  Which of the 4Cs is the most important?
No one “C” is more important than another in terms of beauty and value. The 4Cs, which include color, clarity, cut and carat, are used to classify the rarity of diamonds and will not diminish in value over time. Diamonds with the best balance and combination of the highest 4C ratings are rarer and more expensive.
   
  Why don’t all diamonds come with a grading report or certificate?
Most diamonds under 1/3 (0.33) ct. are not accompanied with a grading report or certificate. This is usually because it is not very cost-effective to have the diamond undergo the costly grading evaluation of an independent gem laboratory as this can disproportionately inflate the cost of the stone.
   
  How do I know her ring size?
If you want to maintain the element of surprise, you can ask her mother or her sister, or you can take one of her rings that she wears on her third finger from her jewelry box to a jeweler and have him size it. You can also put her ring on your ringer and mark where it sits, then use our ring sizer to determine the appropriate size. To order one, click here.
   
  What is your return policy?
If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you may exchange it or return it for a full refund within 30 days of its ship date.
   
  How much should I budget for her engagement ring?
The most commonly accepted guideline is the two months salary, but as this is an important and emotional event, your most important consideration should be choosing a ring with a good balance of quality and value.
   
  What is the difference between white gold and platinum?
Platinum and white gold are two different metals. Platinum is a naturally white metal, whereas white gold is created by adding white metal alloys to yellow gold. Both are strong and durable although white gold is more affordable.
