subject: Loose Diamonds Look Stunning [print this page] I can't imagine the feel of running your hand through and weighing gorgeous cut diamonds before they are set into a stunning piece of jewelry. With some jewelers, you may choose your stone and have it set how you like. If you are new to stone or gem buying, then purchasing a certified diamond will give you backup assurance of the gem being exactly as stated. A wise choice before buying any piece of jewelry is to browse through several quality websites and see what they have to offer. You could do this of course at any hour of the day or night, and you certainly save on shoe leather and gas!
The art of the gem cutter is at the core of how a diamond looks. Some diamonds lend themselves to certain cuts better than others. It depends on how large they are, or what shape they are, or what color, or quality, or they have any fractures or imperfections within the stone itself. Of course, we've seen absolutely massive stones on the news, and in most cases the larger a diamond can be left, the more value it has. This may seem obvious to some people, and sometimes diamonds have to be reduced in size in order to produce a finished stone which can be used in jewelry. Obviously, the most diamond that remains, can only add to the value.
GIA Certified Loose Diamonds are the best because this Institute, a.k.a. the Gemological Institute of America, has been the standard for diamonds for a long time. When diamonds have been certified you will know that the guarantee about variety, cut, brilliance, clarity, the color, and value are as stated. It doesn't serve anyone's purpose to be generic when describing something as lovely as a diamond, no matter what its color or value.
A Diamond set in a piece of jewelry can only be enhanced by it. Of course this does depend upon the skill of the cutter, and the makeup of the stone itself. Diamonds are forged by nature, but made more visually stunning by the skill of humans. Shopping for jewelry of any kind but especially diamonds can be done online and this has come to be one of the most popular ways to purchase jewelry. You can save money, and time, and compare to your hearts content and at any hour of the day or night, as you sit in your favorite office or arm chair at home.
