The Essentials of Buying Diamonds
Overview
When purchasing a diamond, quality is paramount. Understanding the key aspects can help ensure your investment is worthwhile.Key Considerations
Before buying, the most crucial factor to assess is the quality of the diamond. One of the main indicators of quality is clarity, which refers to how free a diamond is from blemishes or inclusions, visible either to the naked eye or under magnification.
Understanding Clarity
Clarity involves several factors:
- Blemishes: Surface flaws on a diamond.
- Chip: A missing piece.
- Scratch: A superficial mark.
- Fracture: A crack within the diamond.
- Polishing Lines: Fine lines from the polishing process.
- Natural: Unpolished parts.
- Extra Facets: Unnecessary polished surfaces affecting symmetry.
- Bearding: Tiny fractures along the diamond's edge.
Inclusions
Inclusions are internal imperfections:
- Carbon: Black spots inside the gem.
- Crystal: White spots.
- Feather: Internal cracking.
- Pinpoint: Tiny spots, smaller than a crystal.
- Cloud: A group of pinpoints leading to a larger inclusion.
Tools for Assessment
The primary tool for evaluating a diamond is a loupe, which must have 10X magnification. The lens housing should be black to avoid color distortion.
By understanding these elements, you can make informed decisions when buying diamonds, whether they are for engagement rings, wedding bands, or other fine jewelry pieces like diamond earrings or pendants. This knowledge ensures that you select high-quality pieces worth their price, whether crafted in 18k gold, platinum, or sterling silver, and adorned with stunning gems like sapphires, emeralds, rubies, or pearls.
