Does the Perfect Diamond Exist?

By Luke Harris

So you’ve decided that you’re ready to propose to that special girl. With the decision comes the anxiety—when will you do it? How will you do it? What is the perfect setting for the proposal? And the toughest of all—what kind of engagement ring will be the perfect one? You’ll probably be asking yourself does the perfect diamond even exist. In fact it does. What makes a perfect diamond? It’s different for everyone. There are so many choices for diamonds (7 shapes to choose from, countless sizes and weights) where do you even start?

The best way to find the perfect diamond for your special someone is by finding out what her jewelry style is. If she favors simplistic jewelry styles, then a smaller diamond may be the right choice. If she’s not accustomed to wearing rings, then a smaller diamond is definitely the right choice for her as it will ensure she doesn’t accidentally hit it against hard surfaces. If you notice her wearing pear or heart shaped rings then you’re already halfway there. Personal preference decides the perfect diamond shape.

Remember that bigger isn’t always better. Spectacular diamonds rely on a great cut. The cut is what effects the overall shine of a diamond and a bad cut will make it dull. Color is another factor that decides the desirability of a diamond—remember the less color the better.

So you’ve done your research and consulted her friends and found what she’ll hopefully think is the perfect diamond. You may want to get a diamond grading report. These verify that the diamond is genuine and provide an evaluation of the gem’s characteristics. Now you’re ready to buy. No worries she’ll think it’s perfect, if not you always have the wedding ring. The wedding ring shopping will be no sweat. She’ll be able to pick out the diamond that suits her. You’ve done your part with the engagement ring. Now you can look forward to the wedding planning.
