Diamonds:


Diamonds are known as a symbol of love. Today everyone prefers giving diamonds as a gift because it expresses your love and commitment for the person you love. Pure diamonds have four characteristics i.e. cut, color, carat and clarity. Carat, clarity and color are naturally acquired qualities of a stone while cut determine the desirability of diamonds. You can find different shapes and types in diamond jewelry in the market.


Carat
The weight or size of a diamond is measured in carats. A single carat is made up of one hundred segments called "points." One hundred and fifty points equals one and one half carats.


Clarity
This expresses how perfect the diamond is by identifying the flaws or inclusions.
Where the inclusions are, how big they are, and their type determines the value of the stone.


Color
Colorless diamonds are extremely rare in nature. Color definitely helps determine the value of a stone. An unpracticed eye does not easily see different gradations from high white to the start of the yellows. Bright-colored diamonds are a bit different.
Some examples are blue, amber, red, etc. Bright colored diamonds in larger sizes can command very high prices indeed. Collectors worldwide are eager to acquire them.


Cut
Precise formulas are to determine the appropriate cut for a diamond. A typical diamonds is cut with 58 facets.The stone's light-reflecting properties and its light dispersion are critical measurements in determining the stones quality and value.
