The value of diamonds is commonly determining by 4 ‘C’s that
is Carat, Colour, Clarity and Cut. In this article we intend to provide you
information about the carat size, clarity, colour and cut of diamonds, so that
you can make a perfect decision while purchasing your diamond jewelleries. Most
of the people want to buy the best diamonds for the money they have, so it is
very important to check these 4 c’s without compromise.
The best diamond clarity you probably could purchase would
be IF, that is internally flawless diamonds. The sunny diamonds gives you only
the internally flawless diamonds for the best price. The colours of diamonds
are D, E, F (colourless) and if you purchase the internally flawless diamonds with colour D would be very expensive and special because they are very much
valuable and rare.
The clarity and
the colour of a diamond, the quality of the cut and the carat weight will
directly concern its rarity and worth. In general, the clearer the diamond, the
rarer and more valuable it will be. An IF (internally flawless) diamond will be
more costly than an SI grade diamond of the same weight.
The colour
grading of a diamond runs in an alphabetical scale with colours D,E and F are
colourless and as a result they are the more high-priced. The next group of colours G,H,I and J are
classed as close to colourless but under the microscope they appear with a
faint hint of yellow colour.
Diamonds with a colour K and M are grouped as pale yellow
and have a faintly more visible yellow tint than the higher grades. The prices of this grade are lesser but keep
in mind the colour is visibly pale yellow.
The colours graded from N – Z have a very definite hint of
yellow to them but are not classed as Fancy Yellow Diamonds. Fancy coloured
diamonds are also existing and growing in fame due to the new and glowing
colours available. Blue, champagne, pink
and canary yellow diamonds are most popular colours available.
The
clarity of a diamond is determined by its cut.
The advantage of good cut is noticeable on careful testing without
magnification. CUT refers to the size, symmetry and finish of a refined
diamond. CUT is the single most significant feature affecting a diamond’s shine,
radiance and visual fire
