DIAMOND STONE
A diamond is a symbol of enduring love because of their durability and longevity
Natural diamonds mostly occur as isolated crystals. The name 'diamond' was taken from the Greek word, 'adamas', meaning 'invincible', a sheer testament to its remarkable and superior hardness.
The superlative physical qualities of diamond are credited to the strong covalent tetrahedral bonding between its transparent crystals.
Diamond is the transparent, gemstone-quality crystalline form of carbon and it is indeed the hardest-known natural substance on Earth.
Although traditional colorless or 'white diamonds' are the most popular colored diamonds but yellow and brown diamonds are actually the most commonly occurring diamonds. To buy diamonds online you need to just visit our website.
Natural diamonds are evaluated on four aspects
COLOUR OF DIAMOND STONE
• Color is an important factor to consider when choosing a diamond, as it is noticeable to the unaided eye
• A diamond's color has a significant impact on its appearance. With its many prismatic facets, a colorless diamond reflects light into a spectrum of hues, a characteristic often referred to as "fire". The presence of noticeable color in a diamond may reduce its ability to reflect light. Consequently, diamonds with lower color grades will not show the same luminosity and fire as those with higher grades. The most valuable diamonds have little to no detectable color.
• The diamond color chart or scale begins at D (colorless) and ends at Z (light yellow).
• D is totally colorless, without a hint of any other color. Z indicates an intense deep yellow or deep yellow-brown
CUT OF DIAMOND STONE
• The contours and outlines of a diamond have a significant impact on its appearance.
• The brilliant round cut diamond is the most popular,
• Other shapes include pear, oval, radiant, princess (square), emerald (octagon), asscher, cushion, heart and trillion (triangular) shapes.
CLARITY OF DIAMOND STONE
Inclusions found on a diamond can be considered nature's birthmarks, the distinguishing characteristics that make the stone unique. When grading a diamond, the amount of inclusions and blemishes has a direct impact on its clarity and value. Flawless diamonds containing no inclusions are extremely rare and very expensive.
A diamond's clarity rating is based on the size, number, and location of internal and external characteristics. As most inclusions can't be seen by the naked eye, gemologists use a ten-power (10x) microscope to rate a diamond's clarity.
• FL Contains no internal inclusions when viewed with 10x magnification. • IF Internally Flawless diamonds may contain external characteristics (also known as blemishes).
• VVS1 and VVS2
• VVS1 and VVS2
• VVS1 and VVS2 Contains minute inclusions that are extremely difficult to locate under 10x magnification.
• VS1 and VS2 Contains minute inclusions, such as clouds, crystals, or feathers, which are difficult to locate with 10x magnification.
• SI1, SI2, & SI3 Contains noticeable inclusions under 10x magnification, including clouds, knots, crystals, cavities, and feathers.
• I1, I2, I3 Contains very obvious inclusions that can usually be seen with the naked eye, as well as under 10x magnification. Included diamonds sometimes display poor transparency and lack of brilliance.
CARAT OF DIAMOND STONE
• Size is the most visible factor that determines the value of all diamond types.
• The size of a Diamond is measured in Carats(ct) .A carat is equivalent to 0.2 grams (about 0.007 ounces).
• The price of the diamond rises exponentially depending on its size
