How Much Does Owning a Boat Really Cost?
If you are looking at rings you have probably discussed marriage with your girlfriend and there are a few things that you need to ask. The first of which is what role will she play in purchasing the ring. The classic mentality is the man going out and purchasing a ring on his own to propose with. However your girl may want to take a greater part which ranges from going with you to stores to giving you pointers on the ring. Whatever the situation may be, make sure to ask her before you begin looking.
If you are looking for a diamond beautiful to the naked eye (doubtful that your girlfriend will whip out a scope to inspect it) you should look for a diamond D-H. Colorless diamonds (D,E,F) are very high quality but also come with a very large price tag. G and H graded diamonds contain so little color that is barely noticeable to the naked eye. I and J graded diamonds have a slight amount of color that is noticeable to the naked eye. Anything beyond J should probably be avoided as there will be noticeable color especially in smaller diamonds.
Boating is one of the best of these opportunities, with a boat, you will have the chance to learn many different recreational activities. From merely driving the boat to tubing, water skiing, and knee boarding, boat ownership can open up a whole world of opportunity that can improve life for your entire family and increase the enjoyment you get from a weekend on the lake.
Before you hit the streets jump onto your computer. The internet makes this process ten times easier than it otherwise would be. First make a list of all the diamond stores in your area along with the urls for each. I did this on an excel sheet. Visit each online store to look at the inventory that they have along with the prices. If they do not meet your needs drop them off the list. As a side note, many stores will have more inventory online than in their physical store. If they have warranty information about their rings read through these making sure they include what you want, free 6-month cleanings/inspections and yearly rhodium dips are generally standard.
The cut of the stone is crucial to the stone's beauty and sparkle. While diamonds do come in different shapes the cut refers to the workmanship of cutting the diamond to allow the diamond facets to interact with light. Different jewelers may use their own grading system to measure the quality of cut but there are different proportions of a diamond's cut. While it is not necessary to go into every portion of a diamond cut it is important to understand the three effects the cut may have on light. The cut will determine the proportions of the diamond.
One of the costs you will need to take into account as you consider purchasing a boat is insurance. Insuring a boat can be expensive and is a cost that will persist for as long as you have your boat, so make sure to keep this cost in mind as you decide whether or not you should purchase a boat. So much like auto insurance in long beach, you will also need to work on finding the right insurance for your boat.
Don't make any promises but show interest in the rings. Remember not to let the sale rep waste your time since you have a lot of stores to check with. Repeat this same process with all of the stores, collecting information, and then head home.
I have listed no prices in each of the 4C's because of variability. Your diamond price will change depending on the grades you select for each of the 4 C's. Determine what is most important to you and make sacrifices accordingly. If you want a beautiful diamond you may end up choosing something small. If size matters remember the diamond may not shine as you hoped. The diamond does represent a large investment so look into insuring the diamond at the jeweler or including it as part of your home insurance, good hunting!
