You've found just the right person to spend your life with. Now, all you need is a "yes" and the date can be set for your wedding and future happy life. Before this happens, however, you will need to find just the right diamond for the engagement ring. Shopping for diamonds in NYC can be daunting if you don't know anything about them. Jewelry store experts will be glad to help you, but here's a very brief education about these precious stones to put you ahead of the game as you begin shopping for that all-important piece of jewelry. Carat Weight The carat measurement refers to a diamond's weight, but it should be understood that all diamonds of a specific weight don't come in the same dimensions. Keep this in mind when you choose the setting in which the diamond will sit. A "2-Carat stone" is an example of this measurement. Diamond Shape This refers to the diamond's shape when viewed from above. Round, princess, and emerald shapes are three of the most popular ones, but there are many other shapes available. Diamond Cut A diamond's cut is the most important characteristic in determining its beauty. The more precision the cut, the more it sparkles. There are different grades of cuts from poor to excellent. Choosing a diamond with a cut grade of at least "good" or "very good" is a wise idea if you want a beautiful diamond ring. Clarity This refers to the amount of imperfections in a diamond, all of which have some in them. The fewer the imperfections, the greater the clarity grade. Color Diamonds are color-graded on their "whiteness" or lack of color. A "D" grade is the highest and a "Z" grade is the lowest. Some diamond dealers will sell only stones with a "J" grade or higher. Now, when shopping for just the right diamonds in NYC you'll know a thing or two about them so that you'll be able to choose the perfect diamond engagement ring for that perfect person.
