Yellow Diamond Engagement Rings – Best Watches For Men

Diamonds - everybody wants one. They are treasured, they are common but not too common. They always add sparkle into anyone's life. Diamonds will always be in fashion no matter what else comes and goes.

It seems, that our most important moments in life - anniversaries, engagements, weddings, birthdays are all just a little more special when celebrated with a diamond or two. And we want that diamond to be as near colorless as possible.

But wait - yellow diamond engagement rings are in the news. Paris Hilton sported a yellow diamond engagement ring worth a cool five thousand dollars and looked stunning wearing those 24 carats on her finger.

According to Ross-Simons Jewelers, color diamonds and especially yellow diamonds are right up there when talking about precious diamonds.

Wearing a yellow diamond engagement ring will set you apart from other women. Even those wearing other colored diamonds. That is because they are so rare. It is estimated that less than three percent of the mined diamonds are considered to be fancy yellow. Wearing one makes a statement - no doubt about it.

Graded from fancy light to fancy yellow to fancy intense and finally to the top grade - vivid. Vivid is the most rare of diamonds and some would say, worth every penny - not that many of us can afford them.

Yellow diamonds perhaps more than other can be irrepairably spoiled with poor cutting. It can take a skilled diamond cutter up to two weeks to cut and polish a two carat yellow diamond.

Just in case you find yourself with a few extra thousands of dollars, here are a few tips for when you purchase a yellow diamond engagement ring.

First and foremost, make sure the diamond is certified. The certificate must say 'natural' otherwise you are probably buying a diamond that has been treated to bring out a yellow color that probably wasn't naturally there.

Second, look for an intensity of color - on the certificate it should say even. This is a guarantee that the stone color is even throughout and signifies a higher quality diamond.

And finally stick to simple accessory jewelry. Some of the best watches for men are those with a plain gold setting.
