By Grover Crossnov


If you are thinking of choosing a diamond ring, you are likely to be excited but rather apprehensive. However, the thought of buying a diamond engagement ring online is likely to be much more overwhelming. But by gaining as much knowledge beforehand as possible, you are very likely to be able to choose the ring of your dreams.

It is important to make sure the site you decide on is secure. The jeweler's return policy is also important in case the ring size is wrong or you're just not happy. By doing a search on Google, for example, you will find a list of the most popular online jewelers available but the list is endless.

Learning some facts about diamonds is vital and include ?cut', ?color', ?clarity' and ?carat'. The majority of jewelry websites provide this information. In addition, they also supply details about diamond certificates. Two examples are: AGS (American Gemological Society) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America). The main purpose of discovering as much as you can before buying your engagement ring is is to enable you to choose the largest and best quality diamond available.

It may seem easier to go into a high street jeweler to make your purchase but once a diamond has been set, it isn't possible to see any defects that could be hidden under a prong of the setting. Choosing the diamond first and then the setting are much more exciting and an online jeweler like James Allen gives the customer the opportunity to look at any diamond they are interested in using their innovative virtual loupe system. The diamond can be seen under nearly 20x magnification and to ensure you are getting the actual ring you have chosen, every diamond is sold with a certificate of grading. In addition, the diamond can be viewed in numerous settings using their 3D technology.

There are numerous different diamond cuts but the most popular is the brilliant, round cut. Deciding which of the 4 characteristics of a diamond is confusing but it is important to remember that all combine to give the diamond its beauty. Choosing a diamond to enjoy rather than to invest in will simplify things. Before making a final decision, it will be helpful to remember the following guidelines.

When a diamond is cut well, it will appear bigger and more brilliant or shiny. The general rule of thumb is to choose a diamond with a 60/60 depth to table ratio. Only expert diamond graders are able to discern color and clarity properly so choosing anything higher than a ?G' color and VS2 clarity is unlikely to make the diamond look more beautiful but will increase the price considerably. Bearing all this in mind should enable you to buy a larger but beautiful diamond at a more affordable price.
