Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
The word “diamond’s are a girl’s best friend” came from a song depicting that a man’s love is shown not through kisses on the hand, but through the act of giving expensive diamond jewellery to his loved one. Marilyn Monroe made the words “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” famous and even today the sparkling dazzle of these stones are worn with great elegance in the glamorous world of Hollywood.
It should however, be remembered that diamonds are a girl’s friend only if the four C’s are respected when selecting the perfect stone for a setting in the jewellery of choice. As such consider Colour, Clarity, Cut, and Carat when selecting the stone for a setting.
Colour refers to the colour of the stone and the most valuable are the colourless stones. It however, should be noted that there are also some very rare yellow, brown, and pink stones.
Clarity refers to any visible flaws in the stones and as such purchase from a jeweller you can trust. It is best to ask for a certificate. The fewer the flaws, the higher the price. In today’s world it is not uncommon to find one or two flaws in the stone.
Cut refers to the facets of the stone and this is where the skill of the diamond cutter comes in. There are ovals, brilliant round, Asscher, Princess, Marquise and more cuts.
Carat refers to the weight of the stone and although a whopping size is impressive you will also have to consider the clarity, cut and colour when determining its value. Diamonds are indeed a girl’s best friend. Make the right choice by purchasing from experts such as Diamond Source.
