Diamonds - Carats

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

You may hear of carat sizes being expressed as “points”, with a one carat diamond equaling 100 points, a one-half carat diamond being 50 points, a three-quarter carat diamond being 75 points.

The size of the carat along with the cut, colour and clarity determines its final price. 

Fact: A higher-quality, smaller stone may be worth more than a lower-quality, larger stone. 

Diamonds - Clarity

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

The term clarity is used to describe the degree of interior or exterior flaws when the stone is magnified. 

If there are large flaws in the diamond that can be seen without a magnifying glass than this will affect the beauty of the diamond, otherwise the flaws will only affects the value. 

Flawless diamonds have no impressions and are the most valuable and expensive diamonds.
