Christmas is a popular time ‘for young couples to announce engagements, and to seal their pledges of betrothal with dia- monds — the very symbol of love and devotion. Whether the diamond enga- gement ring is a “surprise” or not depends entirely on the cou- Some girls like to be sur- prised but statistics show most couples prefer to shop to- gether for the ring, letting the girl make her own choice. If the boy i# concerned about prices (and most are) he can go to the jeweler in advance to select several rings within his budget. When he returns with his fiancee, the jeweler will show only those rings selected earlier, and the girl can still make her own choice. such | DETERMINING PRICE How is the price of a dia- mond determined? It is based, on the Four C's — carat weight, cut, clarity, and color of the in- dividual stone. No two diamonds are alike— jthey are as different as finger- prints. the same weight will vary in brilliance, color and. clarity, and will be priced accordingly. Carat is the unt! of measure used in weighing diamonds. A carat is divided into 100 poi nts, Even two diamonds of. like the cents in a dollar bill. | If a diamond is 530 points (pop | ular size for engagement rings), it weighs half a carat. Cut refers to the shape of the diamond and the arrangement of the facets, ‘‘the light ~— that catch the light and make the diamond sparkle.” The sha- pe of the diamond has little ef- fect on its price. Clarity means the absence of | carbon spots, bubbles or other | natural imperfections. The on- ly diamonds that can be rated | flawless are those which show no imperfections to an expert, using a glass that magnifies | ten times and working under | good light. SHAPES VARIED Most imperfections are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. Color of a diamond affects its price. The traditional bridal diamond is’ clear and colorless. The whiter a diamond is, the rarer it is and the more expen- sive. Off-white diamonds are still beautiful and valuable. Diamonds come in several shapes. Select the one most flattering to the hand.
