diamonds before he makes his choice.
There are four key things to know about diamonds. The four C’s
are: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat.
The first C, Cut, describes how the shape of the diamond. Among
the most popular cuts are oval, heart, square, and round shapes,
as well as the princess cuts.
While most diamonds are thought of as clear, color refers to the
color of the stone. Diamonds can also be yellow or pink.
Clarity describes the level of imperfections found in the
diamond. This means one diamond might not be as clear as the
next one. Some imperfections can be seen with the naked eye, but
most can only be seen with special equipment. Certain
imperfections can cause the sparkle you see when light hits the
diamond.
The size of a diamond is measured by carats. This is the total
weight of a diamond. The level of all these four factors,
combined, determines the prices and the better the quality the
more expensive the stone will be. The final thing that must be
considered is the setting.
The beauty of diamonds has made them popular with both men and
women, throughout history and throughout the world.

make a perfect gift for every occasion and always look great.
