Our Diamond Buying Cheat Sheet
Let’s face it. Buying a diamond for an engagement ring or for any milestone jewelry is a big deal. It’s not only a major purchase, it’s also a major decision because you’re trying to get it right—the style, the carat weight, the sparkle! Most customers take about three months to find the perfect ring. While we can’t necessarily make the process faster, we can make it easier. Here’s a breakout of the tips our diamond experts share with their friends—and now, with you.
Diamond Cut
The Cut Determines How Well A Diamond Absorbs And Reflects Light. The Better The Cut, The More Sparkle The Stone Will Have. Note: Cut Does NOT Refer To The Shape Of The Stone.
Diamond Clarity
The Clarity Of A Diamond Refers To The Amount/Type Of Inclusions Present In It. A Diamond With Lesser Flaws Inspected Under 10X Magnification Receives A Higher Grade.
Diamond Color
The Color Of A Diamond Is Rated On A Scale Of D – Z, With D Being Totally Colorless And Z Being A Noticeable Yellow. In The Market, The Range Of D-F Is Highly Sought After.
Diamond Carat
The Carat Weight Refers To A Specific Measurement Of How Heavy The Diamond Is. Note: By Itself, Carat Weight Is Not An Indication Of The Stone’s Physical Dimensions.
