So this whole time I've been so focused on the setting of the ring and how important Platinum is that I seem to have totally neglected the importance of the diamond! After all it is a diamond engagement ring. So since I did purchase the ring setting and the diamond separately I wanted to make sure that the diamond I was getting was the real thing. When I bought the diamond the jeweler insured me that it was a certified diamond. Well now I want to add it to my homeowners insurance just in case anything ever happens to the ring, the insurance company said I had to have a diamond certificate. 

So I went back to the place where I got the diamond and asked to have the certificate. Before I did that being the person that I am, I did my research online first. I came across GIA, the Gemological Institute of America. They're the ones that started "the 4 C's" I came across a lot of discussions about the 4 C's when I was looking for other peoples opinions on what type of engagement ring I should get. On their website I saw that they are the ones that have a truly unbiased opinion on diamonds, they judge diamonds on every level to insure that it is the real thing. I came across this video too, its pretty interesting.
