Cut - A correctly cut diamond
of fine quality reflects the light that enters the diamond
back
out through the table creating a brilliant fire. A diamond with wrong pavilion
angles will allow
the light to leak out diminishing the brilliance.
Clarity - Is very important
in a diamond. It is best to buy the finest clarity possible
as any
inclusions will diminish the light reflected back out through the table of
the diamond.
For a clarity guide ask for details.
Colour - White diamonds are
the most sought after. Ranging on the Gemmological Institute
of America (GIA) colour scale from D - Z.
Carat - Is the weight of a
diamond. One carat weighing 100 points (1.00ct). Hence
a .75ct diamond
is 3/4 carat, .50ct is 1/2 carat, and .25ct is 1/4 carat. One carat weight
is equivalent to 0.2 of a gram.
