The Perfect Diamonds For Engagement Rings & Jewellery
How The Cut Of Diamonds Makes A Difference
Cut is what gives a diamond its brilliance. The cut of a diamond determines how well the diamond shines. You can tell a diamond is well cut by the proportions of the stone: whether the diamond is too shallow, too deep, or just right. But fine cutting is not just a matter of proportion. To be well cut, a diamond must have the right proportions, precise symmetry, and a fine polish. Diamond dealers refer to this as "make," and it is the only thing about a diamond's quality that can be controlled by man. A stone with fine make has been carefully fashioned by the cutter to maximize its potential. Read more about how the cut of a diamond affects the type of ring or jewellery produced.
Beautiful Jewellery Depends On The Clarity Of The Diamonds
Diamond grades range from FI which is a flawless diamond, then IF which represents an internally flawless diamond, all the way to I-1, I-2, I-3 which are imperfect diamonds. The grading of the clarity will obviously affect the price of a diamond so it’s important to understand the grading so you get what you pay for. Click here to read more about diamond clarity here.
Colour Of The Diamonds
The Colours of diamonds can vary greatly. Diamonds colours can range from red, green, purple, all the way to black! The brightly coloured diamonds are often called "fancy Colour." The colour of a diamond is determined by which trace elements are to be found within the diamond and how they originated. The most valuable diamonds are those with no colour in them. Diamonds like this are very rare, though. The most commonly found diamonds are those with a slight to obvious yellow tint in them. A colour-less diamond is more valuable because it reflects 100% of the light back through the diamond. Read more about the colour of a diamond here.
Diamond Carats
A diamond's weight in carats is another measure of its value. Diamonds are among the rarest of materials in the world. The size of a diamond is measured in its carat weight. Diamond weight may sometimes be expressed in points or in carats: a "75 point diamond" weighs 3/4 of a carat.<br>
Large diamonds are much harder to come by so they are highly prized because of their rarity and because larger diamonds, when cut, have more sparkle.
Carat for carat, a large diamond will cost more than a smaller one. Click here to learn more about the carat of a diamond.
