Understanding Diamond Quality

By Maryl Joop


I recently proposed to my girlfriend and I am happy to say she is now my fiance. However, a lot of thought went into the proposal and even more thought and preparation went into purchasing her engagement ring (which she was very happy with). Here are some guidelines to follow when it comes to finding and buying her ring.

Recreation is an important part of every life, and finding a way for you and your family to enjoy the world and the opportunities it provides is an important part of living a full life. As you seek to find the kinds of opportunities you will enjoy in your life and that will help you to be happier as you spend your weekends recreating, you will be able to experience life more fully and grow closer to your family.

AS you try to decide the kinds of things you want to do with your family for recreation, you can look into the many opportunities out of doors. From camping and hiking to boating, there are many opportunities available to the outdoor adventurer that will lead to awesome experiences, and even more awesome memories.

Diamond clarity grades the lack of inclusions or blemishes. Internal characteristics of the diamond are inclusions while external characteristics are blemishes. The clarity rating is given based on the number, size, nature, relief, and position of these inclusions or blemishes. While it is not necessary to understand exactly how the diamond is graded it is important to understand what the grade signifies. None of these characteristics are obvious to the naked eye but may affect diamond brilliance. Have the jeweler let you see the diamond magnified to judge the size of possible inclusions or blemishes.

Before you hit the streets jump onto your computer. The internet makes this process ten times easier than it otherwise would be. First make a list of all the diamond stores in your area along with the urls for each. I did this on an excel sheet. Visit each online store to look at the inventory that they have along with the prices. If they do not meet your needs drop them off the list. As a side note, many stores will have more inventory online than in their physical store. If they have warranty information about their rings read through these making sure they include what you want, free 6-month cleanings/inspections and yearly rhodium dips are generally standard.

When people buy a boat, they often feel like the only real cost is the cost of purchasing the boat. But to be financially certain, there are many other costs that you need to take into account in order to understand the true burden a boat may be on your finances. Balancing these costs with the desire for a boat will help you to decide if a boat is right for you.

Also check into financing options for the ring. If you are planning on taking out a loan this is vital to ask if you have the money consider it anyway. Luxury goods like rings can boost your credit rating. Even though I had the cash I took out a loan that I can pay back interest free over six months to help boost my credit score.

Maintenance and fueling are other costs that you should consider as you think about buying a boat. You will need to ensure that your boat is safe on the water so you can maximize your fun and minimize the danger. By keeping your boat well maintained, you will be able to feel comfortable on the water.

So as you decide on buying a boat, remember to consider all of the costs it will include. Looking for auto insurance in Lakewood, CA will help you to understand the cost that goes into keeping a boat.
