DIAMOND EDUCATION

EDUCATION

The ideal diamond is completely colorless. These are the most expensive diamond types. Although most diamonds appear colorless, they actually have light tones of yellow or brown. The Hong Kong international Gem Laboratory (HKIGL), the diamond certification authority, classifies the color in alphabetical order from D (totally colorless) to Z (severe tinted). The grade difference is very subtle, and most of it is not visible to the naked eye. A diamond with a visible shade like K and above can still be beautiful if it has good clarity and cut. Only the graded N diamonds have a tint that is visible to the naked eye. Beyond S, the tint becomes more intense. Natural diamonds come in all colors and colors of the rainbow. The most popular diamond colors and types are a combination of pink, blue, brown, yellow, orange, green, and red. Yellow is the most common natural color in a diamond. White, red, blue, and green diamonds are very rare diamond types. Which is used in many proposal Wedding rings, proposal rings

CUT

Cutting refers to the proportions, finish, symmetry, and polishing of diamonds. These factors determine the intensity and brightness of a diamond. A well-cut diamond is proportioned, symmetrical, and polished; these are typically the most expensive types of diamonds. Well-carved diamonds are sold at discount prices at a premium and poorly cut

The width and depth of the cut can affect the way light moves inside the diamond and how it comes out in the form of brilliance.

Too much shadow and light are lost from below, losing the diamond to brilliance. A too deep cut allows the light to escape from the sides causing the diamond to appear dark and blunt.

The term “cut” may also refer to the style of diamond cutting, for example, certain types of diamonds are called “net cut diamonds”, “round cut diamonds”, or “heart cut diamonds.

Clarity

The clarity of a diamond is gauged using the differentiators below. With clarity, the types of diamond are gauged depending on the quantity and visibility of flaws.

FL – Completely Flawless.
IF (Internally Flawless) – The external flaws can be removed by further polishing.
VVS1 – VVS2 (Very Slightly Included) – Only an expert can detect flaws with a 10X microscope. By definition, if an expert can see a flaw from the top of the diamond, it is a VVS2. If the expert can only detect flaws while viewing the bottom of the stone, then it is a VVS1.
VVS1 clarity diamonds do not have any internal black marks. Then they also fall in the “No Dosham” or “No Black” category.
VS1 – VS2 (Very Slightly Included) – Flaws are visible with a 10X microscope, but it is not obvious (takes more than 10 seconds to identify the flaws).
SI1 – SI2 (Slightly Included) – Flaws are readily visible with a 10X microscope.
I1 – I3 (Included) – Flaws are eminently visible and can be found with the naked eye

CARAT

Size is the most visible factor that determines the value of all types of diamonds. The price of the wedding diamond increases exponentially depending on the size.

By definition, 1 carat is 200 milligrams. As most diamonds sold on the market weigh less than 1 carat, the carat is usually divided into “points”. There are 100 points in one carat. A diamond weighing 3/4 carat would be a “75 point diamond”./p>

1 carat = 200 milligrams = 100 points.

The weight of the carat is not a factor that indicates the quality of the diamond. While some of the other quality measures have more weight in the quality of certain types of diamonds, the carat simply denotes the size of a diamond, by its weight. The diamonds of 0.50 – 0.75 carats are very popular because of their size and value. Large diamonds are rare to find in mines than small ones, and large diamonds are therefore much more valuable.
