Diamond Rings
Diamonds are available in varying colours, sizes and qualities. They naturally occur in colours ranging from very clear fine whites to pinks, bright yellows, greens and browns. The majority of diamonds used in jewellery today are white diamonds.
The value of a white diamond is determined by what are commonly referred to as the 4Cs. The 4Cs are the diamond’s Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat. Each of the 4Cs are important and the most valuable diamonds are those that possess the best of all four measurements.
You can determine a diamond’s beauty up to a point with the naked eye. What you’re looking for when buying diamonds is fire, sparkle and brilliance — that flash of light that happens when a woman wearing a diamond ring moves her hand, so that light enters the stone from different angles and is reflected back to you. You’re also looking for colour and clarity, which are harder to determine with the naked eye, yet critical contributors to a diamond’s beauty.
