The most common reason most people shop for diamonds is when it is time to buy an engagement ring and wedding bands. While there is no rule that says an engagement ring has to be a diamond, it is the most traditional, and the majority of women site diamonds as their stone of choice. If this is your first time buying diamonds, whether for an engagement ring or just a nice gift like a diamond tennis bracelet or diamond earrings, here are a few things you should know before you start looking.
Those who are more experienced at buying diamonds, or who work in the jewelry market use a simple evaluation to help determine the price of a stone. This evaluation is often referred to as the four C�s. The four C�s stand for, carat, cut, color, and clarity and all have an effect on the final price of any diamond.
Clarity and carat are both an important determining factor in the overall cost of any diamond. If a jeweler tells you that a diamond is lower priced because of the number of inclusions they are referring to small flaws in the diamond. These blemishes can be the result of organic imperfections while the diamond was forming or human error while it was being processed. The presence of these inclusions affects the diamonds clarity rating. The size or weight of the diamond is commonly called the diamonds carat. Diamonds can range anywhere from 0.02 carats to bigger than even 10 carats. If you want a large diamond with excellent clarity you should be prepared to pay a high price.
Many people mistake the next C with the shape of a diamond. A diamonds cut does not refer to the shape of the diamond but rather how the symmetry and other elements of the diamond reflect light. This can also be referred to as the brilliance of the diamond. It is difficult to identify the details that affect the cut quality of a diamond, however the American gem society, has a standard process they use to award diamonds a cut rating. Some cuts include princess, emerald, pear, cushion, heart, oval, and asscher.
A diamond�s color is the final point you should evaluate when you are shopping for fine jewels. Most people want traditional diamonds known as colorless diamonds but these fine stones come with a very high price tag. Most diamonds have some color in them. The color in a diamond that receives a moderate rating will not be visible by the average consumer. These are a great option for buyers on a budget who cannot afford the pricier colorless diamonds. As you move toward the lower end of the rating scale you find diamonds with a visible yellowish tint. These yellow diamonds often have a lower price tag. However, all colored diamonds are not inexpensive. There are a few diamonds, known as colored diamonds that come in a variety of vibrant colors that fetch very high prices in today�s market such as pink, red, and canary.
