important when buy a diamond

When you think about buy a diamond, what do you think of first the price. Many people of today still admire of buying diamond because of its beauty but are scare they will be cheated. When buying you must knows the cut, clarity, carats the colour and lastly ask for the certificate. The 5 "c" you must remmember know when buying a diamond are important.

The cut of a diamond is a how the diamond maker angles the gemstone in such a way as to best reflect light through the diamond, resulting in the diamond’s sparkle. A poorly cut diamond isn't as brilliant or shiny and, therefore, will be less valuable.

The clarity of a diamond involves looking at how clear the diamond is when you look through it. When purchasing a diamond for clarity, dont buy if see their a presence of dark spots inside the diamond.

Carat defines the size of the diamond. Larger diamonds, those of a higher carat will cost more than a cluster of smaller diamonds, even if the total carats of the diamond cluster are the same. This means that a single one-carat diamond will cost you more than three diamonds set in a ring that add up to one carat. The reason behind this is that larger diamonds are rarer than smaller diamonds.

The color of diamond you choose is entirely based upon your personal preference. Diamonds that are colorless, however, are the rarest and therefore cost more than other diamonds. Colorless diamonds are known as white diamonds. Diamonds also come in a variety of different hues, including yellow, green, blue and pink. There are even diamonds known as “black diamonds”.

Lastly when you are satified with the 4 "c" ask for the last "c" the certificate of the diamond.
