The
gem is graded as per
the 4 C’s, which comprise
cut,
clarity,
color, and
carat weight.
Cut contributes to
brilliance, and it is important to consider that while choosing a
diamond engagement ring. It is also equally important to consider its
clarity grade. Not all
diamonds are of
gem-quality or grade. For instance,
diamonds with
P1 or P2 grades are not typically
gem-grade
diamonds, as very little natural light passes through them in an inviting manner. Yet again, they show up in the market since they are, after all,
diamonds, although only industrial-grade. They have inclusions that are visible to the naked eye and are not as
brilliant as you except
gem-quality
diamonds to be.
Prior to buying a
diamond, be wary of advertisements like ones that promote a
“one-
carat diamond ring at an extremely low price”. For all you know, the
diamond ring advertisement could be misleading. Stay wary of buying a sub-
gem-grade
diamond.
