Jewelry Appraiser ServicesTips for Buying Big Diamonds on a Small Budget

Few diamond shoppers can walk into a high-end jewelry store and buy a 5-carat. D color. Internally Flawless diamond with Ideal cut parameters. If you are like most diamond shoppers Trollbeads . you have a limited budget. However (Discount Silver Dangle Earrings) . you still want to get the biggest and most beautiful diamond within your budget. You can take some simple steps that will ensure you get the biggest diamond possible.

1) Diamonds have price per carat increases at the most popular carat weights (0.50. 1.00. 1.25. 1.50. 2.00. etc.) because that is what shoppers request when they go into a jewelry store. Your dollars can go further buying a diamond that has a carat weight just under those weights. For example. a diamond that weighs 0.90 carats can be the same millimeter diameter as a diamond weighing 1.00 carat but cost $1000 less.

2) The price of diamonds is very sensitive to color grade. yet most shoppers have a difficult time seeing the difference between some of the color grades. If you buy the lowest color grade that looks beautiful to your eyes. the lower price per carat allows you to buy a bigger diamond with your dollars. The highest color grades (D Wholesale Shell MOP Strands . E. and F) are categorized as “colorless.” The next color grades (G. H. I. and J) are “near colorless” and the source of beautiful diamonds at much lower prices.

3) A ring with several smaller diamonds is less expensive than a single diamond with the same total carat weight. For example. three 0.50 carat diamonds will cost a fraction of what a single diamond weighing 1.50 carats. The same holds true for a 1.0-carat center stone with 0.25-carat diamonds on each side. If you want a finger full of diamonds with a limited budget. consider several diamonds rather than a solitaire.

4) All diamonds have inclusions; the key is what you can see with your eye. Once a diamond is clean to the eye (VS2 or good SI1 for brilliant cut shapes). higher clarity grades have no impact on the beauty or appearance of a diamond. they only add to the expense. Get the lowest clarity grade you are comfortable with and save a lot of money will no sacrifice in beauty.

5) The shape of the diamond can affect the millimeter size. Of course Tungsten Rings . you should always get the diamond shape you like best but some shapes do look larger than other shapes. Ovals. marquises and pear shaped diamonds generally look larger than round or square diamonds with the same carat weight.

6) Even diamonds with the same shape and carat weight can be different sizes. The cut of the diamond can influence the millimeter size. Shallower diamonds tend to be bigger in length and width than deeper diamonds. It is similar to two men each weighing 200 pounds. where the smaller waistline probably results in a taller man.

7) The type of setting you select to hold your diamond can influence the diamond’s perceived size as well as affect the dollars you have to spend on the diamond. White gold settings cost about one-third of platinum settings. leaving more money for your diamond. Bezel set diamonds or diamonds with pave around the center stone can make the diamond appear bigger.

Perhaps the most important factor in getting the biggest diamond for your dollars is where you purchase. The retail markup on diamonds can range from well under 10% with online retailers to over 200% at high-end jewelry stores. Finding a retailer with very low overhead and low prices will ensure more of your dollars go for your diamond. Why spend your money for polished marble floors Stainless Steel Pendants. fancy display cabinets. and elaborate store interiors. all things you cannot wear out of the store?

In the end (Engraved Rings) . you want to go with the diamond that excites you and makes you happy every time you wear it. That is the best indicator that you have made the right decision and have the best diamond for you.

The Four Cs of Diamond Quality

The Four C’s of Diamond Quality

Perhaps you’ve heard of the “Four C’s” of diamond quality. Each and every unique diamond in the world has its own defining characteristics. and understanding each of them will help you make an informed decision when you come into a Spence Diamonds showroom.

Cut

Nothing is more important to the brilliance and sparkle of a diamond than its cut. as it is responsible for around 40% of a diamond’s price. A well cut diamond will reflect light from one facet to another and back through the top. creating a dramatic sparkling effect that only a diamond can emit. Only the most skilled diamond cutters can shape a diamond with exacting precision. to release its full brilliance. taking into account such factors as proportions. finish. and of course symmetry.

Colour

When examining a diamond. be sure to view it “loose” (unmounted) under a neutral light source. to get the best view of its colour. In the “normal colour” range. the colour of a diamond is rated on a scale that goes from D to Z. with D being the whitest diamond available China Australia Chrysoprase . and Z being a tinted. light yellow colour. For most jewelry. a colour grade from G to J is usually best.

Why “D to Z?” Before this rating system was invented. diamond professionals used many other symbols (including liberal uses of “A” and “AA”) to rate colour. so the creators of the new system started at D. to avoid any confusion with the outdated ratings systems.

There are also various coloured diamond choices available today. but when you are looking specifically at a white diamond. you should understand how this scale works. and where your diamond of choice is rated on the spectrum. Also. the mounting of a diamond can impact its appearance. A more yellowish diamond will appear whiter next to a gold setting. whereas a white gold setting will make the diamond look less pure if you compare the two side-by-side.

Clarity

The clarity of a diamond refers to the number and nature of inclusions or blemishes that are visible when you view it under a microscope. Some diamond professionals refer to clarity as “purity” or “quality.” but neither of those start with “C.” so we’ll stick with clarity.

A blemish is an imperfection on the surface of a diamond. and an inclusion is a small spot contained within it. Diamonds with little or no imperfections such as these are rarer. and much more valuable. Five factors determine a diamond’s clarity: the size. number. position. nature and “relief” of the inclusions. Relief describes the level of visibility of these imperfections. The clarity scale of a diamond is the easiest to understand: It varies from Flawless (Steel Stone Rings) . to Internally Flawless. and from there goes to VVS. VS. SI and I. These are easy to understand and remember. because they stand for: Very Very Slightly included Handbags Blog. Very Slightly included. Slightly Included. and Included. Each of these designations has varying levels as well. but getting a handle on these will help you understand the importance of clarity in a diamond’s grading.

An “I” rated diamond will have inclusions that are visible to the naked eye (Glass Beads) . whereas even a skilled diamond expert would need a microscope to see the inclusions in an “SI” diamond. Because of this. diamonds rated “SI” usually represent the best value for your investment.

Important Note: Skilled jewelry makers often mount a diamond so as to mask an inclusion from sight. helping it appear more flawless. Before buying a diamond. be sure to examine it loose under a microscope to get a better idea of its clarity.

Carat

The last and most obvious characteristic that a diamond is measured by is its Carat (abbreviated “ct.”). A carat is a measure of weight Shell Earrings Brooches . and it takes 142 of them to make an ounce.

Interesting bits of trivia:
You can mail 142 one-carat diamonds with just a single postage stamp (Not that you would want to)!
The majority of diamonds used in jewelry weigh less than one carat.

Obviously. a diamond’s carat weight can have a big effect on its value. When written Trendy Rings . carat weights are expressed as decimal numbers: 1.00 ct.. 0.48 ct.. 1.57 cts.. and so on. In a piece which has more than one diamond. often times you will see the total carat weight of the diamonds shown.

At Spence Diamonds. each and every diamond comes with an official Diamond Certificate. which will give you a detailed blueprint of your diamond. Now that you understand the “Four C’s” of diamond grading. you’ll have a better understanding of these certificates. which give you detailed info on all of the factors discussed above. including a “plotting” that shows the exact location of inclusions and blemishes.
