Cut however is not shape. The shape is merely an after effect of the cut. The cut is the manner in which geometry, light and shape all mix together to unearth the brilliance that is found in the diamond. Lighter diamonds tend to be more brilliant than bigger ones. This is because the amount of rigor that is made to cut and shape is more meticulous than just merely cutting into the surface. Cutting is a science and an art at the same time. The cut of the diamonds in engagement rings affect the brilliance, the fire and the scintillation of the diamond. The brilliance is the external and internal reflection of white light to the eyes, making the diamond very vibrant and pure. The fire is the interplay of the geometry as it refracts and disperses white light into various colors, bringing dynamic color appeal to the diamond. The scintillation of the diamond is the sine or glow as you move it and as you look at the diamond all over.

is 1 or 1.5 carat diamond ring appropriate or is that too cheap?
Can anyone actually find it for me?
Thank You so much =]
Is that value real, or is it just peoples thoughts and beliefs?
I’m doing a report on diamonds and I would like to know how women and men feel about diamond engagment rings. How big of a role do they play in engagements? Do women feel like the diamond says a lot about the couple’s love? How do men view this purchase? Is it important that the diamond shows their love to the perfect woman? Do women and men feel like this shows a certain social status? Do you see buying diamonds as a good investment? How do you see the value of a good diamond? I would like some first hand answers from married or engaged men and women.
My boyfriend has offered to take me shopping for engagement rings so that he can get an idea of what I might like. I have a feeling he thinks engagement rings cost a whole lot more than what they really do…. I have told him multiple times that he should spend 3 months salary on a ring or somewhere around that amount. He keeps throwing out numbers like $25K!!!!! I know he does not make that much in 3 months! How do I help him out with this so that he understands? I know ring shopping can be stressful and he doesn’t have a clue. How much does a typical engagement ring cost? I like princess or emerald cut. Platinum or white gold. Fairly traditional. Maybe I’m out of touch…LOL Any help with this situation?
In response to Marina, I just want to clarify that I have told my boyfriend that $25K is far too much to spend on a ring. 3 months salary for him right now would be around $6000.00. I don’t think that is too much bu the most that I would want him to spend. No nerve here just trying to reign him in so that he doesn’t try to go into debt!

I am in the market for a engagement ring. I am going with loose diamonds and then pick the setting that i think my gf will like. My question is this:
Is a .52 carat loose diamond too small ? This is the actual weight of that diamond and not what is referred by some marketing gimmick as “total weight or tcw (total carat weight)”
The other numbers are very good for the diamond such as,
Color: E
Clarity: VVS1
Cut: Very Good
I have no idea if half carat diamond will be too small. Obviously I would like to get a 1 carat but they are pretty expensive and even though i could afford it I just think that they are too much for a stone.
any advice ? oh yes, i would like to get answers from guys & gals. I know most of the girls would say its not enough because for most there is a psychological barrier of diamonds below 1 carat (or so i heard) so i would like to hear from guys too !!
I am ready to start shopping for a ring for my girlfriend and want to know more before I get taken advantage of or look dumb.
Thanks!
