It is said that the way
to a man’s heart is through his stomach but what holds the key to a
woman’s heart? To find the way to a woman’s heart, the easiest
and the sure shot way is to gift her exquisite diamond jewelry. But
since selecting the right diamond is not a piece of cake, especially
for guys, here is a guide to finding the best diamond for your girl –
Budget – As feared by
most bridegrooms to be, buying a diamond ring will not hit you under
the belt nor it will make you compromise on your yacht honeymoon in
the Mediterranean. Diamonds come in all the prices and therefore you
need to decide the budget accordingly. Learn about the 4Cs (Cut,
Carat, Color and Clarity) of diamonds as this will help you in buying
the right one without you having to shell more money than required.
Size of the ring – Once
you have decided on the budget, next thing is to decide the ring
size. Either you can steal/borrow one of her rings or take a sneak
peak into her jewelry box. However, there is a better alternative
than any of those. You can ask your fiancée or girl about her
preference. Diamond engagement rings last a lifetime and mean a lot
to the bride. Do not spoil her thrill by gifting her something that
she does not appreciate.
Quality – As discussed
in the first point, check out the quality of the diamond that you are
buying. Look out for flaws in the cut and setting of the diamond. If
the girdle is frosty, then it is a real diamond. However, if the
girdle is waxy, it is fake. Another way to know if the diamond is
real is to breathe onto the stone. If it stays foggy for sometime,
then it is not real. Ask the jeweler for a Certificate of
Authenticity before buying a diamond.
Shape – This is a
trickier part. Just like deciding the size, you will also have to
decide on the shape. The best option is to ask your girl about her
preference. You have to make a choice between different shapes from
princess cut, oval, round, or heart or pear-shaped to make the right
decision.
A diamond ring is a
symbol of undying love. Keep these pointers in mind and select the best diamond ring for your girl.
