Proposing can be quite a nerve-racking ordeal, especially when there¡¯s a diamond ring?involved. From the moment you enter the store, to the time you swipe your credit card, you are constantly fretting if the so-called ¡°great deal¡± you landed on the diamond engagement ring?was a rip off!?
But not anymore, if diamonds are on your mind there are just a couple of things you need to know. One of them is the 4 C¡¯s of a diamond:?Cut, Clarity, Colour, and Carat.?
Round, oval, princess or emerald cut ¨C there are too many options are out there for engagement rings. But what you choose makes the world of difference. It might get a bit technical, but the light passing through the cut of the diamond is what really gives it the sparkle and prismatic glow. And that¡¯s precisely why even the lowest grade diamond can look stunning if you choose a great cut. A quick look at Divine Solitaires and you'll notice their?Ex. Ex. Ex. Cut which stands for Excellent Cut, Excellent Polish and Excellent Symmetry and PLUS, signifying that the diamond has been checked across all 123 parameters. A?perfect cut in a round brilliant cut solitaire is identified by the Hearts & Arrows pattern. In the face-down position, you can see the 8 Hearts and when viewed face-up, the 8 Arrows.?On a range of excellent to poor, you¡¯ll find the round and princess cut in the cr¨¨me de la cr¨¨me.?
To you and me, any diamond might look sparkling, but in reality, the clarity of the diamond is defined by the absence of any inclusions and blemishes. The clarity is characterized by Flawless to Included 3. Often these inclusions and imperfections are not visible to the naked eye and hence, graded based on its clarity under a magnifier. If the Flawless quality beyond your budget, go for the next best VVSI (Very, Very Slightly Included) quality where the inclusions are visible only under a magnifying glass.?
If you never understood this one, we are breaking it down for you ¨C the carat is the weight of the diamonds. One carat is 1/5th of a gram. With every increase in carat, the rarity and value of the diamond increases. There is a price point attached to each carat, so if you have a diamond with 5 carats, it would be more valuable than 2 diamonds with 1 carat.?Anybody can check Divine Solitaires' current and past pricing on the app and website to understand and feel safe about diamond pricing which is the biggest consumer pain point.?Because of the transparent pricing mechanism at Divine Solitaire, they are able to give a 100% Upgrade on your product's current value. For instance,?if you have bought a?1 carat H-VS2 in Jan '16 for INR 4.53 Lacs, the current value will be INR 5.32 Lacs. If you want to buy 1.5 carat-H-VS2, which is currently valued at INR 9.24 Lacs, then you'll just have to pay the difference (i.e 9.24-5.32 Lacs). With this policy, Divine Solitaires ensures you get a 100% upgrade on the current value.??
Colourless diamond rings are the best ones. They are graded by professionals on a scale that goes from D to Z. If you are looking for a beautiful diamond, the D to I range is the one for you. Besides colourless diamonds, there are also blue, pink and yellow diamonds, and the grading for each of them is different. These fancy coloured diamonds are also more expensive and rare.?
