Tip of the Day: When shopping for an engagement ring, it's almost impossible to evaluate the clarity and color of a diamond once it's in a ring setting because flaws can be hidden under the prongs. Even the color is often obscured by the reflections from the setting itself. Always ask the jeweler to see the stone loose, with a magnifier to get a close look at the qualities of the stone you're about to buy.
