Before we get started though, it is recommended that you only buy from a reputable jeweler.

The cut of the diamond is arguably the most important factor to consider when choosing a ring. The reason for this is because a well cut diamond will perpetually reflect light and create a visually stunning effect. If a diamond is poorly cut, the diamond may not reach its full potential, and you will most likely be wasting your money. Always be sure your expensive diamond wedding ring is cut to perfection, regardless of its actual shape (round, oval, pear, square, etc). | |

As you probably know, diamonds are formed in nature, so they most times have some sort of inconsistency.

These diamonds will have high clarity grades, and these are the diamonds that will be most worth your money. | |

For example, even though a carat actually weighs .2 grams, a jeweler will refer to a carat as 100 points. This tip will keep you from getting confused when looking at diamond specifications. | |
