A diamond is one of the best-known sought-after gemstones. The hardness of diamond and its high dispersion of light – giving the diamond its characteristic “Fire” – make it useful for industrial applications and desirable as jewellery. Diamonds are such a highly traded commodity that multiple organizations have been created for grading and certifying them based on the four C’s, which are Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat.

How to choose your Diamond Jewellery
Cut
Cut refers not only diamonds shape; ex: Round, Oval, etc. A diamonds curt grade depends on how well its facets interact with light.
Diamond cutting is the art and science of creating a gem-quality diamond out of mined rough. The cut of a diamond describes the manner in which a diamond has been shaped and polished from its beginning form as a rough stone to its final gem proportions…

There are mathematical guidelines for the angles and length ratios at which the diamond is supposed to be cut in order to reflect the maximum amount of light. Round brilliant diamonds, the most common, are guided by these specific guidelines, though fancy cut stones are not able to be as accurately guided by mathematical specifics.
The culet is the tiny point or facet at the bottom of the diamond. This should be a negligible diameter, otherwise light leaks out of the bottom.
The modern round brilliant has 57 facets (polished faces), counting 33 on the crown (the top half) and 24 on the pavilion (the lower half). The girdle is the thin middle part. The function of the crown is to refract light into various colors and the pavilion’s function to reflect light back through the top of the diamond.

Clarity
Diamonds are graded by the major societies on a scale ranging from flawless to imperfect.
Many diamonds have a clarity scratches, blemishes, bubbles or non diamond mineral material on their surface or inside. Under a microscope you will see “Black spots” or “Dosham” which is consider as bad luck. Lesser the number of “Black spots”, more is the value of diamond…

The Number, Size, Color, Relative location, Orientation and Visibility of inclusions can all affect the relative clarity of a diamond. Diamonds become increasingly rare when considering higher clarity grading. Only about 20% of all diamonds mined have a clarity rating high enough for the diamond to be considered appropriate for use as a gemstone; the other 80% are relegated to industrial use.
Most inclusions present in gem-quality diamonds do not affect the diamonds’ performance or structural integrity. When set in jewelry, it may also be possible to hide certain inclusion behind mounting hardware such as prongs in a way that renders the defect invisible. However, large clouds can affect a diamond’s ability to transmit and scatter light.
Large cracks close to or breaking the surface may increase the likelihood of a fracture.

Color
In a colourless diamond, the lesser the yellow tint, more will be rarity & value.
The finest quality as per colour grading is totally colourless, which is graded as “D” colour diamond across the globe, meaning it is absolutely free from any colour. The next grade has a very slight trace of colour, which can be observed by any expert diamond value/grading laboratory….

However when studded in jewellery these very light colored diamonds do not show any color or it is not possible to make out color shades. These are graded as E color or F color diamonds.
Diamonds which show very little traces of color are graded as G or H color diamonds. Slightly colored diamonds are graded as I / J / K color. A diamond can be found in any color in addition to colorless.
Some of the colored diamonds, such as pink, are very rare. A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond is perfectly transparent with no hue, or color.

Carat
Carat is a standard unit of measure that defines the mass of a diamond, and not a measure of its size. One carat is equivalent to 200mg and ranging from 0.01cts to 100cts. The point unit is equal to one one-hundredth of a carat is 0.01ct or 2mg.
All else being equal, the price per carat increases with carat weight, since larger diamonds are both rarer and more desirable for use as gemstones…

Instead, there are sharp jumps around milestone carat weights, as demand is much higher for diamonds weighing just more than a milestone than for those weighing just less. As an example, a 0.99 carat diamond may have a significantly lower price per carat than a comparable 1.01 carat diamond, because of differences in demand.
