The season of festivals, from a Christmas party to a New Years party, makes it the most memorable moment of our lives; a proposal. Sparkling lights, romantic locations, and happiness being high in the air, most couples make this season of the year the time to make the next big step. When you are about to plan a holiday proposal, selecting the right ring is your foremost activity.

You can be looking at diamond engagement rings, you can be scouting through the best diamond ring Hong Kong boutiques, you can be surfing through wedding rings, and this guide will enable you to make a sure, considerate, and definitely magical decision.

1. Begin With Learning the 4Cs

Purchasing any diamond, and most especially to propose on a Christmas or a New Year date, one must know the 4Cs when it comes to cutting, colour, clarity, and carat.

Cut

The cut is said to be the most crucial of the 4Cs because it defines the brilliance of the diamond. A jewel is well cut and thus it appears to be much smarter. Round brilliant, princess and oval are popular cuts used as engagement rings.

Colour

Diamond can be colourless or slightly yellow. The purer and less colourful the stone, the more valuable it is. To achieve a clean and bright appearance, have a colour grade between D and G.

Clarity

Clarity is used to determine the natural flaws within a diamond. Although perfect stones are quite scarce, there are numerous minor inclusions that cannot be observed at all. Select a grade of clarity that is pleasing to the eye and not too expensive like VS1 or SI1.

Carat

Carat weight determines everything to do with size but keep in mind that bigger is not necessarily better. A small diamond that has a great cut can appear glittery as compared to a bigger diamond with a mediocre cut.

Knowing the 4Cs will make sure you only choose a diamond that would not only be within your budget, but provide the highest amount of beauty.

2. Consider Her Personal Style

Vintage & Romantic

Cushion-cut stones, halo settings and elaborate details create a dreamy and vintage effect that can be enjoyed by a person fond of old-world class.

Minimalist & Simple

Bezel settings, thin bands, and simple diamonds are befitting an individual who likes a classy jewellery.
