Things to know when buying diamond jewelry

Cutting, clarity, weight, color are factors to evaluate the value of a diamond.

1. Cross section

If the cut is ideal, the light will go straight down to the bottom of the diamond and counter back to the top.

Diamond cutting depends on the light effect created by the facets of the diamond interacting with sunlight both inside and outside. This element creates the sparkle of the diamond.

If the cross-section is too shallow, the light will lose to the bottom, if the cross-section is too deep, the light will lose above. If the cut is ideal, the light will go straight down to the bottom of the diamond and counter back to the top. Diamonds that achieve this element will of course have a high price but deserve it.

2. Clearness

Almost every diamond has imperfections. However, the defects are less and less visible to the naked eye, the more valuable the diamond is. The higher the diamond, the better.

3. Color

Carat is just the weight of the diamond.

For diamonds, the less color, the brighter and the brighter, the higher the value. The higher the color level, the higher the diamond price, the higher the color level is D and descend to Z. The color level D is colorless and the lowest level is light yellow.

4. Carat

Carat is just the weight of the diamond. 1 carat is determined to be about 0.2 grams or 200 milligrams. In addition to carat, the weight of the diamond is also converted into points for diamonds less than 1 carat. By convention 1 carat = 100 points.

To buy quality diamonds, you should choose the ones that are rated and have specific certification. GIA Institute 4 CS standard in the US is a universal standard used to assess the quality and price of diamonds.
