The 4 C's of choosing your sparkler

Diamonds are often referred to as "sparklers" because of their shine.  There are so many choices and things to consider when choosing a diamond ring, but I bet you didn't know that the 4 C's are also just as important when selecting your sparklers!

CUT - The cut of a diamond allows it to make the best use of light.  When selecting a sparkler, choosing the cut, or shape, is also just as important.  Going with the traditional sparkler, you can't go wrong with its beauty.  But the heart shaped sparklers are very unique and will provide something special to the wedding.  Whatever shape you choose, the right sparkler will add pizazz to your celebration.

COLOR - Not only do diamonds range in color, but sparklers do as well.  The most beautiful sparklers are the gold, metallic sparklers.  They provide an elegant hue and make stunningly gorgeous photos and provide lasting memories.  The gold color shows up in pictures beautifully!



CLARITY - Diamonds with fewer inclusions provide a more beautiful gem!  Sparklers also need to be inclusion free.  A good, quality sparkler is made of wire which will be smoke free and will NOT ash off.  This is very important especially at a wedding.  A bamboo sparkler produces smoke and it will ash off which is very dangerous not only to the bride but to the guests as well.  So be sure to choose a wire sparkler for its clarity as well as for its safety.

WEIGHT - The size of your sparkler is vital to the preparation!  BuySparklers.com offers 3 fabulous sizes to choose from.  The #14 Gold Sparkler burns for 1.5 minutes, the #20 Gold Sparkler burns for 2 minutes and our #36 Sparkler burns for 4 exquisite minutes.  Make sure to take the length of your grand exit in mind when choosing the right length for you.  A longer tunnel will require a longer sparkler so that the bride and groom will have enough time to run through with all the sparklers still lit.

Don't rush into your decision.  Take your time and evaluate your choice carefully.  The choice you make will provide long lasting memories of your special day!
