Our research hunger is programmed that way kind of, especially once you have entered the land of unveiling diamond mysteries!! So, now letβs see which of the 4 Cβs is most important.
How will life feel without the colors around us? A little boring, right? π If you're old enough to have seen TV in black and white, you might know exactly what I'm talking about. π
However, diamonds are better when they're colorless! The less the color, the higher the grading scale. Isn't that crazy? π€― Well, that's simply because colorless diamonds are not only rare but also absolutely stunning! Β They have the most fire and brilliance out of all the other options! βΊοΈ
Clarity can be compared to a really simple life problem that we all face - acne and pimples! π They are not that pleasing to the eye, right? If they're really huge, you won't even be able to hide them with a little makeup! π€ However, if they're small, they won't make much of a difference. π€―
That's exactly how the inclusions in a diamond would affect it's clarity. π You should choose one with the least inclusions as it will make it the most brilliance and fiery effect! πβ¨ If you don't want to choose the highest graded diamond, just get one that's clear to the naked eye.
Oh, carat- the theory of weighing the diamond! This C impacts a lot of things while you land at the final choice! Like you may be wondering if the carat of diamond affects its size? Or what carat size diamond should you get? Hmm, all impressive questions! π€
Generally, this is a unit of measurement that is used to weigh the diamonds. It's going to make the biggest impact on the pricing of the final gemstone!β
1 carat = 0.2 grams = 200 milligrams.
Remember when you were a child? You must have made those paper boats, they were real fun. π So easy to just tear pages from the notebooks and make a paper boat. But remember? If they were not torn perfectly, you would pass it on to your friend and not keep it for yourself. π
Well, that's how the cut of a diamond would affect it. You should choose one that's perfectly symmetrical in every way and form. It shouldn't have any imperfections, whatsoever! π€
You want everything perfect in your love life, right? π So, look out for the one which has symmetrical sides and defined facets. π₯°
What do you think is the most important C? Well, it may be different according to your preferences. π€ However, according to many professionals and me of course, cut is the C that's the most important and makes the biggest difference! π€©
It's recommended to make this your priority when you decide to finalize your engagement ring choice. It's quite important and something that shouldn't be ignored even if you decide to ignore all other aspects. π Your partner deserves the most perfect gemstone that has ever been made because they're one in a million, right? ππ₯Ίπ

]]>All that and then the exciting engagement ring quest! Understanding the realities of the diamond realm you are wishing to enter! May the Gods of love be with you! Wondering whatβs more important? Cut or clarity of your diamond?! Hmm, let me unveil some truths for you!
Imagine this, it's Valentine's Day and you're getting a heart shaped card for your loved one. π They're all handmade and not all of them are cut perfectly. π€
Would you pick out one that's totally symmetrical and perfect for something that's imperfect? π You're going to pick the perfect card to make your loved one happy! π
Well, diamond shopping is very similar to this idea. There's all types of diamonds out there - perfect and imperfect ones. If you want the most beautiful one - the cut should be absolutely perfect with the 58 facets in place and the symmetrical sides. π
You don't need a zooming eyesight or clarity to spot your loved one. π You can sense them around you even when your eyes are closed! That's called LOVE. π
However, clarity does play an important role when it comes to diamonds. π The perfect diamond needs to have the least inclusions possible! π
Do you want pimples on your face? No! Just like that, no one wants inclusions in their engagement rings. If you don't want to buy the highest grade, just get one that's flawless when seen with a naked eye! π
The answer is - cut! πͺ If you ever take a look at theΒ 4C's, they include - Color, Clarity, Carats and Cut! Is this getting too complicated? π Well, in simple words, all I'm trying to prove is that the CUT is the most important C!
Why? Because it has THE GREATEST influence on how a diamond sparkles. In other words, how stunning and just oh so beautiful your engagement ring looks. You can skip everything but prioritize the cut and you'll get yourself a stunning engagement ring. π So, are you ready to see your partner's face light up with happiness? π

]]>If you've been doing this research for a while, you might know how much clarity and color can affect a diamond! π You can't just choose out a gemstone without keeping these aspects in your mind! Want to learn more? Let me spill the tea for you. β
There's always a scale in life right? We can't let go of these rules, sometimes. If you have a stable job and a happy family, you will be considered an inspiration and placed in the highest scales stability in life by people. Β
Similarly, there's also a grading scale for clarity in a diamond! π These rules definitely don't make life or engagement ring shopping easier, but they're important! π
Diamond clarity can make a really big difference in the price and the overall look of this gemstone! π Here's the scale that it's graded on: (if we can add an easily understandable visual like this)
Β
Β
Β
Β
FL - IF - Internally Flawless. π
VVS1, VVS2 - Very Very Slight Inclusions.π
VS1, VS2 - Very Slight Inclusions.π
SI1, SI2 - Slight Inclusions. π
I1, I2, I3 - Imperfect.π
A diamond's color is definitely a really important aspect as it is a part of the 4C's; however, it's the least important C.
Β Your partner will not be able to notice much difference between the colors and will just be more happy about the fact that you got them this ring. πΒ
However, if you still want to give your best, I recommend you to take a look at this grading scale:
Β
Β
Β
Colorless - D, E, F π
Near Colorless - G, H, I, J π
Faint Yellow - K, L, M π
Very Light Yellow - N, O, P, Q, R π

]]>So, talking of sparkle, sparkle is a big reason for people buying diamonds instead of any other gemstones! β¨ You can only get that brilliance π in your stone if you make color and clarity your main priorities! Sounds a little complicated? Well, read on and I'll make it easy for you. π₯³Β Β Even though these points will help you out a lot, I can't promise the sparkle will be brighter than your significant other's smile! π
Have you ever had a white shirt and noticed it getting yellowish overtime? π It's probably because you wear it a lot and it's time for a new one! π€ Which one would you prefer? A fresh white shirt or a yellowish old shirt? Of course, the fresh white shirt! π₯Ό
Similarly , a diamond's color grading goes all the way from D to Z! Isn't that crazy? Β What do you think would sparkle more? An icy white diamond or the yellowish one? Definitely the icy white one! π
It can be important for you to choose this option if your partner is always listening to rap songs about icy diamonds. ππ Color has definitely more to do with the fire of the diamond than the sparkle! Β Anything from D to J should be good! π
I'm going to try to make this as easy for you as possible. π Clarity is a really important aspect when it comes to buying diamonds. π Clarity, alone, can make the price go down by thousands of dollars! Isn't that crazy? Β
Inclusions are like pimples in a diamond. π If you have pimples on your face, you wouldn't feel the most confident right? Β They don't make you look your best self! Well, just like that inclusions can make a diamond less clear! π
Let's think about it this way - if you have more pimples, you'll have less confidence? π Just like that, if a diamond has more inclusions, it will have a lower quality grade. βΊοΈ
You need to try to get the one that falls in these categories - FL-IF to VS2 - everything in between would be very clear to the eye! π The inclusions are just going to stop the light from being reflected and as a result, decrease the sparkle! π
The winner is - clarity! Yeah, I can tell how much you love your partner and won't have a problem finding them out of a crowd even if you had bad eyesight! π However, when it comes to material things, this aspect plays an important role.
Higher clarity will lead to lower inclusions which will make the diamond sparkle very bright!Β β¨ It's going to make your partner's day just by looking at that beautiful sparkle, every morning. ππ
