Diamond Buying Insights From Our Diamond Buyer: A diamond grading certificate explains the specifics of a diamond but not its overall beauty. A diamond certificate should be used as a guide or tool to help narrow down your search. Actually seeing a diamond is the only way to confirm its true beauty and value.

Have you ever done a diamond search online and wondered why a diamond with the same 4 C’s has such a large range in price? It’s because diamonds are valued by how beautiful they are in-person, not just by what the certificate says.

Not all diamonds are created equal! Clarity is determined by the size, color, location and type of inclusion in a diamond. Higher spectrum grades are now more desirable and thus more expensive. At wholesale, there can be as much as a 20% difference within the same clarity grade.

If you are handed a jeweler’s loupe to see the inclusions in a diamond, be very cautious. A diamond should only be viewed under a microscope at 10X magnification with proper lighting. Only a microscope allows you to see the full internal characteristics of a diamond.

The Fifth C…Cost: Since price is always a factor, many retailers will attempt to push lower spectrum diamonds because they appear to be an incredible “deal.” No matter how incredible the deal may seem, you always end up getting what you pay for.

With a shared love of adventure, the west coast and exploring the world, Lyndsie and Jordan knew exactly where they wanted to take their wedding day…to the mountains of Squamish, B.C. Canada. Wanting a small intimate wedding with closest family and friends while honoring the Lord’s day, they were married on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at Sea to Sky Gondola overlooking the magical coastal forest and surrounding mountains. The wedding party arrived three days prior to the big day to enjoy the trails and scenery before dancing the night away to a hand-picked playlist from the bride and groom. A few personal touches included Lyndsie and her father, Paul, dancing to their own rendition of “Here Comes The Sun” by the Beatles, being married by Jordan’s father and Pastor, Jerry Heatherly, and exchanging personal vows on a mountain top. A memory of a lifetime for not only themselves but all their guests as well.

How Millennials Are Changing Weddings

PROVIDED BY JEANDOUSSET.COM

It’s no secret that millennials are choosing to do things differently than generations before them. Their relationships are no exception, as they choose to move in together sooner and get married later than their parents.

When millennials do decide to get married, their weddings look different, too. Gone are the days of religious ceremonies, rice showers, and cans tied to cars, having been replaced by millennials with traditions of their own, such as first looks and sparkler exits. What other wedding traditions are millennials leaving behind? We asked 1,850 newlyweds to find out.

Traditions aren’t the only thing millennials are saying goodbye to. Less than one in five millennial weddings are paid for by the bride’s family – instead, that cost is more often shouldered by the couples themselves. According to respondents, almost half paid for their own wedding, and when they did, they split costs evenly. This includes the wedding dress, which one in four couples bought together.

When receiving financial help from family or splitting costs themselves isn’t feasible, millennials aren’t afraid to turn to others for help: fifteen percent of respondents said they asked for donations to a wedding fund and that on average, thirty percent of guests contributed. In fact, guests donated even more than what respondents said they expected, giving an average of $100 to help bring their dream day to life.

Honeymoon funds are also growing in popularity. When asked, one in five respondents said they asked donations in lieu of gifts. Guests were equally likely to donate to a honeymoon fund as they were to a wedding fund (thirty percent of guests donated), giving an average of $93 each.

Regardless of the traditions, millennials choose to incorporate or leave behind, we can be sure that making the big day their own will make them happiest: ninety-three percent of respondents said it lived up to their expectations.

Methodology Between October 4th and October 9th, 2019, we surveyed 1,850 people who have gotten married within the last five years. Forty percent of the respondents were men, sixty percent were women, and the average age was thirty percent.
