Clarity in a diamond refers to the absence of inclusions and blemishes in a diamond. Diamond clarity is graded on a scale from FL (flawless) to I3 (included 3)
What is an inclusion?
When it comes to diamonds, an inclusion is another name for a flaw. There are several kinds of inclusions, including carbon spots, air bubbles, internal cracks (feather cracks) and white points.
But inclusions aren’t necessarily all bad. For one, since every diamond has different inclusions in different places, inclusions serve as the diamond’s fingerprint. This can come in handy if the diamond is ever stolen because it allows the rightful owner to match the diamonds documentation with the diamond. The diamond’s inclusions should directly correspond to the inclusions mentioned in the diamond’s certification. If they don’t, chances are the documentation is fraudulent or belongs to a different diamond.

How to Propose to your Girl
As hard as it is to understand a woman's heart and mind, so it is hard to prepare for one of the beautiful moments of your life: asking your love to marry you.
Planning Process
When its time to start the planning process you need to take into account these few steps.
What do you both enjoy doing together? Throughout your relationship you've experienced all the things you enjoy doing together or places you both like to visit. All these experiences can give you an excellent start in planning out your proposal. You can get a location, subject or even a full idea just by considering all these places and events you've done together. All people will drop hints at their favorite place, things etc... She might have said to you:
- I love Europe, I love chocolate, White roses are my favorite, I could sit on the beach for days...

Having trouble picking out the perfect ring?
What if she picked out the exact ring she wanted? How's this for the best article of the century? Just let your future wife pick from the internet diamond stores like:
Reeds.com
There are so many online that let you create your own ring. She can pick out all the details and you will know exactly which ring to get!
I believe your future fiancee should know your planning to propose but how you propose should still be a secret. Using this method of picking out the perfect ring she gets exactly what she wants and you don't have to go to the store and try on rings for a day or two. Once you take the time to visit the jewelry store she is going to expect a ring real soon. Using the internet makes it more of a dream and not reality just yet! |

Making your engagement proposal a lasting memory
The traditional "on bended knee" proposal is tame and predictable, most women prefer a more creative marriage proposal. A unique proposal will stay with her forever, and the memory of a traditional one will fade over time. Traditional proposals aren't for everyone. If fact most would agree the engagement must be unique to the couple and to make that event special and memorable you must remember these three key elements: Setting, Ring, and of course the big question. The key to making your engagement memorable is to make one of these three factors a surprise and the more surprises you can throw at her the bigger engagement memory becomes.
Setting: You need to pick a surprise location for the future bride to be. Keeping the setting a surprise will not give her any time to think forward and know what your about to ask her.
Ring: Once you show the ring it becomes the center of attention. If you use a unique ring or keep it in a unique box or location it will add to the element of surprise. Hiding the ring in a box that doesn't look like a ring box.

Asking her father...
Its no longer required to do like it was in the 50s and 60s but most people think it is still a nice gesture and shows your respect to the family.
Step 1: Be prepared!! I can't explain this any clearer. Know as much about the family structure and their beliefs. You don't want to be meeting the father for the first time and not understand who's side of the family Uncle Tom is on. I'm not saying you need to study the family tree but its nice to know as much as you can before you arrive. I know its common sense but you should be as prepared as you can be. You might think you know the father very well but be prepared because if you have a relationship built already he'll probably have plenty of questions for you.
Step 2: Be ready to answer questions about all your personal business: finances, housing, kids,
other future plans that includes his daughter. You might already be "buddies" he might be your hunting buddy or golf buddy but his little girl will always be his little girl be ready to answer serious questions when the time comes. He'll probably be harder on you than if you didn't know him at all. You just need to understand where he stands and treat him with the utmost respect.
Step 3: If at all possible try and include her mother. Like I said before its not the 50s or 60s anymore and her mother will appreciate being part of the event. She'll find out almost immediately from her father so do your best to have a follow-up conversation with your future mother in law. It’s not tradition necessarily but it is a nice gesture and she may have some valuable wisdom about her daughter that Dad might not have known!
