Being the most beautiful and durable, diamond has been used as the traditional choice for engagement rings. In order to choose the best and right 5 carat diamond ring, and before going for the million dollar engagement rings, you need to understand the available options with regard to shapes, size, clarity, quality, prize and color.
  
Below is a guide on how to go about it:
 
Cut: The cut affects the brilliance, fire and scintillation of the diamond and is the most important quality characteristic consideration when buying the most expensive jewelry. Dull and lifeless diamonds have poor workmanship and cut. You might also want to go for round brilliant diamonds whose cut is easier to get when compared to other shapes since it is formally graded by independent laboratories. Cut grades are both subjective and arbitrary: it is recommended that you choose very good, ideal or super ideal (also known as hearts and arrows) round brilliant diamond engagement rings. You can maximize the beauty for a given carat weight by going for a high cut grade diamond such as a 5 carat diamond ring.
 
Those graded as “excellent” or “ideal” for cut, polish and symmetry on their certificates also carry a “hearts and arrows” facet pattern. They also have the most desirable girdle and culet dimensions and are set to return maximum possible light.
  
Size: The size and quality of the gem are two most important characteristics you should not ignore when buying million dollar engagement rings, most expensive jewelry. You should weigh your size and quality needs based on your budget although many start by identifying what size is needed since it is the visible aspect. Although the carat is a unit of weight, you can use it to assess the size of a diamond. The other way to find the right fit is considering measurements of diamond. These vary from 4.1 mm in diameter to 8.1 mm.
  
Diamond come from a variety of locations: Canada, Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Russia. It is advisable to go for one that has an independent grading certificate from a recognized gemological laboratory. This will mean you are sure of the quality you pay for. Again, evaluations from some laboratories are more lenient than others hence you should also acquaint yourself with which lab has certified the diamond. For instance, the European Gemological Laboratory evaluations are more lenient.
  
Color: Different people observe and value color differently. However, colorless and white million dollar engagement rings are preferred by many people. It is alright to go for a color that is hard to detect with untrained eye. The common color grade selection is F-H color.
  
Clarity: This is the character you ought to determine as the last because it has the least impact on the appearance of the most expensive jewelry. If clarity is most important, go for the “IF” or “VVS” clarity grades. Center diamond of clarity grades “VS2” or “SI1” are also chosen for engagement rings while the “SI2” or “SI1” have visible inclusions.
 
If unsure of the quality, size, color and other characteristics, you can ask from your online sellers before purchasing.
