In buying diamonds for the girl you are courting, you must know that diamonds are graded using the four C which stand for Clarity, Color, Cut and Carat weight.

Carat refers to the size and weight of the diamond. Knowing this information will help you choose a nice diamond to give your girl. Also, if the girl is with you during the purchase, she will be impressed that you appear to be knowledgeable about diamonds.

If you have ever looked into ordering custom glasses you will find that there are so many charges. You can just get 2 champagne glasses or 5 mugs. You have to order a minimum quantity, usually 50 or more. Then you pay an extra fee to have your design created and made into a stencil. The company you purchase from then wants to hold you to a exclusive contract for providing those items. You do not get to keep the stencil you paid for; They keep it under lock and key. If you ever want to get more items engraved with that stencil you are stuck going through that company and paying whatever they want to charge or you have to pay another company to make a new stencil. Yikes!
