All SI clarity diamonds will have clarity characteristics (aka inclusions/blemishes). The term “eye clean” refers to whether or not you can see any inclusions with the unaided eye when the diamond is face up from a distance of approximately 8-12 inches.
Who came up with the 2 month salary rule for engagement rings?
October 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
If you’ve heard about the two month salary rule you have probably heard about the three month salary rule as well. Both rules are a myth and not a fact. There is no set dollar amount or percentage on how much you should spend on an engagement ring. This is an individual decision that you’ll need to make. Like any large purchase, we suggest establishing a budget first before you even begin to start looking. Once you’re budget is established and you have been provided with all the options available within that budget you’ll then be able to make an informed decision on which ring is right for you and your significant other.
While we’re talking about myths there is one other to bring up here. Bigger is better – so untrue. When shopping for diamonds, size is not the first thing you should look for. The cut of a stone should be your priority followed by color, clarity, and then weight.
