Most Rare Colored Diamond

Diamonds are the most expensive stone and used as jewelry for women but most of individuals do not know that it has several colors. More or less in twenty years of explorin g diamond rings, only five (5) colored diamonds have found. Four of them were certified natural diamond.

There are some people do not realized that the colored diamonds are the most expensive and very rare. Pink diamond is one of the rarest and most desirable colored diamonds. Top 1 of 66

largest diamonds is pink. There are several famous pink diamonds but Darya-i-Nur is the largest known pink diamond in the world with 185 carats. Majority of Jewelers had never seen such as rare as diamond like pink diamond and uncommon to those jewelry users or even never own one.

In latest years, handling processes have been developed to change the color of some diamonds. Nearly all of the pink diamonds we have bought are natural but we are also glad to buy improved or treated pink diamonds. Sometimes enhanced pink diamonds are more costly to use as jewelry than common colorless ones with the comparable quality. But still, natural pink diamonds are more precious than enhanced much more if it has deeper color.

If we compare the diamonds to Rubies and Sapphires, diamonds are mostly used by jewelry enthusiasts because it has sparkle which the two do not possess. And it is also more times harder and durable.

Diamond Stud Earrings

Diamond studs are just two diamonds in mountings, right? So why do prices vary so much? The jeweler on TV says 2 carat diamond studs are $3999 and Tiffany says they’re $30,000. What the heck is going on here?

Quick Tips:

1) Diamonds under 1/2 carat each don’t always need lab reports; however, if you want to be sure you’re getting accurately graded diamonds that are well cut, a lab report is a must. This is especially true if you intend to get big diamonds, ranging from 1 carat or more each. Often times the cut is never described at all. Diamond studs are given the more poorly cut bottom heavy stones more often than engagement rings. So always ask for a lab report, and ask your jeweler to prove they are well cut (such as providing you with a GIA report of Very Good or Excellent Cut). After all, what’s the point of getting larger quality diamonds if they don’t sparkle?

2) Some diamond dealers can be vague with what you are really getting for the carat weight. For example, if you’re getting 2 carat total weight, sometimes the dealers have a range of 1.96cttw to 2.06cttw, and yes, you usually get less than 2 carats, surprise! It’s always in fine print somewhere. Sometimes they will actually give you 2 carats total weight; however, one may be 1.02ct and the other 0.98ct. Obviously one is worth much more then the other. Some people don’t care, others care quite a bit. That’s why a lab report as discussed above is so helpful. But always find out what the actual carat weight of your diamond studs are rather than just be given a range.

3) Diamond quality is still important when buying studs. Although no one is going to go and look right at your ear to see the flaws in your studs, they will still not sparkle nicely across the room if they have several flaws or are a yellow color. With engagement rings, we often recommend VS2-SI1 clarity and G-H color. For diamond studs however, you can go down to SI2 clarity or even I1 if they are accurately graded by the GIA or AGS. Though I-K colors are affordable for studs, G-H colors still look best in our opinion. Yet the stated diamond grades mean nothing if the grading is not accurate. Make sure to work with a reputable jeweler who deals in diamonds with quality lab reports such as GIA or AGS, or have them independently appraised after purchase during the return grace period given by your jeweler.

4) Unlike rings or bracelets that can get so abused, metal selection in diamond studs is not as critical. We still suggest you get platinum if your budget allows; however, white gold is usually just fine for most. Some women can be allergic to 14K white gold alloys made with nickel, so you may want to ask your jeweler to be sure there is no nickel or get 18K white gold mountings for your diamond studs instead just to be sure.

Engagement Rings

Diamond engagement rings are often seen as the ultimate symbol of love and commitment, but for many men they also bring anxiety and fear. How do you know you’re getting the best deal? What style ring should you get? Can you trust the diamond you’re getting is really the quality the jeweler says it is?

Quick Tips:

1) Never buy the ring and the diamond together.

While there is nothing wrong with buying the diamond and the ring from the same jeweler, don’t make the mistake of overpaying for the diamond or the ring separately by not understanding of what each cost on their own and doing comparison shopping.

2) Always require a GIA or AGS lab report for your diamond.

While most jewelers are honest, some unfortunately are not; some will knowingly sell diamonds that they know are inaccurately graded. These diamonds come from lower tier labs such as EGL, IGI, etc. Don’t let them otherwise convince you that the stone they are selling is great diamond at a rock bottom price. While it may be true some lower tier labs do grade accurately from time to time, the rarest and most expensive gems are only traded in confidence by jewelers when they are accompanied by a GIA or AGS grading report.

3) There is no such as thing as a diamond wholesaler / retailer.

Jewelers either sell wholesale or retail, not both. In fact it is illegal and a deceptive business practice for a jeweler to claim to sell both.

While is true that margins vary from dealer to dealer, it’s amazing how many consumers believe they can buy diamonds at “wholesale” prices or below. Diamonds are a commodity and while the occasional deal may surface every once and while when various retailers are compared, diamond buyers will always deal with a diamond retailer.

How To Find The Best Value Diamonds

Choosing best value diamonds is very subjective because what would represent best value to one customer would be way out of the reach of another. By taking a look at the way in which diamonds are appraised it is possible to see which diamonds would be the best value for you.

Not all diamonds are colorless, which is something that factors into the cost of a diamond. According to gemologists, such as those that carry out appraisals of EGL loose diamonds, the most expensive diamonds are those that have some color.

For GIA diamond rings, the diamond that is being appraised is placed next to a master stone that has been previously graded by this institute. Then it is compared to the master stone in terms of color quality under an ultra violet light. It may take the use of several of these master stones before a match or a close match is found.

Of course the best color for a diamond is none at all, showing that the diamond is pure. There is also a color grading scale to categorize the diamonds. The AGS (American Gem Society) used numbers to grade the color of a diamond, but the other appraisal societies use letter grades. Colorless diamonds have a grade of D, E or F, which is the highest.

Those that are almost colorless have a grade of G to J. Faint yellow diamonds are graded between K and M. The list proceeds to very light yellow with grades between N and R, and light yellow has grades from S to W. Fancy, yellow best value diamonds are graded X, Y, or Z.

The above examples are for grading yellow diamonds. There is a grading chart for other colors of diamonds that work in the same way. The most expensive diamond you can buy is a red diamond, which has a value of about $1 million per carat.

The number of carats in the diamond is another factor in considering whether you have best value diamonds. Carat is the easiest of the four C’s of diamond appraisal to understand. It refers to the weight and measurement of the stone. It is only natural that the larger the diamond the greater the carat and therefore the more expensive it is.

What many people do not realize is that the cut of the diamond plays a part in determining the carat weight. This is why the cut of the diamond plays an important role in the price and in determining whether or not you have best value diamonds. The main diamond cuts for rings and pieces of jewelry are:

• Emerald

• Princess

• Marquise

• Oval

• Round

• Pear

• Trillion

When appraising the cut of EGL loose diamonds or GIA diamond rings, gemologists also look at the precision of the cut because this can cause imperfections in the diamond and the way in which it catches the light. One of the main aspects is the symmetry of all the facets or points of the diamonds. The way in which the diamond is finished and polished also comes into play in determining the overall value.

Experts recommend that when you are buying a diamond for an engagement ring, you should be prepared to spend at least two month’s salary. For most people, the only diamond ring they ever buy or receive is a diamond engagement ring, while for others buying diamonds and diamond jewelry is an everyday occurrence that doesn’t affect their bank account in any major way. You may look at a diamond and think it is a wonderful choice because of your budget and another customer would pass it by moving immediately to a more expensive diamond.
