Deciding on the type of engagement ring to get can be a huge decision. There are a lot of factors to consider as to which ring you would want to get. While you are sure that you would want a diamond ring, you might also want to know which size of diamond would you want on the bride's finger.

When getting an engagement ring, size matters. There are several reasons why couples would get a bigger stone. Rare Carat is the best website where you can get any size, color, and cut of diamond you would want for your engagement ring. They offer the best prices for a lab-grown and natural diamond. Rare Carat does not shy away from the type of diamond you are looking for. Whether you want a bigger stone for the bride or you want something smaller but of better quality. Rarecarat.com is the place to find out the best 2 carat diamond price.

Why choose a 4-carat diamond from Rare Carat?

Rare Carat has a diamond for every budget, and for every size. Prices may start at as low as USD 19, 000 for natural and USD 6, 000 for lab-grown. When you visit the website, you can choose all kinds of cuts for the 4-carat diamond you would want for your engagement ring. You also have options for color, clarity cut, and price. Setting all these base on your expectations will be easier for you to choose the diamond of your dreams.

Choosing the 4-carat diamond means that you are choosing a midsize stone for your engagement ring. A 4-carat diamond is not too big and not too small so it is a good size for an engagement ring. It will still boast that you are engaged but does not break the bank. When a newly engaged couple announced their engagement, people would want to see the ring. They would not be bothered by another attribute of the stone.

The bigger the stone, the more bragging rights you have. Rare Carat has natural and lab-grown diamonds. You will have an option on the type that you would want around your fingers. Rare Carat made sure that it is easier to choose which 4-carat diamond you want. Even the height and the angle could be specified.

It is inevitable for some to find that the price of a 4-carat diamond would be expensive. Although the prices in Rare Carat are the best in the market, some couples might be looking for a cheaper diamond ring and would opt for quality over the carat of the stone. While you can still get the best quality while choosing a 4-carat diamond, with a limited budget, you might prefer to choose a 3-carat or 2-carat diamond ring.

Choosing the quality of the diamond ring

Some would choose a diamond with higher clarity but a lower carat or choose another attribute of the diamond than choosing a carat. For those looking for how much a 3-carat diamond ring is, visit Rare Carat and you can choose from plenty of options. Since you want to choose a smaller size diamond but better quality, you can use their filters to choose the type of diamond you want.

While the size of the diamond matters, the quality of the diamond is what will define it in the years to come. Engagement rings are a great investment. It could last for generations if taken care of. Diamonds, being the hardest mineral will last forever. However, there are attributes in a diamond ring that could make its value higher.

When choosing a lower-carat diamond, make sure that these will be of higher value in the years to come. These should be pieces that can be sold or can be passed on to the next generation. We had seen engagement rings passed down from great-grandmothers down to their favourite grandson and later that ring could still be passed to their children. That is why the quality of diamonds should matter.

You would want your children to receive a ring that still shines under the sun. You also want a ring that has a design that does not go obsolete. That is why choosing the shape of the diamond ring matters. You would want a cut that, in case your children would decide to mount it to a different metal would still look beautiful.

Carat vs Quality

There are a lot of reasons for choosing the type of diamond you would want for your engagement. You might want different shapes or colors in one ring or you just want to have one giant stone to announce to the whole world that you are engaged. Regardless of the reason you have for getting the stone, you have to consider other factors.

You can opt for a bigger stone or you can choose smaller stones. Some smaller stones can still be more expensive that the bigger stone especially if you are after quality. What you want and what you need in an engagement ring will matter when you are deciding whether you want a bigger carat or you prefer the smaller carat but with better quality. You do not have to worry about what you want. You can visit Rare Carat and see the options that you have.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
