When someone talks about the clarity of a diamond, they're telling you how many imperfections are in the stone. And how visible they are. This grade is fairly intuitive: the lower the rating on the scale of imperfect to flawless, the more flaws exist and the more visible these diamond flaws are.
This doesn't apply to the men who work in a jewelry store (if you do, good for you) or the ones who through some sheer luck had all this explained already. But for the uninitiated [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's a few things you need to pay attention to.
Say you know which diamond you're getting. A 3-carat princess cut that's rated a D on color — the highest rank — and flawless clarity, for example. The next problem now is which metal to get it made from. Your options here are yellow gold [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], white gold, silver, platinum, and titanium. There might be some other choices, but those five are the most common.

Color is, well, the color of the stone. In diamond rings, it might surprise you to know that not all diamonds are actually white (clear). The Hope Diamond, for example, is classified as a Fancy Dark Grayish Blue diamond. And though many colors can occur based on all kinds of scientific things like nitrogen content, most diamonds on the market today are in the "normal color range" of yellow, through light brown, to white. Any other colors, beyond what's called a Z grade of yellow, are known as "fancy" diamonds. These colored diamonds are the rarest of the rare.
Cut is the form the raw diamond is shaped into. This is the first thing you notice when choosing a ring and the first she'll notice when you pop the question. In fact, picking the wrong one of the eleven possibilities can be a Very Bad Thing. Your choices are:
Still here? Good ... you might get through this without your eyes glazing over after all.
The carat of a diamond refers not to the size, but to the weight. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams, which means a 1/2 carat stone weighs in at 100 milligrams and so on from there. Follow so far? Good. Some women want a specific carat of stone (and if you're lucky they'll tell you), whereas others are less decisive on size and more focused on quality. It really all depends on the woman.
So guys, you've decided to propose to your girlfriend. That's a big decision you're making, and you want to be sure you're giving her the kind of ring she's going to love showing off to her friends. But you've hit a bit of a snag: you know next to nothing about diamond rings.
Is your head spinning yet? No? It will be soon, because there's still three C's to go.
In this case it all comes down to personal preference. Yellow gold, the most classic of the metals, is making a comeback in recent years after being overtaken by white gold. Silver rings are inexpensive compared to their gold brothers; and platinum and titanium rings are the rarest of all types.
The four Cs are cut, color, clarity [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and carat. These four qualities are the things you look for in a ring. Enlist whatever help you can to ensure you know the levels you want in each area.
The final thing you have to consider is the setting of the diamond. Do you want
