I have been learning about how diamonds are graded and how to appreciate its value. I also like looking at diamond to check out if any flaw in them.
If you are looking to buy one, you need to understand its grading system. The characteristics of a diamond are Cut, Carat, Color, Clarity and Certification. The 5Cs. The color ranges from D to Z. D being colorless and Z being yellowish. A D color diamond is more precious.
Carat is the weight of the diamond. The heavier it is the more valuable it will be. Diamonds come in many types of cut from round brilliant diamond to the princess cut. I would prefer round diamonds.
Clarity will indicate whether the diamond has any flaws like blemishes within the stone. It is graded with FL (Flawless), IF (Internally Flawless), VVS1, VVS2 (Very Very Slight Included), VS1, VS2 (Very Slight Included), SI1, SI2, SI3 (Slightly Included), I1, I2 and I3 (Included). Anyone would want a flawless diamond here.
Today, there are many types of certification that are recognized like GIA, AGS, EGL and others. You can resale your diamond if it comes with certification.
