Hi Girls

As you know I love diamonds, but I was never entirely sure how they were graded. I mean why is one so much more expensive than another? And how do those in the know pick out the really good ones. So I started doing a little research and here is what I found.

Color is one of the number one ways of determining diamond quality. The colors are graded from D to Z. D would be a colorless diamond and Z one with a yellowish tinge. You want a diamond with the least amount of color possible, if you are looking for overall value.

Next you look at the diamond’s clarity. The less flaws that the diamond has the more valuable. And there are levels of diamond classes based on the number of external and internal flaws.

And finally the size of the diamond is a determining factor. The larger the diamond, naturally, the more expensive.

Use this as a guide the next time you go hunting for diamonds.

SMILES!
