How can you tell
if you are getting the finest diamond for your money? Your
diamond's quality depends on the four "C"s, which are Color,
Clarity, Carat Weight, and Cut.
COLOR
Diamonds range in color from colorless to
yellow. Even though most diamonds appear colorless to the
untrained eye, the majority of diamonds contain traces of yellow
or brown. The closer the stone is to colorless, the more
valuable the diamond.
CLARITY
Most diamonds contain very tiny natural
birthmarks known as inclusions. A diamond that is free of
both inclusions and surface blemishes is very rare and therefore
more valuable.
CARAT WEIGHT
This is the weight of the diamond measured
in carats. One carat is divided into 100 "points", so that a
diamond of 75 points weighs 0.75 carats. Carat weight is the
easiest of the 4C's to determine. But two diamonds of equal
weight can have very unequal value, depending on the cut, color
and clarity.
CUT
Cut determines the fire and the brilliance
of the diamond. If the diamond is cut with just the right
proportions and at certain precise angles, the stone's ability to
reflect and refract light will be maximized. When a round
diamond is cut to GORGEOUS proportions, light will bounce freely
within the diamond and reflect back out of the crown without
escaping through the opposite side or the bottom of the stone. |
