonds there are only a few things you need to remember, and I'm about to tell you what they are.
First, make sure you know the shape of the diamond you want. The most common are "Princess" (which looks square from the top) and "Round" which is also called "Brilliant" or "American" cut. Your jeweler can show you other popular cuts, but some of the ones worth mentioning are "Pear", "Emerald", "Oval" and "Heart", all of which look pretty much like what you would expect.
After deciding on a shape it's time to get your hands dirty with the technical stuff. I recommend looking at only GIA certified diamonds so you can be sure of the quality and compare different diamonds (and different prices) more easily.
We'll start with the most difficult factor: Cut. And I'll start by telling you to ignore it for the most part. Basically, if the diamond is too shallow or too deep it will affect how it "sparkles". Just make sure the diamond looks fairly normal and you'll be fine.
Diamonds, believe it or not usually have imperfections inside of them. These are called "inclusions" and are measured on a scale of "very, very slight" to full-blown "inclusion". All you need to know: SI1 or SI2 represent the best value. The "slight inclusion" rating means the imperfections are obvious under magnification, but still impossible to see with the naked eye.
Color is measured in letters which begin with D, which stands for "Colorless"
