Often when purchasing a diamond the different sizes, letters and names which represent these factors can be confusing. Our diamond guide covers each of the 5 areas concerning diamonds so you can be sure of purchasing your perfect diamond.The price and also the quality of a diamond usually depends on 5 different factors: the colour, the cut, the clarity the weight and the shape of the diamond. ColoourDiamonds tw steel canteen are graded using a colour scale that ranges from ‘D’ (completely colourless) to ‘Z’ (tinted yellow). First Class Diamonds do not use diamonds with tints below ‘J’ as they tend to look dull with subsequent letters, not offering you the level of quality expected. The higher in the colour the brighter the diamond and this is the part of your choice were your money is best spent. The first three colours ‘D’ ‘E’ ‘F’ are colourless and are only recommended for the purist as they you can usually only tell the difference between an colourless diamond and those ranging from G – J when compared side-by-side. Colours ‘G’ ‘H’ ‘I’ are near colourless . They are easily the colours we recommend for most clients. Colours ‘J’ show very faint colour and are recommended for the budget conscious.Iluxury rolex watches watchest is really pretty.
The closer to ‘D’ you go, the more expensive the diamond. Can you see the difference between a ‘D’ colour and a ‘K’ colour? In fact the ‘K’ colour will look pretty dull in comparison to a D. However, if you look at 2 diamond rings from a distance, it becomes a lot more difficult to tell the difference between them. Most people will not be able to tell the d’ E’ and a ‘J’ colour when mounted. If you’re the type of person who wants the absolute best, by all means purchase a ‘D’ colour; but don’t be surprised if a lower colour grade looks just as good.ClarityMost diamonds have imperfections also called inclusions. The clarity grade is based on how many and how pronounced these inclusions are. Put simply, the fewer blemishes the more expensive the diamond. Can you see the difference between an ‘IF’ (flawless) clarity and a ‘VS1’ clarity? Without the help of a magnifying glass NO! (Even with a magnifying glass most of our customers struggle to see any of the inclusions in a VS1 clarity diamond). You can buy a flawless or a VVS graded diamond but the visual appearance of the diamond remains the same. You can start to notice a difference in the brilliance of a diamond when you look at an SI clarity diamond with the I1 to I3 clarity diamonds showing a noticeable reduction in beauty. Most people will not be able to tell the difference.
