Is it absolutely clear now?! Can you see it?! How could you possibly determine whether the diamond you are buying is worth for the cost and truly genuine?!
Below are some  qualities of diamond which may be helpful for you.

In buying something there are things which you should consider. Whatever those things are of course the first thing you will check is the quality of a product.

How clean a diamond is reflects with its clarity. Whether if it has no blemishes or any insertions whenever it will be observe by the eye or by a magnifier.

To select a good quality when buying a diamond you should be familiar of some terms.

The blemishes which I have mentioned earlier are flaws on the surface of a diamond. If there’s any missing piece that is what we call ‘CHIP’ and any scrape is what we can consider a ‘SCRATCH.’

Any crack found is considered as a ‘FRACTURE’. Sometimes during polishing stage there are fine lines being left which is called ‘POLISHING LINES.’ While the ‘NATURAL’ is the unpolished part.

In polishing a diamond you may encounter an ‘EXTRA FACETS’ which shouldn’t be present. These are excess polished surfaces which messes up the symmetry of a diamond.

‘BEARDING’ on the other hand are tiny fractures that can be found on the edge of a diamond.

‘INCLUSIONS/INSERTIONS’ are some imperfection which may be found inside it.

If you happen to find black spots inside the gem it is ‘CARBON’, while a white spot i s called ‘CRYSTAL’. An internal cracking is called ‘FEATHER.’ Tiny spots called ‘PINPOINT’ happened to be smaller than a crystal and a group of it is identified to as ‘CLOUD’ that gives large inclusion.

Surprising your girlfriend with a beautiful diamond ring is a moment both of you will cherish your entire life. A once in a lifetime occasion, buying a diamond ring should be done carefully as your fiancée will wear it everyday, showing it off to her friends and family members, flaunting your love.

The market is flooded with numerous jewelers and shops claiming to sell the most authentic and beautiful diamonds there are. To make the right choice from the plethora of designs and variety can indeed be a confusing task. It would do you good to be aware of some basic tips on buying diamond jewelry before you buy one for your girlfriend. The ‘four c’s’, color, cut, clarity and carat, are the deciding factors for a diamond’s purity and value. This king of gems comes in all colors, with white being the purest and costliest. Although it is the hardest stone available, diamond can be cut in a variety of fancy shapes and sizes. The shape and cut determines the shine of the gem.

One should choose the shape of the diamond according to your girlfriend’s personality. If she is dainty– buy a small elegant one; tall and well-buily? go for a large squarish rock. The sparkle of the diamond often holds more importance than the rock’s size. Clarity of the diamond ensures a dazzling shine every time the light passes through the stone. Carat, or the weight of diamond, also contributes to its price and value in the market.

Educating yourself about the ‘four c’s’ will keep you from buying imitations. Even though it is conventional to spend two months salary on your engagement ring, you can buy synthetic diamonds, which will be easier on your wallet. Synthetic diamond has the same physical properties of a real diamond but is more affordable than the real one. Finally, do ask the jeweler to provide a purity certificate, which will serve as a guarantee and later help in insuring your gems.
