We know you’re here because you only want the best and we would love to help you find the perfect diamond for you. We also know that buying diamonds can be a little overwhelming, but that doesn’t mean that you should ever settle or stress! So just sit back with a cup of coffee and let us walk you through everything you need to know before you buy that sparkling diamond!
Diamond cut is the summary of a diamond's proportions evaluated using the attributes of brilliance, fire, and sparkle. While high marks of color or clarity affect a diamond, it's the cut that defines its proportions and ability to reflect light.
Clarity is one of the 4Cs of diamond classification. It is a measure of the extent to which a diamond contains internal (inclusions) or surface (blemishes) flaws. Each inclusion or blemish will detract from the brilliance of a polished diamond. The flaw will interfere with the refraction of light as it travels through the diamond.
Ironically, the best color for a diamond would be ‘colorless’. The colors range from D (colorless) and go all the way to Z (light yellow). To be honest, the color difference in diamonds within a color family is quite subtle to an untrained eye.
A diamond’s carat weight is very important and as you browse diamonds, you might notice a few other words, such as size and points, which are closely related to a diamond’s carats.
