A
diamond spread is one of the terms many people do not understand. It basically refers to the face-up appearance of the
stone, meaning a
stone with a good spread looks larger than its
carat weight suggests. That said, a flat
stone is definitely not what you want, which is why
the cut of the
stone is very important here.
Most
engagement ring shoppers seek out larger looking
stones, but many fail to find one with the perfect balance of
size and shine. This is one area where a shopper needs to be really careful because if they are not careful, the purchase could end up a disaster. Be sure of
the cut grade, and check out the HD videos they let you watch before buying the
stone. This should give you a good idea about how it would look on your finger.
