Brilliant Diamond Bracelet
Do not wear your diamond ring when doing rough jobs such as cleaning or gardening. Catching in things can damage prongs and settings. Diamonds, even though the hardest of stones, can be chipped by a hard knock.
Diamond Ring
Check the prongs of your rings regularly as they can catch in your clothes when you are dressing. The damage caused to the prong may lead you to lose your diamond. You can sometimes tell if damage has been done if the ring keeps catching in your clothes and on close examination, you can see the prong is either missing or raised from the stone.
Since diamonds are extracted from the film of the Earth, they come accompanied with natural and innate flaws that are called blemishes when they appear on the surface of the stone and inclusions when they are internally embedded in the stone. A diamond’s clarity, when viewed closely with the help of 10x magnifying loupe is visible. Since diamonds are a high-end purchase, using a little wisdom may help you acquire a good diamond at a fair price. Especially if you settle for the ‘Very Slightly Included’ (VS1, VS2) and ‘Slightly Included’ (SI1, SI2) grades of diamonds. These stones have a fine balance of quality and cost, and therefore make a great buy.

Cut is the most important criteria to be considered while buying a diamond. Cut refers to the pattern of angled facets on the surface of the stone. Cut should not be confused with shape. While shape refers to the physical form or contour of the stone, cut is a blend of features like symmetry, depth, crown and pavilion angles, uniformity of facets, quality of polish etc. In a nutshell cut should be such that it reflects maximum light entering the stone adding to its brilliance.
