I spent what seemed to me a lifetime searching for the right loose diamond for my fiance.  I did not want my selection of diamond to be indecent and fail to steal her heart.   Over the course of a year I educated myself about the 5 C’s. Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat Weight and how they all determine the diamond’s 5^th C , which is the cost to you.

I was less than enthused by the brick-and mortar shops that applied more pressure than good advice to me.  I finally had topped-out on these stores that had memorable advertisements but low quality of diamond selection.  I surfed the web in earnest and found one company, http://www.uniondiamond.com/how-to-choose-the-right-diamond.html, that had a huge assortment of loose diamonds and some reasonable pricing!  Oh-Yeah!

I chose a 1.11 carat D SI1 GIA Certified loose round diamond, with 60.1 depth, 59 table, excellent cut & polish, very good symmetry, no fluorescence and measured 6.68 x 6.64 x 4.00 mm.  All this technical jargon to say when you place it on her finger – the air goes out of everyone as it catches the light and makes her melt!  Hope this helps anyone in a Wedding rush    Can anyone out there relate a similar experience?
