more diamonds!

Hey!
Alright so I'm pretty sure that the diamond I purchased for Amy's engagement ring won't be the last diamond I ever buy! And after the experience I had I see that it's very important to know your stuff about diamonds. You have to go in there knowing exactly what your looking for.

There are so many little details when it comes to diamonds, I read a lot about the 4 C's and how important they are. GIA was the first institute to create the 4 C's that are used by everyone now. Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut, they are all very important. GIA talks about how these 4 characteristics all contribute to a beautiful diamond. They are the key factors to consider when judging a diamond.

Its February!

So far the year is flying by. This past weekend was a special one for me, and for Amy of course. I proposed and she said yes! She was stunned by the ring. It looks so amazing on her.

Luckily I was able to get the GIA grading report that came with the diamond I purchased before I got the ring mounted. I'm one of the first ones of my buddies to get engaged. And with all the research I've done and all the discussions I've had with them, I know that they will all be coming to me for advice when it comes time for them to shop for engagement rings. I was curious to see what other guys knew about diamonds and engagement rings and I found this video.
