Diamonds are forever, and it is a known fact that diamond jewellery does not come cheap. When we are making an investment in diamonds, we want it to be the best. Whether we are buying a simple diamond ring or a whole diamond set, we all want it to be the best piece which will last forever with us. Buying diamonds is a very significant part as four major C's of diamonds should be thoroughly analysed.
Diamonds have four main important elements also known as four C's and if any of the element is missing then it does not make it a good diamond and purchasing it will not give you the right level of satisfaction as it will lack the real essence of a diamond. Cut, clarity, colour and carat weight are the four components and jewellers rank diamonds on the basis of these four components.
Cut is one of the most important factors as the brilliance of diamonds depends on its cut which is also considered to be a crucial part. Usually diamonds contains some inner flaws due to which it decreases its clear visibility. These flaws are created during the formation process which is a natural procedure. If the diamonds are clear then it is expected that they will be highly priced as compared to those which lack clarity.
It is a misconception that transparent diamonds cost more than coloured ones. Coloured diamonds except for off white, cost much more as they are found very rarely and hence are priced very high. Whereas off white coloured diamonds absorb light instead of reflecting it which reduces its brilliance and makes it less expensive. On the other hand we all know that carat weigh plays an important role in the pricing of expensive jewellery. Big diamonds are very few and hence they are the most expensive. As the weight and size of a diamond increases, its price increases as well.
Summing up, if you are planning to buy diamond jewellery then you should always have some knowledge about the four C's so that you make a worth investment rather than just paying more than what the piece of diamond actually deserved.
