Diamonds are one of the most beloved gemstones in the world. If you are looking to invest in diamond jewelry, it is important to understand the 4Cs. They include:
• Cut. This is what gives a diamond its brilliant beauty. It is measured through grading system that determines the visual effects of the dimensions. To be on the safe side, it’s better to opt for a solitaire diamond jewellery as the GIA grading gives guidance. It is based on reflection of light, scattering of light and its sparkle
• Color. The more colorless a diamond is, the better it’s quality. It is measured from D to Z based on its yellow tint. Thus D would be completely colorless and Z lightly colored. For uniformity, it is assessed under controlled lighting as per GIA grading. Keep this in mind when choosing a diamond band wedding ring.
• Clarity. This looks at the diamond’s imperfections. It is also based on the GIA grading system. These are imperfections formed during its formation under pressure and heat. It ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I). If they internal, they are called inclusions and those external are blemishes. A great jeweler can help you find imperfect solitaire diamond jewellery that still looks great.
• Carat. It measures the standard weight of diamonds. It has some correlation to the size and density of the stone. If you want a high quality diamond band wedding ring at an affordable price, consider how carat options that look bigger. For example, emerald cuts look bigger than cushion cuts which look bigger than round cuts.
