How to save on diamonds
'29.06.2017'
Knowledge saves. As you may know from my previous article, the characteristics of diamonds are expressed in its weight, color, purity and cut.
Now I want to pay attention to precisely cut. After all, many people think that this is a diamond shape.
The cut in rule 4C describes the quality of polishing, symmetry and cut level, which are evaluated in the following terms: excellent, very good, good, fair, poor.
Based on simple logic and knowledge of English, you can understand which designation has the greatest value.
For example, a stone with three indicators excellent will have the highest value, unlike stones with different polishing, symmetry and galley levels. Visually, without using special equipment, you can not distinguish good from excellent. Therefore, if you do not make an investment, but simply take a diamond for everyday use, you can not chase the standard, and knock out a big discount on good stones.
Another secret to getting a big discount is a game with a level of fluorescence (the level of glow of a stone). It can be muddy, it can be with different shades and is indicated as follows: none, faint, medium, strong, very strong. A very strong level of fluorescence can only be taken if there is a color shade that can even out the best color and give white to the stone. From medium to strong, it is possible to combine with the TOP COMMERCIAL category of diamonds, where fluorescence will play the role of “bleach”.
Other levels of glow do not affect the appearance of the stone, but only be able to make a more pleasant price. Under the condition of investing in diamonds, it is better to take stones with an indicator none.
Another factor affecting the pricing of a stone is its cut, in terms of shape. The classic diamond is a 57-faceted circle. All the rest are so-called fancy diamonds. Cushion, princess, marquis, oval, emerald, asher, drop, radiant, heart and others. Fancy diamonds are generally 20% cheaper than a classic round diamond.
Based on the above, we can conclude: knowing that you buy, you can make the most profitable purchase!
Please yourself and loved ones! Use diamonds for aesthetic and conservation purposes, as I will discuss in the next article.
