Diamond 4 C's

Diamond Quality - Using the 4 C's to Determine Diamond Quality
It is crucial that you make an informed purchase especially when you're looking to buy diamonds. There is a grading system that runs through all of the unique characteristics to make sure that you get the best diamond quality. There is such a thing as the diamond grading certificate that outlines all of the major characteristics of a diamond to ensure that you get your desired order when purchasing diamonds. On the certificate is a list of what experts in the jewelry industry call the "4 C's," which are used to grade a diamond. These four C's are Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity.

Carat

Carat weight is the measure of how heavy the diamond is. The typical carat weight of a diamond is between 0.01 and 1.00. No two diamonds are identical and the only way to determine the value of the diamond is by its carat weight. When purchasing diamonds, keep in mind that it is very important to consider the carat weight of the diamond as it greatly impacts the price.

Cut
The cut of the diamond varies depending on the cutter. One must have the skill and precision required to cut diamonds because it is no easy task. How much the light reflects on a diamond depends on the way it has been cut. An excellent cut will emphasize the best features of the diamond and determine its brilliance.

Color :- There is a scale that ranks the colors of the diamonds. The grading system utilizes the alphabet and lists D, which means translucent, at the peak and Z, which means pale yellow, at the lowest.

Clarity :- This establishes the diamond's value by listing the inclusions or the internal characteristics and the blemishes, which reveal any chips or scratches on the surface. A diamond that has the slightest amount of flaws is the one that most shoppers prefer.

This grading system is an objective way of evaluating diamond quality. Consult jewelry experts for an informed purchase and keep in mind the 4 C's to ensure that you're getting your money's worth.

Diamond Search

We've all heard the phrase, listened to the Bond song and made the jokes about true love not lasting forever. But diamonds do? The question we are asking now is do diamonds really last forever? It can be safely assumed that they last a long time, as anyone who has had any diamond earrings bought for them, but will they live on and on after we shuffle off this mortal coil?

Scientists inform us that while diamonds are a very tough stone, in fact they are the hardest natural substance known to man, they cannot actually last forever due to the fact that man can hone and facet them into items of jewelery. So, the fact that jewelery makers can actually fashion these beautiful stones into the diamond earrings and necklaces that we all know and love is actually what prevents them from actually lasting forever; there's surely some irony in there somewhere!

However, if this disheartens all those romantics out there, as some of the mysticism may have been taken away from the essence of diamonds then don't worry, for if they were actually stones that lasted forever, then that beautiful diamond earring that you purchased for your loved one would not be as handsomely crafted as it is.

Also, the whole idea of a diamond lasting forever is essentially metaphorical; when you buy someone a diamond earring, you are making a commitment to them, be it one of friendship or love and this commitment or promise will last forever, long after the diamond has perished.

If you are looking for a diamond earring to present to someone, or perhaps you are looking for one to treat yourself, then the best place to begin your search is on the internet, where diamond companies offer generous discounts to those customers who purchase their goods online. So, if you are after a pair of diamond earrings, you should cash in on the bonus offers that these websites offer.

Most companies will offer a top quality service for your purchasing requirements and if you are dissatisfied with any item that you buy, then you should lodge a complaint and hopefully this will be dealt with smoothly and professionally. Concurrently, now that we know that diamonds do not in fact last forever, we should all make sure that when we buy our diamond earrings, we get a lifetime guarantee!

Diamonds

An ideal cut diamond is a round brilliant cut diamond that's cut to such precise proportions that the light entering through all sides of the diamond is sent back out of the diamond through the table with maximum reflection and refraction. If a diamond is cut too deep, the light will leave the diamond through the sides and if a diamond is cut too shallow then the light will also leave through the sides and bottom of the stone.

An ideal cut diamond is not possible all of the time, in many cases, the rough diamond's natural inclusions make it impossible for diamond cutters to apply ideal proportions during the cutting process. There are a few different versions of the ideal cut diamond, please take a look at the parameters and ideal cut diamond chart below, any round brilliant cut diamond that falls within the measurements below is an "ideal cut diamond".

* Table Size: 53% to 57.5% of the diameter

* Total Depth: 57.7% to 63% of diameter

* Crown Angle: 33.7 to 35.8 degrees

* Pavillion Depth: 42.2% to 43.8%

* Girdle Thickness: medium to slightly thick

* Culet: pointed, very small to small

Gia diamonds are round brilliant cut diamonds that fall outside of the ideal cut parameters still good looking diamonds and should I consider them when shopping for a diamond?

Absolutely, most of these diamonds are still stunning, brilliant and fiery stones. This is where a person shopping for a diamond can really get the best bang for the buck. Please take a look at our recommendations below, it can be agreed upon by many in the diamond industry that any round brilliant cut diamond within these ranges will certainly be a stunning, brilliant and attractive stone.

Michael Jackson's Hair to be made into Diamonds

If you thought diamonds are ultimately desirable, what would you say about those rare ones that are created from the very hair of pop icon Michael Jackson. Sadly, the man has scaled all possible heights of popularity post his death than when alive, and we cant help but remain glued to every bit of new update that is available about the legend.

The latest will definitely keep you reeling with shock. Now, you could actually have a part of this music genius captured in a forever diamond. Well yes, a Chicago based company is contemplating turning Michael Jacksons hair into diamonds. Do you recall the unfortunate Pepsi commercial shoot during which the King of Pop's hair caught fire way back in the eighties? While trying to extinguish the flames, a part of the star's hair was retrieved and preserved which is being turned into diamonds.

LifeGem, the company taking up this venture assures of ten sparkling diamonds but are yet to decide on the price. Interestingly, the procedure from charred hair to glittering diamonds would be accomplished by extracting carbon from the hair and and turning it into crystals which can in turn be processed into diamonds.

Interestingly, LifeGem claims to have transformed another music legend Beethoven's hair into diamonds as well, which sold for a whooping $240,000 each. Lets wait and watch the price tag attached to the diamonds churned out from Michael Jackson's hair.

How to choose a blue diamond?

 

 

One of the most beautiful things in nature, fancy colored diamonds are the true symbol of nature’s bounty.

Yellow, red, pink, purple, blue or green is not what you expect when you talk of diamonds. Anyone who knows the popular 4 Cs will tell you, lesser the color, better the diamond. But in case of natural colored diamonds this is not true. Vivid colors add to the extraordinary beauty of a diamond.

Fancy color diamonds attain high values because of their extreme rarity and captivating beauty. Going by statistics, only 1 out every 10,000 natural diamonds is a fancy colored diamond.

Diamonds of almost all colors can be found in nature ranging from pink to black, spanning all the colors of the rainbow including blue, red, yellow, green, gray and brown. Then these occur in infinite shades and hues. Some colors are more popular than others, and in particular the colors whose names evoke a strong image - red, pink, blue, green, orange. In this case, the price depends not only on the rarity of the color, but also on the demand for it: the greater the demand, the higher the price. For instance, beautiful gray diamonds are rarer than many other colors, but cost a lot less as the demand for them is much weaker.

Blue diamonds are the ultimate symbol of beauty and luxury. One of the most priced diamonds in the world, The Hope diamond, is a sapphire colored blue diamond. Given below are some tips on buying blue diamond.

Color - While buying blue diamonds keep in mind that the breathtaking blue color in diamonds looks equally beautiful in pale blue color as in fancy deep blue color. Although the fancy deep blue color will cost you more we suggest you buy the color that appeals to you. In case of colored stones cost is not always the direct determinant of quality and value of the stone. As if you like the pale blue color enjoy the extra savings with the lovely color.

Carat - After color, carat has the most impact on price for fancy color diamonds. While mining it is very rare to find a large crystal from which a big stone can be extracted. This makes large diamonds much more priced. In case of fancy colored diamonds it becomes even more difficult to find an inventory of calibrated sizes.

Clarity – in case of natural color diamonds clarity is a lesser concern. In most cases diamond color tends to mask the inclusions.

Cut - Fancy color diamonds follow the cut principle of colored gemstones in contrast to colorless diamonds that are cut to maximize sparkle or brilliance. While fancy color diamonds still exhibit brilliance, bringing out the beautiful color is the most important characteristic considered when they are being cut.

Jewelry vs Tatoos

Do you know what’s the hottest in fashion these days – freedom! The beauty is that you can think of the wackiest, wildest of the things, do them and be respected for your freedom of expression. This one’s a great example. My friend Stella had an allergic reaction to some metals. This allergy has resulted in a phobia for jewelry. Even if it is hypo allergic, Stel is dead scared of jewelry. So on her wedding Stel chose to be different and creative. Stel wore wedding tattoos to adorn her on her bridal day. Those were fancy temporary tattoos but believe me they looked cooler than diamonds. As if this was not enough, Stel and her hubby exchanged their wows and got tattoo wedding rings done! And you know what Ton, Stella’s husband, said while exchanging their tattoo rings, “only till death do us apart!”, and literally meant it.
