The wedding ring is a symbol of the never-ending relationship that you and your future spouse are undertaking. Not only are they important for your wedding day, but keep in mind that you will be wearing this jewelry on a daily basis for many years to come. Choose a ring that fits your personality and is proportional to the size of your hand.
 
If you have decided to include diamonds in your rings, the "Four C's" are good to keep in mind. Clarity, cut, color, and carat should all be considered along with the price.

Clarity measures the numbers of flaws or imperfections that can be seen in the diamond when viewed under a gemologist's magnifying glass. Make sure view the diamond for yourself!!

Cut refers to the final shape of the diamond. A round cut is the most common, but oval, pear-shaped, and marquise cuts are just as pretty.

Colorless diamonds are considered the most perfect of diamonds. You will want to select a diamond that has the least amount of color to it to get the most for your money. Many jewelry stores will use a special blue lighting in their display cases to mask tints in the stone. Always ask to see the diamond in normal daylight to get a better idea of the true color.

Finally, the carat weight is the size of the stone. It is important to remember that carat weight alone does not tell the value of a diamond. You can have a larger diamond with many flaws or a smaller diamond with few flaws and they may have the same value. You need to take all "Four C's" into consideration when shopping.
