Home >> Education >> Diamond Education Diamond EducationA diamond is made of carbon that is crystallized. In fact a diamond is more than 99.95% pure carbon. The remaining .05% of the elements often influences the crystal's shape and colour, making it the purest of earth's gemstones. It is the hardest natural substance known to man. When the stone is cut to the correct proportions, it is able to gather the light within itself, and reflect the light back out in a shower of fire and brilliance. No other gemstone comes close.
The Four C's To the inexperienced eye, two diamonds may look exactly
the same, leaving you wondering why there is such a difference
in price. So before you go shopping for a diamond ring,
you should learn a little about what determines their beauty,
quality, rarity and price. This is known as the four Cs:
Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat.
Certification Before purchasing a diamond, review a copy of its grading
report, as this is your guarantee of quality for that diamond.
