How to Choose a Diamond Colour
Colour grade in diamond is very subjective, you should always choose a colour that you like. Many of these colour distinctions are so subtle they are indistinguishable from the next colour grade to the untrained eye. Near colourless diamonds in the colour grade of G and H offer the best value diamonds as they are far less expensive than the colourless grade and they do not appear very yellow.
How to Choose a Diamond Clarity
Flawless diamonds are the rarest and the most expensive. However, a diamond does not have to be flawless or need to be a VVS grade to be stunning.
The safest bet is to buy diamonds with clarity of SI2 or better.
SI1 and SI2 grades are eye-clean, which means the inclusions are not easily visible to the human eye. If the cut is excellent, these grades can be an excellent choice for diamond engagement rings.
How to Choose a Diamond Cut
For engagement rings, you should look for a Very Good or Excellent cut diamond, which has good brilliance and sparkle. Brilliance is the first thing people notice. You can learn to judge brilliance with the naked eye by comparing with many diamonds. Once you can recognise a well cut brilliant diamond with your eyes you are well on your way of finding the perfect diamond for your perfect engagement ring.
