Clarity
Most if not all of the diamonds have these tiny imperfections. And clarity is the measure of these tiny imperfections. These tiny imperfections are called ridges or natures blemishes on the diamonds. Clarity is the measure of the how many (number) and how big (size) of these imperfections are in the diamond. Many of these blemishes are seen through the microscope and are not visible through the naked eye so it does not affect the beauty of the diamond. These Diamond jewelry that have few or very minute imperfections get the highest clarity grade.
Cut
The cut of the diamond determines its brilliance and sparkle. So the better the diamond is cut, the more brilliance it will have. The cut of the diamond is considered the most important characteristics because the more the light plays on the diamond, it give it its sparkle and therefore has a greater impact on the diamond’s beauty. You have to select the highest cut grade of the diamond within your budget to get your moneys’ worth in buying diamond jewelry. When a diamond is cut in good proportion, the light that reflects on it returns at the top of the diamond more like a prism so the sparkle it emits makes the diamond more beautiful, if the cut is shallow, light is emitted at the bottom and if too high, the sparkle is less appreciated because the light leaks out in the sides.
Color
The color is the second important feature of the diamond after the cut. But, the size of the diamond affects it. The bigger the diamond the color becomes more noticeable to the eye. The color in diamond can vary through whit to colorless to pale pink.
Carat
Carat is the measure of the weight of the diamond in line with the measure across the top of the diamond in milliliters and the cut’s grade. It does not necessarily reflect the size of the diamond per se. to be able to save, you can opt to buy a .97 carat diamond instead of the one carat, they are almost the same in size and you get more savings from your money.
