A Diamond’s Unique Characteristics
Diamonds might not be the rarest gemstone known to man, but they have a set of unique characteristics that sets diamond jewelry apart from other gemstones and gives them a value beyond price. When considering a diamond jewelry purchase, a jeweler might first inform you of these special features of a diamond:
Unique Beauty
The beauty and inner fire of the diamond has made this precious gem prized for centuries. Each stone, like its owner, is endowed with a personality and character uniquely its own.
Durability
A diamond is the hardest substance known to man (ranking 10.0 on the Mohs Hardness Scale) and is resistant to deterioration. When cared for properly, diamond jewelry can be worn every day and passed on as an heirloom to future generations.
Enduring Value
Gem-quality diamonds have consistently retained their value, and most often have increased in value, after years of being worn and enjoyed.
4Cs of Diamonds
There are four factors that determine the value of a diamond, collectively known as the 4Cs of Diamonds: Carat, Clarity, Cut & Color. The Diamond 4Cs are so important to selecting the perfect stone for you that we cover them in depth.
