The Ideal Diamond Earrings
Diamonds are considered to be the most valuable type of gem, and this explains why they cost a fortune. So if you opt for real diamonds, make sure that the money you will spent is indeed worth the buy. There are several factors to be considered in choosing your favorit diamond earrings that will fairly match the money that you are willing to spend. Among these factors are color, clarity, cut, and symmetry.
Which Color is the Best?
The first characteristic to consider is the color. The so-called fire or spectrum of colors is truly a great sight to behold, especially for colorless diamonds. The transparency of this gem serves as the prism that divides the colors, paving the way to its spread, or burst. Colored diamonds, however, can block the light, and, thus, fewer colors are reflected. The color of diamonds may range from D to Z, with D referring to colorless types. The more the colors, the less light burst or spread. Color is one of the vital factors considered in determining the price or value.
How Clear Should It be?
Diamonds that are free from stains are the most expensive. Clarity does not actually mean free from flaws since original diamonds have scratches or inclusions that may seemingly affect the beauty of the gem, but they are often not clearly seen by the naked eye unless it is closely inspected. Other inclusions like small particles of crystals or metals can also affect its clarity, but it may not actually affect the price unless you are trained enough to see it. It may even require a special type of magnifying glass to know if there are inclusions or scratches.
How About the Cut?
Cut does not actually refer to shape of the diamond but rather to proportions of the sides, including the depth and width. The cut of a diamond can affect its brilliance and durability. The diamond may have the perfect clarity and color, but its beauty can still be negatively affected if the cut is not properly made. The brilliance is specifically determined by the roundness, width, and depth of cuts which may have the greatest effects on the overall beauty of the gem. The reflection of the light is also dependent on the proportions of the cut.
Symmetry?
Symmetry refers to the pattern of alignment of the surfaces of facets comprising the diamond. It can be measured in grades, which may range from good to very good on up to excellent. Perfect symmetry can project the light that enters into the diamond. Poor symmetry, however, can also cause poor direction of light.
