Diamond wedding rings are no longer just for women. Many grooms today choose to purchase a man's diamond wedding ring to match the bride's. Still others enjoy the social status that comes with wearing a diamond wedding band. Purchasing a diamond wedding ring means that the groom must consider not only the material and design of the ring, but also the quality of the diamonds.

Although often not considered to be as important as the diamonds in the bride's engagement and wedding rings, the groom's diamonds should also be purchased with care. The man should take the same "4 Cs" into consideration: carat weight, clarity, color, and cut.

A carat is exactly 200 milligrams, but very few men's bands will sport a diamond of this size. Most bands will instead have several smaller diamonds that may of may not equal one full carat. A full carat is also equal to 100 points, so a jeweler may refer to a ring as having several 10 point diamonds (each of which would be equal to one tenth of a carat).

While the clarity of a diamond is often considered the least important of the 4 Cs, it is still a key consideration in your diamond purchase. The clarity of a diamond measures the number and extent of the flaws in the diamond. For the most part, a more valuable diamond will have fewer flaws. It is extremely rare that you will find a completely flawless diamond; only a couple hundred "FL" diamonds are produced a year. Although there are several grading systems used to determine a diamond's clarity, the Gemological Institute of America's (GIA) score is by far the most popular. It ranks diamonds as Flawless (FL), Internally Flawless (IF), Very Very Slightly Included (VVS), Very Slightly Included (VS), Slightly Included (SI), and Included (I). (Note: “inclusions” are slight specks, cracks, or other flaws in a diamond). These ranks are not subjective; the scale has extremely specific criteria that are used to differentiate between the grades.

The color of the stone, referring to how yellow the stone is, can also be graded on a GIA scale. An ideal diamond is completely colorless, being ranked as a D. The alphabetical scale ranks nearly colorless stones as I and J , increasingly yellow beginning with M/N, and a Z is a completely yellow stone. The average color for engagement diamonds in the United States is G to H.

The cut of a diamond is possibly the most confusing of the "4 Cs," since it can refer to the cutting style, the shape of the stone (round, square, heart-shaped, etc), its proportions, or the workmanship and the diamond-cutting process. The brilliant round cut is the most common cut for diamond engagement rings and wedding bands.

Introduction:

Music is an important and indespensible part of any function including weddings. A DJ can make or break a wedding. A DJ who knows his tuff can make what would otherwise be a mediocre wedding, into a brilliant success.

It is important therefore to put a little thought and care into hiring a DJ. Following are somethings you must consider when hiring a DJ.

This article breaks down into three major areas. The DJ and his professional experience, the equipment, the contract and cost.

Hope you find this article informative.

1. Hire the DJ not the company

Though chances are that you will hire a company for your DJ, the truth is that you will be dealing with the DJ and not the company during your wedding party. It therefore makes good sense to get to know your DJ before the party. Be sure to get a written understanding of whom your DJ will be. If possible, meet with him or her right from the go.

2. Get to know your DJ

Do not be afraid to ask your DJ about his experience organizing and playing weddings. Remember, it is your wedding party and not his and to get the kind of wedding you want, the DJ must be willign to listen to your input. Find out how much experience your DJ has and whether or not he knows how to organize wedding receptions.

3. Being a DJ is more than spinning records

A good DJ is a lot more than a record spinner, anyone can do just that. Being a good DJ includes getting the people invloved. It means getting the people off their seats and onto the dancing floor. How will your DJ do that? Find out.

4. What is the dress code?

Be sure your DJ understands the dress code for the occassion. Weddings are a formal occassion and require formal dressing. Your DJ should dress in a way that is appropriate and beffitting for the occassion.

5. Is there a contract?

It is always better to have a contract that spells out the terms of the engagement, such as the fees. Will there be an extra charge if the function goes into overtime? Who pays for transportation? Also your contract should show date, time and place of event and pertinent contact information such as telephone numbers.

6. There are djs and there are DJs, get a professional breed.

Some DJ companies are more equal than the others. How do you know? Here are some pointer. What is there affiliation(s)? Ask if they belong to ADJA or any of the other membership organizations? Are they insured?

7. Your function will sound as good as the equipment

Quality equipment will always produce quality sound and sound effects. Do not settle for anything less than the best. Some of the best brand names include Denon, Gemini, QSC, and Crown. Ask your DJ what brand his equipment is.

Also be sure that the DJ brings along a backup system. Failures do happen when lest expected and you want to be ready when they happen.

8. Encourage your DJ to bring a wide variety of song selections. Do not try to limit them with a list. It is best to have songs that will sweep the people off their seats and on to the dancing floor. The more, the merrier.
