Quick and Easy Buying Guide

Carat weight: 1 carat = 200 milligrams = 6.5 mm diameter. Doubling weight doesn't double diameter.

Diamond clarity: FL/IF/VVS/VS = super expensive, near perfect. SI = best value if you can check a photo for obvious inclusions (defects).

 

Color: D-G = colorless, expensive, only if you have money to burn. H-J = best value. Can go lower in gold metal settings than white metal.

Cut: Better cut ratings let more light into a diamond, making it sparkle more. Very important property, don't skimp here.

Set a budget and minimum cut (Premium). Go J color for gold and I/H for white metals. Go searching for SI1/SI2 clarity diamonds at James Allen. Pick a diamond with small/no inclusions. Choose a ring setting and buy it risk-free (60-day returns).

She met her ex-husband Ryan Reynolds, the actor, in 2007 and became engaged in 2008. Their ring was quite modest by celebrity standards, although still quite fantastic by everyday standards - a round shape diamond in the 3 carat range on a yellow gold band. Unfortunately their marriage ended in late 2010 after 2 years together, although by reports the split was relatively amicable.
