I want to purchase a diamond jewelry, can anyone let me know how to choose diamonds?
Here are a few things to remember:
- The Four “C”s to diamonds:
(C)arat: The weight ( not the size ) of the stone(s)
(C)ut: Not necessarily the shape but how well the facets are along witht he symmetry and polish.
(C)olor: Most diamonds have a “yellow” tinge. Lack of this is what is called ideal color…goes on a scale from (D-Z) D being best.
(C)larity: The lack of presence of inclusions in the stone based on 10x magnification
These aspects are important in purchasing a solitaire. ( bigger single stone diamond ring )
Pricing is based on the aspects mentioned above. But remember, they are all graded under 10x magnification. The Naked eye is a different story. This can save you a few dollars.
Also, “key weights” can drive up pricing. Example: a 1.00ct stone will demand a Much higher price than a stone that’s .98ct, however visually, they’ll both look the same becasue it is weight…not size.
cut, color, clarity, carat, CONFLICT FREE!
