The Diamond’s Price
By Woro Swasti
Diamond price is definetely higher than other jewelry with no diamond on it. Diamonds are exclusive jewelry, some of them are very rare, this makes the diamond prices are expensive.
There are few things that influence the price of diamonds. These include the diamonds cut, color, clarity, and carat weight (4 Cs). Each of these measurement can either increase or decrease the diamond price.
Diamonds are cut in many shapes such as princess cut, emerald cut, oval, heart, round, and pear. Excellent cut grade diamonds will have higher price than good cut grade. Excellent or very good cut grade diamonds posses more sparkle and brilliance.
Color of the diamond also influences the diamond price. Colorless diamonds are the most expensive, as well as fancy color diamonds such as pink, green or blue diamonds. Black diamonds also have high price.
Diamonds clarity grade is the top measurement of the 4 Cs, this grade influence the diamond value more than the other factors. Diamond clarity grades of VVS1 or VVS2 are hard to find, these diamonds are almost pure. Therefore, diamonds with these high clarity grade have higher price. The most expensive clarity grade are diamonds with Internally Flawless Diamonds clarity grade. The lower diamond clarity grades include SI1 or SI2, these diamonds have lower diamonds price.
Diamond carat perhaps is the most common measurement that people recognize for determining the diamond price. Diamonds with bigger carat weight will have higher price. One carat equals to 200 milligrams or 0.2 g.
Two diamonds with different size could have the same carat weight. One diamond may appear bigger on the surface, but shallow in depth. The other may looks smaller, but heavy in the bottom. Both of them have the same carat weight.
