Loose Diamonds – Clarity Loose diamond clarity begins with flawless for a diamond that does not have any "flaws" or inclusions. Most diamonds have some flaws, feathers and specks in them that are visible under 10 X magnifications or to the naked eye. The loose diamond clarity chart begins with flawless followed by VVS 1 (very, very slight flaws) and through the whole range of diamond clarities. These flaws considerably affect diamond prices. Relax, it only takes a few minutes to learn the lingo and compare diamond prices based on diamond clarity. Loose Diamonds - Carat Weight The carat weight of loose diamonds is just that - how much the stone weighs. Not very exhilarating until you see the spectacular rise in price from a small quarter carat diamond to a one or two carat diamond. Loose diamonds allow couples to purchase the best diamond they can afford now and upgrade the center diamond in the future. Loose Diamonds - Cut Loose diamond cut refers tot the shape of your diamond. Round brilliant diamonds are the most popular diamond cut and are available in many price ranges and sizes. It pays to price round diamonds even if you plan to buy a fancy cut diamond. The "fancy cut" diamonds include oval diamonds, emerald cuts, pear shaped diamonds, heart diamonds, marquis cuts, etc. Each diamond cut has it's own magic and romance… Which diamond cut should you choose? Let you heart by your guide. Loose Diamonds - Color Loose diamond color is based on matching a diamond against a set of diamond color stones called "master" stones. The colors of the master stones (usually quartz) start range from colorless (best quality) to slightly yellowish followed by diamonds that are clearly yellow and brown diamonds. The diamond color chart starts with "D" for a colorless diamond, followed by E,F,G (slight yellowish tint) and H, I and J that are clearly yellowish. There are also fancy yellow diamonds, green diamonds, etc. We hope this guide has been helpful, for more information on loose diamonds please visit http://www.diamonds-usa.com Efrat is a writer for Compucall-usa.com. for more information on loose diamonds please visit www.diamonds-usa.com Article Directory: Article Dashboard Other articles from Jewelry... |
