Giving her a crappy diamond can be one of the biggest proposal mistakes, so don’t do it.

Diamond Clarity

In most cases, there is nothing that can be done about flaws or inclusions, although in recent years lasers have been used to enhance some inclusions or fractures in diamonds by filling them in, much the way small dings in a windshield are filled in. This does improve diamond clarity.

Certainly the most highly valued diamonds are those that are flawless – FL – or internally flawless – IF. But excellent values can be obtained at the VVS and VS grades, as these are flaws not visible to the naked eye, but only to an experienced grader under magnification.

In fact, ‘embarrassing but funny’ proposals like these remind me of the 5 ways that guys totally screw up this most memorable and precious moment for women by making huge and stupid marriage proposal mistakes.
