No two diamonds are alike, so what makes one diamond more valuable than another? To better understand it we need to dive into the 4CS of diamonds:

First Visualize how it will look when it has been set into a ring. When choosing the best metal for rings is the color of the diamond, or diamonds, in your engagement ring.

If you are buying a loose diamond, place the diamond on the top of your hand and compare it with a similar diamond already mounted in jewelry. White diamonds will look great with all metal types, but coloured or ‘fancy’ diamonds will be best enhanced by white gold or platinum, as the hue of the coloured diamond will contrast with the color of the metal ring.

6. How to Take Care of a Your Engagement Ring

Avoid touching the center stone at all costs. Diamonds and other precious stones are magnets for dust, dirt, and body oil. For washing just drop it into a mug of warm water mixed with a few drops of soap or mild dishwashing detergent. Bleaching & other harsh chemicals can harm your ring.
