Buying Diamond Ring

Diamonds and diamond jewelry are very costly. People buy them occasionally, so one should plan properly before purchasing a diamond rings according to individual’s choice, need, and budget.

There is a very old tested and proved theory for buying diamonds. We call it, 4C theory (Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity).

Carat – Carat is a unit of weight for precious stones (1 Carat = 200 mg). Carat only deals with the weight of a diamond and has nothing to do with the size. The heavier (in mass) the diamond, the more carat it's got.

Cut - Cut refers to the proportions, symmetry, and finish or make of the diamond. This can affect the price of a diamond by major amounts. Two diamonds with the same carat, color, clarity can have different cost based solely on how its cut. Depending on how a diamond is cut, the eye can perceive it as being larger.

The cut of a Diamond is the only property, which is artificial. Proportions and angles influence the internal reflection of light as well as the dispersion of light leaving the diamond. This determines the brilliance and fire (brightness and sparkle) of the diamond, and ultimately its beauty. How well cut a diamond is will reflect in the price.

Color: Diamond comes in several colors, such as blue, pink, purple, yellow, and red. But the most popular and rare variety of diamond is natural colorless diamond. Most gem quality diamonds fall within a range of color from colorless to yellow. D or colorless diamonds are rare. The color of a diamond is determined on the basis of a visual assessment by comparing it to a set of master diamonds under laboratory conditions. The differences between colors are very subtle and graded according to the International Color Grading Scale.

Clarity: This is the clarity of appearance when you look into a diamond. A flawless diamond will cost more than a similar diamond that is less flawless.

Apart from the theory of 4C, there is one more C-Certification which is very much important. A certificate for any diamond is a report prepared after a complete evaluation by an expert professional.

Happy Buying!!!
