As diamonds are expensive, you should make sure that you receive the most value for your purchase by knowing more about diamonds before you purchase. Please consider these tips before you go and purchase the diamond jewelry.

The 4 Cs:

The 4Csdiamond quality is a special language experts use worldwide to describe the attributes of these precious stones. When taken together, these attributes will help you to determine the diamond’s overall quality. 

• Carat – The carat weight measures the mass of a diamond. 1 carat of a diamond is approximately equivalent to 200 milligrams.
• Clarity – As diamonds are created by nature under tremendous heat and pressure, almost all diamonds contain certain unique internal characteristics called inclusions and external characteristics called blemishes. Most of the clarity characteristics are so tiny that only a trained gemologist can identify them. Most of the jewelry experts use a clarity scale containing many grades ranging from flawless to included.
• Colour–Colorless diamonds are very rare and highly expensive. In diamonds, color distinctions are quite subtle and they can only be seen to the trained eyes. But the differences can have a great impact on the price.
• Cut–In diamonds, the term ‘cut’ refers to how a diamond’s complex proportions and angles are related to light. There are a lot of factors that can influence a diamond’s cut grade. Like its overall face-up appearance, design, and craftsmanship.
