Pick the diamond for your engagement ring

You've decided on the diamond cut. Now you are wondering what other aspects are relevant to choose
a diamond well. It is simple; just like the diamond cut, not everything in a diamond is about weight.
These fragments of eternity are also desired for their flawlessness. Let's keep it simple:

You are looking for a diamond of large size ➜
Focus on the   carat   (weight) of the center stone.
You are looking for a diamond that reflects light well ➜
Ask your jeweler about the diamond   cut   options for your ring setting.
Your choice is based on flawlessness ➜
Ensure the   clarity   of your diamond. Well-graded diamonds will have few blemishes and insertions.
You seek a diamond that looks like the real deal ➜
Color   is the aspect for you. Diamonds of low color grades can seem yellowish or brown, giving off a cheap appearance.

Remember, a good quality diamond should have a well-proportioned blend of carat, cut, clarity, and color.
Your jeweler is the best person to help you balance the four properties well.
