Loose Diamonds - The price factor

Loose diamonds can have various prices which are based upon several factors. First of all the 4Cs (carat, cut, color, clarity) are important. If you understand these criteria you can be confident that you'll buy the diamonds at the best price. The cut determines a diamond's brilliance, the price is higher when a diamond's cut is better. The color scale generally evaluates the internal tint of a diamond. Colorless diamonds are the most valued. External blemishes that are evaluated by a qualified gemologist are defined as the clarity. Whilst a carat is a measure of weight. It is no wonder that small diamonds of several points are less expensive. All diamonds should have a certificate which contains the diamond's individual characteristics that make up its value. Laboratories for certification perform an examination and a grading of diamonds. The most noted is GIA - the Gemological Institute of America.
