The following four C's are the main factors that contribute to the price of a diamond.
Carat
Carat is the measure of weight for gems. It has nothing to do with size. The way a diamond is cut and how it is mounted can make a diamond look bigger or smaller regardless of its carat or point size (100 points= 1 carat). Please be aware that larger diamonds are more rare then smaller diamonds. This is why the price of diamonds rises exponentially as the carat weight rises.
Clarity
A diamond's clarity is graded on the number, location, size and type of inclusions found within the stone. An inclusion is either a mineral or fracture that occurred while the diamond was being formed by nature. These inclusions may look like crystals, specs or even clouds. Diamond clarity is graded on a scale from "F" (flawless) to "I" where inclusions can be seen by the naked eye (without the use of a 10x loupe.) The more inclusions, the less valuable the stone and the less fire and brilliance the stone will have.
Color
Diamonds can have a significant range of color and the more colorless the stone, the more valuable. The scale range starts at D (colorless) to Z. (There is no A, B, or C.) Grades D through I are colorless to near-colorless while J through Z will have hues of yellow to brown. As inclusions will affect the brilliance of a stone, the more color a stone has, the less brilliant it will appear.
Cut
The cut of the diamond refers to the proportions and angles of the finished diamond. Every facet of the diamond must be cut and then polished to precise specifications. Scientific formulas map out how to best cut a stone so light will reflect from one facet to another until it finally disperses through the top of the stone. The better the light reflects out, the greater the fire and brilliance, the more expensive the diamond. |
