How to Buy Diamonds for Your LoveDiamonds

Diamond Cut

Cut is an important factor when buying diamonds. The more professional the cut, the more brilliance your diamond will have.

Diamond Clarity

Most diamonds suffer some inner flaws during the formation process. The visibility, number and size of these flaws determine what is called the clarity of a diamond. Diamonds that are clear create more brilliance, and thus are more highly prized, and priced.

Diamond Colour

Colourless diamonds are the most desirable since they allow the most refraction of light (sparkle).

Carat Weight

A carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured. Because large diamonds are found less commonly than small diamonds, the price of a diamond rises with its size.

Certificates

The diamond certificate, which is sometimes called a grading report, is a complete evaluation of the diamond that has been performed by a qualified professional with the help of special gemological instruments. Each stone bears its own recognizable, individual characteristics, which is listed on the certificate.
