How to buy a quality diamond

Nowadays there are more and more fake diamonds jewelry made that look like real diamond jewelry. Therefore, you'll need to be able to know and recognize the difference between them when you buy a diamond for yourself or for your love one. I can tell you it is sometimes very difficult.

First 4 things that you have to know when you are buying a diamond jewelry in the diamond jewelry shops are these 4Cs: carat, cut, color, and clarity. Carat refers to the weight and the size of the diamond. The cut is the shape of the diamond, the most common cuts are princess, round and pear. I personally love princess cut very much. Colors refer to colorless or very near to colorless diamonds are far more expensive than slightly colored diamonds. But somehow, some of the colored are quite popular these days, like pink, blue and yellow diamonds.

Poor clarity, one that is fraught with visible inclusions, this will not worth much. So bargain accordingly. The same goes for the color especially the visibly yellow hue.
