June 2nd, 2009

Whether you want to get a Journey diamond necklace or any other type, there are a few tips that are going to be helpful for you and ensure that you make the best purchase here. More than anything there are the four C’s to buying a diamond necklace that you want to be aware of, and which will help you get more educated so that you will be less confused and more aware.

Diamond Necklace Cut

The first of the four C’s is cut. When you are looking for a diamond necklace you have to be aware of the cut. This does not refer to the shape of the diamond but instead its reflective qualities. For a diamond necklace you are going to have to be aware of the cut, as this is perhaps the most important of all the four C’s.

When a diamond is well cut, the light will enter through the table and travel to the pavilion and then reflect back out the other side. Therefore, when you find a well cut diamond, it will be very brilliant and reflective.

Diamond Necklace Clarity

Next is the clarity of the diamond, which you also want to be aware of when buying a diamond necklace. Diamonds are graded for clarity under 10x loupe magnification, and you want to be aware of the flaws in a diamond. The fewer flaws there are, the more expensive it is going to be.

Bright Color Diamond Necklace
The color is very important, and this is most on personal preference. The colorless diamonds are still the most popular although other colors are quickly gaining in popularity including yellow and pink. It really all depends on what color you like, but be aware that the colorless diamonds are those which are most reflective of light.

Diamond Necklace Carat Weight

Finally when purchasing a diamond necklace you are going to need to find out the carat weight. A carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured and keep in mind that because large diamonds are found less commonly than the smaller diamonds, they are more valuable.

Besides learning about the four C’s, another important step to take is to ask the jeweler that you are doing business with to offer you the diamond piece’s certificate.

This is very important information, all of which is going to be extremely helpful in assisting you when you are out choosing a diamond piece. The more informed that you are the better off and less confused you are going to be.

Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...
