How to pick the perfect diamond for your engagement ring
When you’re shopping for an engagement ring, it’s important to keep the “4 Cs” in mind: cut, colour, clarity and carat. These factors will affect a diamond’s beauty and value. But there’s more to picking the perfect diamond than just these four things. Here are some other important considerations to keep in mind.
The 4 C’s of diamonds: cut, colour, clarity and carat
The “4 Cs” of diamonds stand for cut, colour, clarity and carat. Cut refers to the diamond’s proportions, symmetry and polish. It affects the diamond’s brightness, fire and how sparkly it appears. Colour is judged on a scale from D (no hue) to Z (a yellow hued diamond). Clarity is judged on a scale from IF (flawless) to I3 (imperfect). Carat weight is how a diamond is measured and is the size of the diamond.
Shapes and setting of diamonds or precious stones
The shape of a diamond is its outward appearance. The most popular shapes are round, princess, oval, marquise, pear, heart and emerald. The setting is how the diamond is held in place. There are three main settings: prong, bezel and Pavé.

How to care for your engagement ring once you’ve said “yes!”
Once you’ve said “yes” to the proposal, it’s time to start thinking about how to care for your engagement ring. Here are a few tips:
- Store your ring in a safe place, such as a jewellery box or safe.
- Keep your ring clean by washing it with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as bleach.
- Take your ring to a jeweller for regular cleanings and check-ups.
- Remove your ring before doing activities that could damage it, such as cooking, gardening or cleaning.
Ring sizes: what’s the perfect fit for you?
Finding the perfect ring size can be a challenge. Here are a few tips for finding the right ring size for you:
