When you and your fiancé are shopping for the perfect engagement ring, remember these "4 C's" courtesy of Nellie Boone from Boone & Sons Jewelers.

Carat (weight): Diamonds are weighted in carats and increments of a carat that are called points. One hundred points are equivalent to one carat. The larger the diamond, the more rare and valuable it is.

Color: Diamonds range from colorless, the most valuable, through rare "fancy" colors of yellow, pink, blue, green and others. All diamonds graded D-F are considered "colorless". Diamonds G-J are considered nearly colorless.

Clarity: This is the degree to which a diamond is free from inclusions, characteristics showing that the diamond is of natural origin. A flawless diamond is very rare and therefore more valuable. The physical size, quantity, location, type and color of inclusions within the diamond are what separate each grade.

Cut: This is the physical shape of the diamond and how well it is proportioned. A well-proportioned diamond allows the greatest fire and brilliance.
