If you're looking to delve further into the world of diamond knowledge, you can also check out GIA's website (Gemological Institute of America). GIA is a non-profit company whose goal is to help educate consumers on all-things-diamond.  They are the #1 place in the world for unbiased diamond grading and evaluation--the fact that the engagement ring I purchased came with a GIA certificate went a long way in getting it appraised so high.
