Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend

They will never leave you, they won't get old and wrinkly, they don't yell at you so diamonds are a girls' best friend.
Although they will not keep you warm on a cold winter night; or sit and listen to your hopes and dreams, they re nice to have.
Every woman should have at least one good diamond, whether it is in her wedding rings or a pretty dinner ring.
When buying that one in a life time diamond there are some rules to adhere by to get the best you can afford.
Diamonds, real diamonds are not cheap.
But you do not have to buy the biggest one, nor the smallest one.
Learn the four C's in diamond talk, Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat.
The cut means what style the diamond is cut, it can be oval, pear shaped or square cut; clarity means how clear it looks to the naked eye; color is the hue that the diamond will give off, it can be red, yellow, brown, blue, etc.
the carat is how many faucets or carats the diamond.
It can range from a quarter carat up to five carats or higher.
Be sure to get an appraisal report as well, this gives the diamond authentic value.
One of the most famous diamonds of course is the Hope Diamond, some say it is over a billion years old, handed down from family to family or sold repeatedly.
Blue diamonds such as the Hope Diamond is the most expensive in the world.
They can come in different shades of blue and the most popular is the deep blue.
There are only a few that can afford the blue diamond, so you don't see them very often.
Colored diamonds are much more expensive than clear ones, but if you have a million or so lying around you can buy a red or green diamond, which are absolutely beautiful.
Not into red or green, try the purple diamond; this one only costs around half a million, of course that is by carat weight.
No matter what size or color the diamond you buy be sure to get it examined by a reputable jeweler, they can tell you if it is worth the money.
Many will buy old diamonds from estate sales, just be sure to have them appraised, as some people do not know what they have.
By all means have them insured.
So you see diamonds are a girl's best friend.
