  1. How to buy diamond: a simplified guide Since the time unknown, diamond remains a symbol of enduring love. It forges the bond of love, which, just the diamond, is forever. No diamonds are alike, just like the individuals whom it embellishes; its brilliance and value vary just like the personality of a wearer. Selecting a diamond that suits your personality can be a trickier than it seems. Understanding the worth and character of a diamond involves four “C's,” carat, cut, clarity and color—it is a sort of cardinal rule that has not changed for centuries. Many may argue that clarity is far more important than carat, similarly, carat more important than colour, however, it also boils down to the combination that fits in a budget; be it an engagement ring or a diamond set wedding bands, in Birmingham or in Boston, the rule remains the same. Carat It is a standard unit for measuring diamonds weight. The general rule is the larger the diamond, the more expensive it is, as they are rarer in the earth crust. To understand the concept of carat, let give an example, a carat is sub-divided into 100 points, thus, if a diamond consists of 75 points, its weight is characterised as 0.75 carats.

  2. Cut For many, the cut of the diamond matters the most, and generally, it is accepted a good starting point. A cut of a diamond decides the reflective attributes, which provides it brilliance. A standard rule is: the better a diamond is cut, the brighter it will look. The most popular shape is round because it has 58 facets, giving it reflective quality, unlike any other cut. However, recently, shapes like pear, oval, emerald, and princess are also wildly popular. It is important to remember, a shape individually does not determine the cost of a diamond, clarity and colour also define the worth and cost, irrespective of place or jewellery; a diamond set wedding bands in Birmingham would not cost differently in other regions if the brand of a store is barred. Clarity Almost all diamonds have some kind of natural inclusions; it is extremely rare to discover a diamond with absolute clarity—“Kohinoor” is one those diamonds. The thumb rule is: the smaller the inclusions or aberration in colour, the more rare and expensive the diamond. It is almost impossible for untrained eyes to differentiate between the clarity of a diamond, as it is seen using 10 power magnification. Therefore, always look for certified diamonds. Colour The rule for the colour of a diamond is: the more colourless, the expensive the diamond. For consumer helps diamonds are graded from D to I; diamonds with grading D, E, and F, colourless, whereas one with G, H, and I grading near colourless. Our recommended approach to colour is simple, whether you are buying a bracelet or diamond set wedding bands in Birmingham or Brighton, choose the colour the your heart wants.
