important components of a

spending their time in reviewing these components while purchasing a
diamond, this may bring them to a false conclusion on buying a low
quality diamond without their knowledge.
Generally all the diamonds will be classified based on these four C’s
say Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut. It is important for every buyer that
they should have prior knowledge on these C’s before going to purchase a
diamond.
Cut
The primary thing in these four C’s is the cut quality, when a diamond is not holding a good cut quality then this diamond will not be considered even if it have good components as color and clarity. When a diamond get’s a good cut after that only it will emerge out of its rough condition, and actually this cut quality only brings a majesty look and appearance to that diamond, in general the type of diamond cut decides that how much sparkle does the diamond should radiate. Among all the types of diamond cut the brilliant rounded cut is most dynamically practices the gem’s sparkle.
Color
Most of the diamonds comes in normal color range which is said to be pale yellow or brown color, other than this any coloring if found is said to be fancy color diamonds. These Fancy color diamonds are very precious and very rare in the market and sure the price will be very high. The colorless diamonds are the purest form of diamonds and these colorless diamonds will be in bright white in appearance.
Clarity
The Clarity of the diamond will always depends upon the number of scratches and flaws on that particular diamond. In our diamond market there are different categories in defining these flaws and scratches on the diamond to order the diamonds. The reduced number of flaws and scratches determines the clarity of those diamonds. The first quality of a diamond is said to be Flaw Less i.e. FL and others is Severely Included which denotes the Flaws that were included in those diamonds. Commercially available diamonds are graded as SI1, SI2 and etc. This denotes the Severely Included 1, Severely Included 2 and so on. The higher quality in this grading are said to be VS and VVS i.e. Very Slightly Included and Very Very Slightly Included.
Carat
Carat denotes the weight of any diamond, where in olden days carob seed was used to determine a carat of a diamond but later a carat was declared as 200 Milligrams. The price may increase by each carat increases, at our Jeweler’s market the common carat weights of diamonds are 0.50, 1.00, 1.25 and etc. A piece of diamond weighs 1.00 is equal to two separate diamonds that weighs 0.50 where the price is same, those who are interest in buying multiple diamonds instead of single large piece is possible.
The above parameter’s describes the each and every important component that used to determine the good quality diamond.
