“Diamonds are a girl’s best friends”, but diamonds have the ability of making friends with everybody. The above words are very true, have you ever heard of a person who dislikes diamonds. We have been hearing about diamonds since birth and maybe that’s the reason why we feel so connected to it. Diamonds are treasured as gemstones since the time when they were used as religious icons in ancient India. Scientifically, Diamond is the hardest natural material known on Earth. It is a crystal of tetrahedral bonded carbon atoms. Because of the material’s exceptional physical characteristics, diamond is used for many purposes other than jewelry.

While purchasing diamonds there are four C points which have to be kept in mind, the below mentioned points may help you in procuring the real thing, the real diamonds.

DIAMONDS are graded by four characteristics:

CUT There is a special formula for diamonds also. According to standards, round brilliant diamonds are cut with 58 facets. More light should be reflected to the viewer’s eyes and it is possible when these facets are proportionately featured on the diamond and which is very important. Cut also refers to the shape of the diamond piece such as round brilliant, oval, marquise, pear, heart shaped and emerald. The new ones are Asher square cut and Royal radiant cut.

CARAT Carat actually refers to the weight of the diamond. The price increases with the size. A pint constitutes 100 points. There are just 5 carats in a gram. Always go for the actual point size rather than a fractional weight, you sometimes get cheated this way. Jeweler’s sale 90 diamond saying it a 1carat diamond. Always measure the stone to be on the safer side, because diamonds are not purchased every day…http://buydiamonds-buydiamond-jewelry.blogspot.com/
