Any buyer wants to buy the best diamond, the problem most concerned by diamond buyers is: what is the best diamond? We know well 4C principles (Caratage, Clarity Color and Cut) in selecting diamond, today Red Nymph expert will introduce some skills for selecting high-grade diamond.
To know what the best diamond is, let’s start with how to select diamond. As for the color of diamond, it’s used to be indicated by number in Asia, and most heard is 95 color, which is equivalent to I color; D color is the best color, which is rarely seen. J, K, L etc fall into the category of yellow color, but I and J are generally classified to one grade in the jewelry market, actually, they’re different, I color belongs to white color, but J color contains yellowish color.
Polish means whether the diamond conforms with the standard; some diamond are not polished according to standard, which will have adverse effect to diamond luster; if a diamond is good in clarity and cut, but poor in polish, it’ll directly impact its price. In the jewelry market, the polish is described by countries or regions, for example, polish in Israel is a simple summary of regional polish style; however, even if in good polish in one region, it’s not uncommon to see diamond in poor workmanship, so it’s better to see the physical goods personally.
Generally speaking, diamond of grade IF clarity is barely seen in the market. VVS is high grade, with no impurity observed even with magnifying glass of 10 magnification times, but fine impurities are observed with magnifying glass of 30 magnification times; for clarity of diamond is observed with magnifying glass of 10 magnification times in international standard, VVS in the market is the highest grade of clarity.
If you want to have a wedding ring, it’s not a headache for you to decide what diamond is the best. In most cases, jewelry set with diamond lower than 50ct is OK for choice of personal favorite, the value of diamond can be taken as reference only, and genuine diamond of moderate color and cut is OK.
Top Tips for Selecting a High Quality Diamond
Cut gives your diamond the sparkle and fire.
For round shaped diamonds, focus on the “Triple X”: Excellent Cut, Excellent Polish, Excellent Symmetry.
For fancy shaped diamonds, focus on the length-to-width ratio of the diamond.
If the diamond is greater than 1.25 carats, clarity is more important.
If the diamond is less than 1.25 carats, color is more important.
When purchasing yellow gold metal for your ring, save money by choosing a diamond color in the I to K range.
For a platinum or white gold ring setting, the diamond should be at least a G on the color scale.
Most people who receive diamonds as a gift or for an engagement have a shape preference. While other factors (such as price and quality) should be determined by the purchaser, the choice of shape should include input from the receiver of the diamond, if at all possible. This is especially true for fancy shape engagement diamonds.
Unless a particular preference has been expressed, consider a round diamond. Round diamonds tend to have more brilliance and scintillation than other shapes, they accommodate almost any ring setting, and never go out of fashion
