Wedding Rings – Diamond Masterclass

It is said that diamonds are a girl’s best friend and this certainly rings true in the shape of diamond wedding rings. So, any man preparing to pop the question should bear in mind the 4Cs of diamonds to make sure the wedding rings they choose yield the desired results. The 4Cs are:

• Carat – Possibly the all important aspect when it comes to wedding rings; the diamond’s carat. A carat is the standard unit of weight for a diamond. As the carat of diamond wedding rings is a unit of measure, not size, two diamonds both weighing one carat may well appear to be different sizes.
• Cut – When it comes to wedding rings, the cut of the diamond basically refers to two separate factors. Firstly, the actual shape of the diamond (pear, marquise etc) and, secondly, the way in which a rough diamond is cut to produce a polished diamond. Well cut diamond wedding rings will have a heightened level of brilliance, fire and sparkle.
• Colour – Diamond wedding rings come in all shapes and sizes. In addition to this, they also come in a variety of different colours as well. The colour of a diamond relates to the quality, rarity and value of the stone. Natural coloured diamonds are those which naturally occur over thousands of years of crystallisation. Synthetically coloured diamonds are those which are created in a lab and are significantly cheaper than their naturally occurring counterparts.
• Clarity – The clarity of diamond wedding rings relates to how a clear a diamond is and how prevalent flaws are within the diamond itself. Flaws within a diamond will disrupt the flow of light, which is why jewellers often refer to a ‘flawless’ diamond being an extremely sought after commodity.
