It’s all about the sparkle, right ladies? Who doesn’t feel special wearing a beautiful diamond that screams, “Look at me!”
Diamonds are classified based on four properties: color, clarity, cut, and carat. Each of these properties defines a diamond and its worth. Color is graded on a scale of D though Z, with D being colorless and Z considered fancy or orange.
Clarity is graded on a scale from flawless to Included. Flawless diamonds are very rare and very valuable. Small inclusions, imperfections inside a diamond determine its clarity grade.
The cut of a diamond actually includes two features; the shape and the make. The shape of the diamond is just that. There are round diamonds, pear-shaped diamonds, and marquise diamonds, to name a few. The make of the diamond has to do with how well a stone is cut and faceted to bring out its natural beauty. This is where the sparkle comes in.
The last aspect of diamond classification is carat weight. “Carat” is the unit weight of the stone and is equal to 0.200 grams. Bigger is not always more valuable when the other aspects of diamond classification are taken into consideration.
