babe okay so I found the perfect
engagement ring it's a one carat
princess cut and it's only nine thousand
dollars hey chief give yourself a pat on
the back yes she did say nine thousand
dollars but don't worry in this video
I'm gonna teach you how to buy the
perfect diamond for the perfect price
without sacrificing quality and staying
within your budget so you can drink
water in peace rule number one earth
mined diamonds always need to be GI a
certified rule number two buying a
lab-grown stone it must always be IGI
certified now there were past
certifications let's get into the
characteristics all diamonds in the
diamond industry are valued by what they
call the four C's cut color clarity
carat
cut is definitely the most important and
if you look at this graph you'll see
that diamonds are supposed to receive
light from the top and then reflect that
light directly back out if you have a
poor cut diamond the light will come in
and shoot out the bottom or different
directions but won't come out the top
this means your diamond won't Sparkle so
my recommendation always get excellent
or very good cut stones color is the
second most important on the list and it
refers to the amount of color present in
the diamond for this characteristic we
use the alphabet it starts at D and goes
all the way down to Z and once you get
past about J you start getting some
yellow in your diamond you don't want
yellow in your diamond so stay above J
in color second-to-last clarity clarity
is the characteristic that refers to the
imperfections in the diamond the catch
is they can only be seen under a 10times
microscope in most cases and they're
rated under 10 times microscope but in
some cases it's still visible to the
naked eye which is why I recommend
staying above si1 or better
finally carat carrier first the size
your budget is gonna dictate this so if
you are paying attention you should now
be equipped to buy a diamond with the
bare bones knowledge of what you're
getting but you probably still need a
little bit of help I got you faithful
