How to buy the best diamond at the best price? Here is a guide that is supposed to help you become an informed amateur of diamonds.  Buying a diamond is a big investment and an important decision. Therefore, you should conduct a study beforehand as if you were buying a car or anything else of value. This article serves as a short introduction to the subject. It will only take a few minutes to read. This way, not only can you make an intelligent and rational purchasing decision, but you can also choose the most beautiful diamond for the woman of your life. Of course, you may also buy a diamond to treat yourself.

1)  First step: Learning the 4Cs

 

You will hear a lot about the 4Cs once you start showing interest in diamonds. The 4Cs are known as the characteristics of a diamond in the jargon of jewelry.  The 4Cs help to determine the value and beauty of a diamond: Carat - Cut (Size) - Color - Clarity (Purity). These are the 4 Cs.  The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. The size is considered the most important characteristic of a diamond. A well-cut diamond will have more fire, brilliance and shine brighter. The natural color of the visible matter of the diamond is the only natural characteristic. Finally, the purity is the indication of the inclusions (i.e. impurities) of the diamond. How are the 4Cs determined?

2) Second step: Pay attention to certificates

 

In general, every diamond sold in jewelry has been examined and classified according to the 4Cs. The scientific assessment gives you the possibility to compare the prices of diamonds. A larger diamond – with more carats - can be cheaper than a smaller one, but the purity and color can be much better. All the 4Cs should be taken into account in the determination of the value of a diamond. But how can you be sure of the characteristics of each diamond? Certificates serve as proof. The certificate is issued by independent gemological laboratories and offered by the diamond earrings shop where you make the purchase. It is written evidence of the qualities of the diamond as a basis for the determination of its value.

3) Third step: Develop a sensitivity to brightness 

 

There are several factors that contribute to the beauty of a diamond. Some women consider that a round, princess or pear diamond is more beautiful than any other diamond in any other shape. In fact, the beauty of the diamond is primarily a matter of personal taste.

But the most important aspect of the intrinsic beauty of a diamond is its brilliance. The brightness is also called "fire" or "shine". It is the element that brings life to the diamond, the element that captures your eyes from far away. This characteristic refers to the way light reflects when it is held in hand.

The brightness of a diamond can be determined scientifically in terms of references of light. You should learn more about brilliance of a diamond.

4) Step Four: Trust is important in the process of buying a diamond

 

Let’s assume that you have understood the essential role of the 4Cs, you have learned about the certification of diamonds and that you have awoken your sensitivity to the brilliance of a diamond. Now you must find a partner you trust.
