slide 1: Research Before Buying Diamonds
Diamonds are one of the most precious things you can buy that can add a touch of timeless
elegance to any outfit and enhance the mood of a celebration. Moreover this precious stone
can be handed down through generations without going out of style. Thus when you invest in
diamonds or diamond jewellery you would want to buy one that is pure genuine and valuable.
It should be a bright lustrous diamond that can grab eyeballs. But to be able to buy the best
diamonds you will want to know that you are buying what you should. And this can only be
possible when you have knowledge and experience about understanding all the aspects of a
diamond.
The cut
The cut determines the way in which the gems are shaped like princess cut pear cut oval cut
round brilliant and more. When the diamonds are mined they are dull and rock-like which are
cut into the required shape to define their shine and brilliance. However if the diamond in not
cut properly it will not exhibit the same luminosity. Diamonds that are cut should reflect light
all over creating an eye-catching sparkle only then can they be said to be cut properly. It is this
cut that makes a difference in the price of the diamonds. The more intricate the cut is the
higher its price will be.
The colour
While you may love coloured diamonds it is the clear white diamonds that are the most
valuable. White diamonds appear completely colourless with no inclusions and this is what
makes them expensive. Other coloured options in diamonds include pink blue green orange

are also very striking and raise the price of the diamond.
The clarity
Clarity just as the term says determines how clear the diamond is. And this clarity depends
upon the existence or non-existence of any internal features inclusions and surface defects.
Although it is impossible to find a flawless diamond as they come from nature but good quality
diamonds have comparatively lesser flaws than others. And the clearer the diamond the more
valuable it is. The flaws in the best quality diamond are only microscopic thus diamonds that
have flaws visible to the naked eye shouldn’t be purchased as they are definitely not of good
quality.
The carat
Carat determines the weight of a diamond. One carat is equal to 200 mg. The more carats a
diamond had the more expensive it is. Till date the world’s largest diamond found is the
Cullian Diamond that weighs 3106.75 carats. But the world’s largest wearable diamond is the
Golden Jubilee diamond with an estimated weight of 545.67 carats. Obviously none of us can
afford that diamond so you should always decide on the diamond your pocket can allow you to
buy. Budget conscious buyers can also opt for smaller diamonds clustered together to offer the
appearance of a larger diamond.
Along with the diamond you are buying you also need to decide on the type of metal you want
your diamond to be held in. You may choose from gold white gold rose gold silver platinum
or palladium. You can also decide on the design the setting and every other facet that you may
require for your diamond ring diamond pendant diamond earrings diamond bracelet
diamond bangles or anything else. With all this in mind you can have your jewellery designed
