Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. And when they are set in a priceless one of a kind platinum setting, one can see why. Many occasions exist that are the perfect opportunity to bestow a loved one with a diamond. The classic diamond-buying occasion is the purchase of an engagement ring. The budget for such a ring has been formulated as a month’s salary or some equivalency determined by a full year’s pay. The bottom line is that a ring should be purchased with dutiful consideration of the financial burden it might bring to the union. Bringing a pile of debt to a new relationship is not advisable in the current economic climate. On the other hand, the engagement ring selected must adequately represent the undying nature of the symbolic love it conveys. The diamond buying decision can be wrought with anxiety, but by being aware of a few basic diamond quality tenets; the buyer can sail through without worry.

The three basic quality markers of a diamond are color, cut and clarity. Before embarking on a diamond-buying mission, an individual should place his or her expectations within an acceptable range. Once the general diamond category is recognized, the specific attributes of a diamond quality grading system can be considered. Color is a determinant of diamond value in the sense that there are some colors that are rarer than others are. Colors like yellow occur less frequently in diamonds, so their scarcity drives their value upwards. Generally the exotic colored stones will be extravagantly priced in a range that does not seem acceptable for an engagement ring. Clarity is a term that refers to a diamonds natural ability to reflect and refract light. If the light is able to pass through a diamond without losing its brilliance, the diamond is said to have a high degree of clarity. Conversely, if the light is dampened by a hazy or imperfect tendency, the stone is considered to have a lower degree of clarity. Cut is an aspect of a diamond that relies on the skilled hand of a gemologist. With a skilled hand, a gemologist can exploit the natural faceted tendencies of a stone in order to produce a brilliant specimen.
