Up until my engagement to Lem, I never really knew what the selection process was to find the perfect diamond for my engagement ring. He was so excited to tell me that it was a VVS1, Color G, 2 carat, 3 stone I-Love-You Setting. He was so proud of himself that he found the perfect diamond during one of his trips to the United States for the christmas holidays last year.

So, what does that exactly mean? For me, the sentimentality of getting an extraordinary ring was enough. Until I started looking around the internet to find out what kind of a gem I actually have. Or realizing what is a good deal in buying Diamonds.

Are all diamonds created equal? What is the importance of clarity, cut, and color? Will the shape and style affect the overall look of the diamond? Abazias Diamonds has a very informative Diamond Education section where you can learn what makes one diamond different from another. Find out what the 4 C's are in diamond selection. These are very important stuff that you need to know before purchasing a diamond.

Abazias Diamonds also features over 80,000 loose diamonds and a wide selection of jewelry at wholesale prices. So, if you are shopping for that perfect engagement ring, that's over 80,000 reasons for her to say yes!

Searching for a diamond on their website is very easy. First you chose the style of the ring - Round, Princess, Oval, Emerald, Marquise, Assher, or Cushion. Then select a diamond price range between $1,000 or less to $100,000 or more. The next step is selecting a diamond carat range from 0.10 carats to 4 carats or more. The website will present you with such a great selection to chose from that you will not be disappointed! You can select by carat, color, clarity, cut, price and certification. If this is not easy enough, you can take their ring builder for a spin. You point, you drag, and they show you the engagement ring that you are looking for.

Now, if Lem only knew that if he went to Abazias Diamonds first he would have cut down his 3- month search for a perfect diamond into 15 minutes, he would have been really annoyed at me. But we are still shopping for wedding rings. And I'm not passing up on the Anniversary Rings either. I'll make sure that I give him this really nice tip.
