Getting engaged? We hope you'll enjoy this article with important tips on the perfect proposal!
Not unlike any important purchase you make in your lifetime, it is always important and prudent to do the proper research. With todays major search engines throwing pages and pages of companies at you, it is very easy to research and select a reputable jeweler online with whom you will work on your diamond engagement ring.
Once you have secured your dream diamond ring, the tough part will be to put together and execute a memorable proposal!! This can surely be a daunting and sometimes overwhelming task. Regardless of how you decide to propose to your girlfriend, it is important that you be cognizant of your mutual likes and dislikes; your shared or independent passions. Much of this will influence the timing, planning and actual setting of your marriage proposal.
They say "timing in life is everyting". Indeed, you will have to choose the most opportune time for your marriage proposal. This might be influenced by a special date, a Holiday weekend, perhaps? Remember that for the rest of your lives you will always think back to your proposal with fond memories, so make it count!
Careful planning is also a vital component of a successful proposal. Where exactly do you wish to propose? Some people go back to the spot where they had their first date...others choose something more exotic..a vacation resort, or fancy hotel. How about a beautiful and scenic spot in the countryside? Destinations and locations should be carefully mapped out in advance so that there are no surprises when the special moment comes up. Be careful to consider things like temperature (what are you guys gonna wear..), ambiance, photography (you do want nice pictures to capture the moment..), surrounding attractions...etc.
The proposal itself
Make sure you know exactly how your going to propose in advance. Go through some trial rehearsals so that you don't mess up the most important question of your life when the time comes. Don't be afraid to let your emtions show when the time comes. If you are shy by nature, that's fine too. Words that come from the heart have a tremendous impact all of their own. She has been waiting for that special moment, when you get down on one knee and pledge your undying love and devotion, for a lifetime. There is nothing "girlish" or "typical" about doing the "one knee thing". She has been waiting for this and as uncharacteristic as it may be for you, it will speak volumes...and...SHE WILL SAY YES!
Bring out the diamond engagement ring, do your thing, and wait for her world to mesh with your own.
Hearts and Arrows Diamonds: Why You Should Buy One.
Hearts and Arrows Diamonds. Why you should buy one.
As you learn more and more about loose diamonds, you will come to understand that the ideal cut round diamond, will have the most refracted brilliance from any other diamond. Another hallmark of the finest ideal cut diamonds is the hearts and arrows patterning exhibited in these stones. There are many visual benefits in diamonds that have hearts and arrows patterning within the stone. These benefits will be most noticeable when the diamond is viewed in various lighting conditions. This is an important factor, since a loose diamond, when worn on her finger, is not a static object. Rather, it is constantly moving with every motion of her hand. These movements will play the light off of the diamond in a brilliant array of brilliance, fire, and scintillation, but, only when the diamond is cut for maximum brilliancy.
A diamond, when viewed under direct light (such as the overhead spot lights in most jewelry stores) will make almost all diamonds sizzle with life and fire. Obviously, how much fire and brilliance you will see, is largely dependant on the precision cut of the diamond. However, since this kind of lighting is entering and exiting through the diamond with such intensity, it will actually give an (inaccurate or fake) illusion of brilliancy even in poorly cut diamonds. It is for this reason that jewelry stores invest so much effort and money in their overhead and showcase halogen lighting, so as to give themselves an unfair advantage and trick the customer into buying poor quality diamonds that “look great in the store”.
The real trick of evaluating a loose diamonds beauty and light performance would be in sub-par lighting conditions, such as under a cloudy sky or drab office lighting. You may ask yourself, why cheat the diamond out of its ability to shine? The answer is that a diamond that has been cut for maximum beauty generates its own brilliance and light performance. It does not need to rely on an artificial light source to give it an appearance of being beautiful. Therefore, under typical office lighting, otherwise know as diffuse lighting, you would typically see less of a diamond’s dispersive qualities. This will be true for poorly cut diamonds. However, in a well cut diamond the excellent return of white light will be able to compensate for the somewhat muted fire in this environment. Ideal cut diamonds will certainly exhibit excellent light return in all environments.
Hearts & Arrows patterning in a loose diamond will make the diamond perform even better than typical ideal cut quality diamonds in practically any lighting environment. This is because Hearts & Arrows diamonds due to the precision of their facet alignment and placement will create increased contrast brilliance in the diamond.
The most noticeable type of lighting environment where a hearts and arrows round diamond will really shine, is under soft ambient or restaurant lighting. One of the biggest joys of owning a true ideal cut hearts and arrows diamond is to examine the diamond under dim candlelight or in a parking lot at night! Under these types of lighting conditions, a hearts and arrows diamond will absolutely explode with flashes of light that will be noticed from across the room! This is a direct result of the diamond’s perfect facet alignment which takes in all surrounding light and maximizes its refraction back to the eye in a prismatic burst of fire from all facets working in tandem.
Another much discussed advantage of buying a hearts and arrows or superideal cut diamond, is the effect of brilliancy on the wearers perception of the diamonds face-up color. All loose diamonds are assigned a color grade based on an evaluation of the diamonds appearance in the face-down position when viewed through the profile. The reason diamonds are graded this way, is because well cut diamonds that exhibit maximum light performance and brilliancy will actually create the appearance of a ‘whiter’ diamond. In the case of certain ideal cut diamonds, AGS-0 diamonds, and certainly superideal cut diamonds, this has proven to be true to the tune of 2 color grades better than the actual designation!! Therefore, diamonds have to be color graded in a way that will give the grader the best chance of eliminating the (advantage of) superior light performance in a well cut diamond! The only way to do this is by assessing a diamonds color grade in the position where brilliance, fire, and scintillation would not be harnessed and refracted back to the eye in a well cut diamond!
For all of these reasons, more and more customers are searching out the most beautiful diamonds, or hearts & arrows diamonds that money can buy!

Simple Tips For Finding The Perfect Engagement Ring
A Simple Guide To Purchasing The Perfect Diamond Engagement Ring
Diamond rings and wedding set by Vatche.
One of your very first tasks is to establish exactly how much money you have for this diamond engagement ring. There is a misconception promoted by many jewelers that you need to pay two months of your salary towards the diamond ring.......
Hogwash!
You need to pay exactly how much you can afford and not a penny more. How much you spend on the diamond engagement ring is not in any way an indication of how much you love your significant other. Please don't ever let anyone confuse this for you.
The bottom line is that the diamond engagement ring is a symbol of your love, not your wealth!
If you do your homework carefully, you will find that you can purchase a beautiful diamond engagement ring at a fantastic price. Canvass internet diamond and jewelry websites, as well as brick and mortar jewelers. Don't feel shy to ask whether they offer a lifetime upgrade policy so that you may upgrade your diamond ring in the future.
Next, you must understand that you will be faced with many choices when searching for the perfect diamond engagement ring.
Do you guys prefer platinum or gold? How about the styling of the engagement ring itself? Do you enjoy the classic solitaires or maybe something less traditional and a bit more modern? How about a diamond accent engagement ring to dress up your center stone?
There are so many engagement ring styles to choose from and your gonna have to wear it and enjoy it for a lifetime...so make it count!
Now comes the exciting part..;-)...choosing your loose diamond!
Although there are many diamond shapes and styles, the most popular engagement ring diamond is the 58 faceted "Round Brilliant Diamond".

There are also many other beautiful and elegant diamond shapes to choose from, including:
Heart shaped diamonds
Marquise cut diamonds
Cushion cut diamond
Oval diamonds
Asscher cut diamonds

Diamond Cut Is The Crucial C | The Internet Diamond Revolution
Walk into a typical jewelry store and you'll hear all about the 4 c's of a loose diamond. The first thing your'e gonna notice is that they give you a whole run down on diamond color/clarity with very little information on the most important aspect of the diamond; namely its cut.
For many years diamond cut was not something that was actually quantified and graded by the major laboratories. Many unsuspecting customers had no clue what differences, if any, existed between poorly cut and finely cut diamonds. In fact, most people didn't realize that the reason certain diamonds looked brilliant and sparkly, while others looked like frozen spit (love using that analogy..;-) had nothing to do with differences in color/clarity and everything to do with differences in "cut quality".
Heck, many people believed that the "cut" of a diamond referred to its shape!! This is still a common misunderstanding by many uninformed consumers who invariably end up spending a small fortune on a "maul" store diamond with poor cut and terrible light performance.
Today's Internet savvy consumers know better. They understand the intricate details and skill involved in cutting the finest ideal cut diamonds from a piece of diamond rough. They realize that it requires more effort, more manpower, and greater expense (there is more lost carat weight when a diamond is cut for greater precision and brilliancy....More weight = more money lost) on the part of the diamond manufacturer to cut a rough diamond for ideal specs. or better light performance/brilliancy in the polished/final diamond product. They know very well that this is the reason many manufactures will take the easy and cost efficient way out by mass producing mediocre to average cut quality diamonds in half the time/expense and sell it to the many "maul" store mentality" customers who don't know better. It is indeed for this reason that almost 85% of the world's entire polished diamond output is of average cut quality at best.
A diamonds "Cut" is King"!
For several years now, the Internet has been at the forefront of the diamond revolution with disseminating crucial information on all aspects related to a loose diamonds cut quality and light performance.
Consumers have access to all of this information, which is just a "click" away and quite literally at their fingertips!
Some diamond Internet vendors will even showcase their listed diamonds with all of the scientific cut precision and light performance data, which eliminates all of the guesswork from buying diamonds online.
It is for this reason that it never ceases to amaze me when I see many consumers still opting for the "don't ask, don't tell" method when purchasing an expensive diamond.
Why is it, that with all of the information available on a loose diamond, people will still choose to buy blindly without so much as an inkling of what they are paying for??
It boggles the mind, that the guy/gal behind the counter will pull out a crappy diamond from under the high intensity halogen blubs (designed to give a diamond artificial brilliancy...the oldest trick in the book) and tell you it's the best thing since "sliced bread".
No diamond information, or attribution....maybe some dubious "grading report" from the guy in the back room....and people will buy the stone!!
Some diamond salespeople are no better than a used car salesman.
These same people might exert tremendous effort and do a ton of research when selecting a gown or tux for the wedding....so why is buying an expensive and once-in a lifetime diamond (we hope..;-)) any different?????
The fact is, not all diamonds are created equal.
Just like any other product that has different levels of quality, beauty, and craftsmanship; there are commercial quality diamonds, better quality diamonds, ideal cut diamonds and even superideal cut diamonds.
The funny thing however, is that while you will almost always find a price premium associated with better quality products over the lesser items in most industries, it is not quite true in the diamond marketplace.
Indeed, the better quality diamonds are not entirely more expensive than the commercial quality stones, with the actual price differential being extremely reasonable and well worth it.
It is simply a question of doing a bit of homework to find these beautiful diamonds from amongst thousands of underachieving stones.
To be sure, there will always be consumers who do not appreciate the tangible differences between poorly cut and better cut diamonds and will decide to purchase a commercial quality diamond over a superior or ideal cut diamond.
This is true for any product and in every industry.
However, a true maven and perfectionist will insist on choosing a diamond for its cut precision and resultant beauty and not just because DeBeers told everyone that this piece of carbon is a womans "best friend".
If you are buying a diamond for its brilliance and sparkle, there is no question that a superior cut or super ideal cut diamond such as a branded SuperbCert Diamond (or any other similarly cut hearts and arrows diamond), is the most beautiful diamond money can buy.

A Guide To Buying Diamonds and Jewelry Online | Safe Diamond Shopping Online
Buying diamonds online might seem like a difficult challenge at first. Unlike a bricks and mortar store where you walk in and view the diamonds in person, buying a loose diamond online is often (and incorrectly) viewed as a leap of faith.
The truth is, with the right amount of homework, buying a loose diamond online can be one of the most rewarding shopping experiences you will ever have!
Reputable diamond vendors online offer the most comprehensive level of diamond information and customer service policies, as well as diamond prices that are way below the average prices for diamonds at a local jeweler.
Here are a few tips for online diamond shoppers that will help you find the perfect online diamond vendor for your business:
Do your research!
The beauty of shopping on the Internet is that every internet dealer lives in a proverbial glass house. A store that survives on the internet must be extremely careful never to do anything that would harm their online reputation. Indeed, with just one click of a mouse, you can "Google" any website and find out what people are saying about that company. Certainly, you should make an effort to see what people in cyberspace have to say about the jeweler you are contemplating for your business.
Most online sellers will also have a few sections on their website, where they talk about their business model, how long they have been in business, what their customer commitment is like, etc. These "about us" pages are just as important as the customer testimonial section and should be carefully reviewed.
Find out how long they have been in business.
Do they have clear contact information?
What are their return polices like? Do they protect your interests or their own?
Are their diamonds in-house, or do they just act as "drop-shippers" for the diamonds they sell?
The more information you have, the better your position.
Ask for as much actual diamond information as you can and do not buy from someone who cannot offer an actual photo and scan of the diamond grading report..at the very least.
Make sure that you are adequately covered by a clear and cogent return policy.
Look for a fully encrypted shopping cart, with the "lock" icon at the footer of the page before you make your order. Find out what this company does (if anything) with your private information.
Make sure the diamond seller has a proper means for shipping and insuring this diamond in transit, while it is on its way to you.
Lastly, don't forget that purchasing a loose diamond or diamond engagement ring online is no less romantic than buying a diamond engagement ring from a fancy store or jewelry boutique.
There is nothing "wrong" or "un-romantic" with getting the very best price on the best quality diamond engagement ring your money can buy. Buying a diamond ring on the internet doesn't remove the romance from your purchase.
Never take the romance out of your diamond engagement ring purchase!
So don't be swayed and arm yourself with as much information and knowledge as you can.

"You don't know how much we know, until you understand how much we care"
The beautiful 58 faceted round brilliant diamond which has become synonymous with the slogan, "a woman's best friend", has gone through a lengthy evolution until today.
The first 58 faceted round brilliant diamond was fashioned in the 1650's and early 1700's. As the cut parameters of the diamond evolved into the 1800's, the first "old-miner" and "European cut" diamonds were born. The premise of these diamonds was to sacrifice as little carat weight as possible from the diamond rough, even at the significant expense of the finished diamonds beauty and brilliancy.
In 1860 Henry Morse opened a diamond cutting facility in Boston, MA. His objective was to overhall the traditional old-European cuts by recutting them for increased beauty (more carat weight removed) instead of maximum weigh retention. His finished/polished diamonds were considered the most beautiful of the time.
In 1919 the famous Marcel Tolkowsky’s brilliant diamond cut was introduced together with his acclaimed published thesis on diamond cut. This framework for a diamonds cut parameters became known as the ideal cut diamond standard, by which round diamonds were fashioned into the most ideal cut for maximizing the stones beauty and light performance.
In the early 1930's Lazare Kaplan began cutting diamonds to the Tolkowsky ideal proportions for ideal cut diamonds.
In 1931 the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) was founded. The GIA and the AGS (American Gemological Society) would carve a niche for themselves in the next 45 years for being the standard bearers of the diamond grading industry and for enabling consumers to select the finest ideal cut diamonds by means of their grading systems.
In 1953, Richard T. Liddicoat developed a unique and novel grading system for diamonds that included a crucial framework for the evaluation of a diamonds cut.
In 1964-66, the AGS developed a 0-10 scale for grading diamond the cut of a loose diamond.
In 1996 the AGS grading Laboratories enters the grading world with a bang by begining to issue a specific cut grade for round brilliant diamonds.
In 2005, the AGS Laboratories introduces the AGS-0 Ideal Princess Cut Diamond. These are the creme-de-la-creme and the finest, most brilliant princess cut diamonds on the market. They also update their brilliance and light performance meauring metrics for the round brilliant diamond.
In 2006 the GIA laboratories jump on the "cut grade" and "light performance" "bandwagon'" by updating their own grading system for round diamonds to reflect and include a measure for the diamonds crucial cut grade.
Super-Ideal Cut Diamonds
In 1985 a diamond cutter named Kioyishi Higuchi produced the first branded Eightstar diamond for a Japanese businessman named Takanori Tamura using a performance assesment device called the Firescope. The Eightstar diamond was cut for the sole objective of achieving minimum light leakage and maximized diamond brilliance. This is the first "branded" superideal cut diamond that was introduced into the marketplace.
Since the creation of the Firescope, which measures the relationship between light leakage and refracted brilliance in a loose diamond, many scientific diamond evaluation tools were developed. While some of these tools measure the cut precision of a loose diamond, others have the ability to directly measure a diamonds light performance and brilliancy.
In the 1990's Super Ideal cut diamonds began to make waves in America.
The immediate popularity of the super-ideal diamond created the impetus for more refinement and evolution in the diamond technology sector for qualifying and quantifying a loose diamonds cut precision and visual beauty.
Today, in 2007, the most visually stunning and absolutely brilliant diamond that money could buy, is knows as the super-ideal cut diamond.
