The Four "C" of diamond value

Know your carat

carat is one of '4 C 'used to evaluate diamonds and is therefore one of the most important factors in determining the price of a diamond. The term is derived carob seeds used to balance scales in ancient times because of their uniformity of weight and shape.

The system carats is used to express the weight of a diamond and many other gemstones. One carat equals 200 milligrams (0.2 grams). There 142 carats per ounce. Carats are divided into "points" with one carat equals 100 points.

Please note that "Carats" are different "carats. Considering that the term" carat "refers to the diamonds weighing system, the term" karat " refers to the system for measuring the purity of gold.

How different carat weight "measure up"

When it comes to jewelry, carat is extremely important because it determines the size and appearance of your ring, earrings and other pieces. The tool below shows that the diamonds of different sizes to look like jewelry, and look how these different dimensions in relation to another. Please note that the differences in size diamond not always seem in proportion to the naked eye, a 2-carat diamond does not appear to be twice size of a one carat diamond.

Please Note: Each loop represents half the total carat weight. For For example, in a pair of earrings 1-carat total diamond weight, each earring holds a 0.50 ct stone.

Carat Weight Discs diamond prices

Diamonds are formed in very rare circumstances, are often very difficult to mine, and are usually found in relatively small quantities. This is one of the main reasons why they are so precious. Large enterprises diamonds are rarer still, making worth significantly more than small-sized diamonds in most cases. For example, a 2-carat diamond is always worth more than two 1-carat diamond or equal quality similar. Similarly, a 1-carat diamond will cost much more than a pointer 95 (0.95 carats) of equal or similar – although the two stones are very similar size. In general, the larger the diamond, the higher the price.

The exceptions to this rule is when the other factors diamonds such as clarity, color and cuts come in. These factors can have a significant impact on the price of a diamond – for example, it is quite possible for a small stone of exceptional quality at a value greater than a larger stone than average quality.

The most difficult challenge for a tailor diamond is to preserve the greatest possible weight of the original rough diamond and still produce a stone finish with the best possible quality in terms of clarity, color and cut. At The Diamond Stud Source, we use only the best tailors many years of experience and expertise in the preservation the beauty of a diamond while maintaining its size and value. This ensures that any diamond you choose will represent the highest quality stone, and the largest carat

How to choose the right weight

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding what size diamond purchase, including the quality, style, body type, establishment and budget.

If you prefer styles of diamonds, but more they have a limited budget, you can get a larger diamond look a little further down the quality scale on the clarity, color or cut.

Keep in mind that the more the person, more the diamond will appear, and vice versa. A diamond ring, 1 carat earrings or posts will not be the same appearance on a larger carrier since it would be a small shareholder.

Setting the style can also be very important, especially if you are trying to match a diamond to a setting. Make sure the setting you choose is made to fit the carat of your diamond.

Why is cut Important?

As one of the "4C" to judge the quality of the diamond cut is extremely important in determining the value of a diamond and the price. However, it is probably the least understood of the 4 Cs. What exactly is "cut?"

Cut refers to the ability of the diamond cutter in unlocking the beauty of a diamond in the cutting and polishing process. Although nature determines the color and clarity a diamond cutting is a human factor that influences the quality of a diamond and value. Even if a diamond is color and clarity, a poor cut it to lose its luster and fire.

A cutting score, a number of factors are considered, including the execution the overall design of the diamond, the jurisdiction in which it was cut, the quality of its polish, its roundness, depth, width, and uniformity of its facets.

A diamond is cut according to an exact mathematical formula. The most common cut, the round brilliant has 58 facets – small, flat, polished planes designed to produce the maximum amount of light is reflected towards the viewer. This reflection, known as brilliance, gives a diamond its brilliance without and such fire.

proportions of a diamond – especially its depth compared to its diameter and the diameter of the table (the highest facet and most important diamond) to determine light travel in the diamond and the eye.

A well-cut diamond has the right angle and proportions to release the brilliance within the stone and the draft of its maximum brightness and fire. A poorly cut diamond – one who is cut too deeply or too low – is losing the light and becomes a "dull" diamond that may even have some "dead" spots inside.

Two key brilliance of a diamond are the crown and pavilion. The crown is the top of a diamond that extends from the belt (the outermost edge of a cut gem) to the table. The pavilion is part of the diamond below the belt. Above the waist with a round brilliant cut diamonds 32 facets are the table. Below the belt are 24 facets plus the culet, or point. Just a few degrees off the norm can have a dramatic impact on a splinter diamond. However, cutting can compensate by adjusting the angles of the Crown, the table sizes and angles pavilion produce the best results possible for each diamond.

A Diamond Stud Source, we check all the diamonds we sell the quality of its cut. Our diamonds are all "very good" or excellent to do – which means they offer excellent brightness, quality and value.

Color

The Importance of Color Diamond

Well that most diamonds may appear to be clear for the layman, it's true colorless diamonds are extremely rare and highly prized. The color can hinder passage of light through a diamond, reducing its brilliance and fire spectacular. Even a slight tinge of yellow or brown could have a dramatic impact on the value of a diamond. To determine the presence or absence of "color" in a white diamond is one of the famous 4 C's, or main indicators of the quality of a diamond. In general, the white stone, the greater its value.

More Diamonds are graded on a scale of professional-quality color that starts with "D" for colorless and continues all along the "Z", with a yellow or brown a stone more and more visible as you move down the ladder.

D: Absolutely colorless - The color of higher rank, which is extremely rare.

E: Colorless – minute traces of color that can be detected by an expert gemologist. Also a very rare diamond.

F: Colorless – light color, which can be detected by an expert gemologist, but still considered a "colorless" grade. A diamond of high quality.

IM Near colorless – Color significant compared to diamonds of better grades, but these classes offer an excellent report.

JK: Close colorless – slightly detectable color. An excellent value for the color of these diamonds gives them a slightly noticeable to the eye naked compared to diamonds of the best color grade.

LM: A little color - color slightly detectable. Excellent value for the color of these diamonds gives them slightly noticeable tint to the naked eye compared to diamonds of better color grades.

What color to choose?

Diamonds in the lowest range of colors, can be very nice, seems colorless and display impressive sparkle and fire with the proper cut, clarity and high in jewelry right. Diamonds of color with lower levels also represent a significant value on stones with little or no hint of color. In fact, many people prefer the warm glow of colored diamonds with lower grades. Most people buy a diamond with the best color quality they can afford, while taking into account the other "3 Cs" of the quality of the diamond: carat, clarity and cut.

A word on the fluorescence

Fluorescence is the reaction of some diamonds exposed to UV light. Fluorescence makes some diamonds appear to be clear and some cloudy yellow colored diamonds seem clear under UV light. Under normal light, the fluorescence is not detectable. Even trained gemologists can not always agree on the effects of fluorescence. Therefore, whether or not a fluorescent displays diamond is of only minor importance in the purchase decision Most buyers of diamonds.

The importance of clarity of diamonds

Clarity is one of the key indicators of quality a diamond – and therefore its value. The clarity is so important, it is one of the 4 Cs used to evaluate a diamond. Clarity refers the presence of a surface or internal marks, also known defects in a diamond caused during its formation deep in the earth or in the process cutting.
When these marks occur on the surface of the diamond they are known as blemishes. When they occur internally, they are inclusions called. These issues can take the form of scratches, chips, lines cavities stress or fractures, crystals or bubbles in the diamonds, and other imperfections.

All diamonds have flaws. Since no two diamonds have the same defects, these brands provide each diamond with a "footprint Digital "that gemologists can use to identify it.

Blemishes and inclusions can interfere with the passage of light through a diamond, which reduces its magnificent brilliance and fire. In diamond the rarest and most expensive brands are too small to see, even under magnification. The general the clarity grading is as follows: lower (and) defects and inclusions, the rarer and more precious diamond.

How Diamonds Are Graded For more clarity?

Diamonds are classified by clarity by trained gemologists under a microscope with magnification 10x. Clarity grades are based on the size, number and position of flaws in a diamond. The diamonds seem to be completely free of any surface or internal defects under 10x magnification receive higher grades of clarity "Flawless" (FL) or "internal Flawless (IF), according to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) scale Rating clarity. At the other end of the spectrum, with large diamonds and / or numerous inclusions and flaws visible to the naked eye fall under one of the "included" grades (I1, I2 or I3) under the GIA clarity grading scale.

FL (Flawless) – No surface defects or inclusions visible to the trained eye under 10x magnification. An exceptionally rare, beautiful diamond and valuable.

IF (Internally Flawless) – No internal inclusions and only minor surface imperfections highly visible to a trained eye under 10x magnification. A very rare, beautiful and valuable diamond.

VVS1 – VVS2 (Very Very Slightly included) – Not even tiny inclusions and / or surface defects difficult for a trained eye to see under 10x magnification. Excellent quality, beautiful diamond

VS1 – VS2 (Very Slightly Included) - Very small inclusions and / or defects the surface is visible to a trained eye under 10x magnification. High quality, beautiful diamonds.

SI1 - SI2 (Slightly Included) – Inclusions and / or surface imperfections easily visible under 10x magnification, but very difficult to see with the naked eye. A good quality, good diamond.

I1 (Includes 1) - Inclusions and / or surface defects visible under 10x magnification, and generally visible to the naked eye. little effect on brilliance of a diamond

I2 (Includes 2) – and more inclusions and / or surface defects visible to the naked eye. Some diamond brightness decreases.

I3 (Includes 3) – Many large inclusions of same and / or surface flaws easily visible to the naked eye. Substantial decreases in diamond brilliance. Rarely used for jewelry

Choosing the "right" purity

purity of a diamond has a significant impact on its price. IF (Internally Flawless) and F ("Flawless") diamonds are more rare and show no defects that would diminish their luster – And therefore, they are regarded as exceptionally beautiful and can reach prices much. However, the diamond should not be flawless to be beautiful. Diamonds in VPC and VS beaches are beautiful, rare stones that do not show visible defects and represent significant savings on FI and F diamonds. Diamonds in IS offer a more cost savings, and many do not have defects visible to the naked eye. Even stones I1 show no defects visible to the naked eye that would harm their brilliance or beauty. In deciding what level of clarity to the purchase, you must consider your budget, and weigh the importance of other elements of the "4 Cs (carat weight, color and cut) are yours. Clearly you want to buy the best quality diamond you can afford.

Diamond Stud Source recommends that, in terms of clarity, the purchase of a look "clean" diamond – one without surface defects or inclusions visible to the naked eye piece of stone or decrease your beauty.

According to the Promotion Service Diamond, over 75% of all diamonds sold are round. The reason is that many experts consider around the "ideal" shape for a diamond because it maximizes brightness a stone. However, non-round diamond, called fancy shapes, are beautiful in themselves – and they allow the user to express their unique style and personality.

Round Brilliant – A 58-faceted shape with a facet arrangement that seems to radiate from the center of the diamond toward its outer edge, maximizing its brilliance. The round brilliant diamond is timeless, the classic form that is suitable for any outfit and any occasion.
