The
professionals at ABQ Gold & Silver have the knowledge and years of
experience to asses any quality of diamond. Before you make your special
purchase, follow the 4C’s of diamond quality to check the value of your diamond
below.
The 4Cs
of diamond quality are:
- Color: Diamonds come in many colors. Diamonds that range from colorless to yellow fall within the normal color range. Colorless diamonds are the unique and the most valuable. Colorless diamonds set the standard for classifying and assessing other diamonds in the standard color spectrum.
- Clarity: Diamonds have inner features, called inclusions, and surface irregularities, called blemishes. Clarity is the absence of these inclusions and blemishes. Blemishes also include scratches or grooves on a diamond’s exterior.
- Cut: The term cut can sometimes describe the diamonds overall shape. However, a diamond's cut grade determines how well a diamond's surfaces reflects with light. This is how well the diamond shines and glimmers.
- Carat Weight (size): Diamonds are weighed to a thousandth (0.001) of a carat and then rounded to the nearest hundredth, or point. Fractions of a carat can mean price differences of hundreds to thousands of dollars, contingent on diamond quality.
