When shopping for a diamond, keep these pointers in mind.
- Carat measurement
- Color
- Clarity
- Cut
The carat denotes the size of the diamond. The bigger ones are more valuable.
Diamonds have colors too. The more intensity of the color, the more valuable it is.
A good diamond should be clear from cracks, imbeds and other blemishes.
The cutting of the diamond that allows the maximum dispersion of light shows its worth to the fullest advantage.
After you’ve made a purchase, it is necessary to maintain your jewel to keep it in mint condition. Although diamonds are among the hardest objects on earth, they also have the Achilles heel. Heated objects and ultrasonic cleaners will weaken the structure of a diamond. To remove dirt in diamond jewelry, use warm dish detergent water and scrub gently.
Taking care of a gem will ensure its life long luster and its continual appreciation by the wearer and onlooker alike.
