<p>Coloured Diamonds - cornerstones of wealth and secuirty. The diamonds were used in rings since the Middle Ages, and the first mention of a diamond engagement ring or wedding ring was in 1477. Because of the supernatural powers accredited to diamonds, they have become more popular, and the Italians say that a diamond has maintained harmony between husband and wife.</p>
<p>Diamonds also have a reputation for supernatural powers, such as protection against enemies, and the denial of magnets, which goes back thousands of years. Diamonds also play an important role in Hinduism and Buddhism, is the oldest dated book, the Diamond Sutra of 868, also mentions diamonds. Despite having a reputation for being very expensive,<br />
diamonds are affordable and can be a worthwhile investment. Whether the choice of a diamond solitaire ring, earrings or diamond certified loose diamonds, there are several things to take into consideration to ensure that you buy the right diamond for your needs . Here 8 tips to help you choose the best diamond.</p>
<p>1. Diamonds are sold by weight, so the weight is also on the size of the diamond. A carat is divided into 100 points. A diamond weighing 50 points is half a carat. As the weight, cut, color and clarity are all very important when choosing a solitaire ring, earrings or other diamond diamond jewellery. Carat The term is used to measure the weight of a diamond, and is equivalent to 0.2g. The term has come carat of English and french means the fruit of the carob. Carob seeds were traditionally used as a measure of weight because the seeds are all very similar in size. Other countries have their own carats, which is approximately the same size as a carob seed, and it was not until 1914 that the carat was normalized to 0.2 in the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>2. The cut diamond is the only aspect that can be changed by humans. The weight, color and clarity are all to nature. A well-cut diamond has many facets that reflect light. When a diamond is cut, reflects the light from one side to another, to make a splash. A diamond is cut too deep or too little will lose the light and therefore not as much sparkle.</p>
<p>3. A diamond saw in a store jewellery, earrings or solo on a ring, is often transparent or slightly yellow. The whiter the diamond, the more valuable it is. Diamonds with a strong blue or pink, which are called their fantasies, and are very rare. However, diamonds are available in almost any color.</p>
<p>4. The clarity of a diamond is determined by the number of inclusions, which are caused by multiple stages of growth in training. The value of the diamond depends on the number and severity of these inclusions. The scale is the clarity of the diamonds without inclusions visible to the naked eye or with a magnifying glass, with inclusions of diamonds that can be seen with the naked eye.</p>
<p>5. Diamonds may be cut differently for different applications. A diamond earring could have another cup at a solitaire ring. The cuts are the most popular shiny, emerald, pear-shaped, marquise, princess, oval and heart. Brilliant-cut diamonds are shaped so that they reflect the light up and to show the diamond white from above. Sometimes, brilliant-cut diamonds appear darker in the centre, which may indicate that the cut is too deep or too deep and light is not reflecting the rise.</p>
<p>6. Loose diamonds can be purchased and then processed into your perfect piece of jewelry, such as earrings or diamond solitaire ring. The type of jewelry that diamonds are certified to help determine the size, shape and diamond cutting. A ring is likely to require a larger diamond as a pendant or earrings. These certified diamonds must be approved by an independent laboratory gemological, which acts as a guarantee that the diamonds are genuine, and not manufactured.</p>
<p>7. The purchase online will allow you to choose the right diamond jewellery to your needs without going into a store jewellers. In addition to being able to choose from a wider range, if you are looking for a bracelet or necklace of diamonds, significant savings can be made that the overhead costs are much lower.</p>
<p>8. Although diamonds are the hardest natural substance, it is always important to take care of your diamond. Diamonds may be chipped by a blow, and can remove other components, including other diamonds, and it is advisable not to wear a ring of rough diamonds, or when you make a manual work. Diamonds should also be cleaned regularly using jewelry cleaner.</p>

Most transparent minerals have, when pure, no color. Diamonds, being transparent, are no exception to this rule. Color is due to the presence of relatively small amounts of foreign substances, usually in metallic oxides. Iron oxide is one of the most common oxides, especially in diamonds. Sir William Crookes, the noted scientists, tells us that ash left when a diamond is burned in oxygen is largely iron oxide. The oxides that cause color in precious stones are thought by some to exist in very small particles, suspended, as it were, in the crystalline material. The particles are so small that they are invisible when viewed under a microscope. They cause a selective action upon white light that attempts to pass through the material, so that it comes out more or less colored. Light of certain colors is held up or absorbed, more than light of other colors, with the result that the light which emerges from the material is on longer white, as when it entered.</p>
<p>Iron as a colorant commonly produces yellow, brown, or sometimes red; a truly white diamond is very rare. Diamonds of a very light blue tint are scarce, but are more abundant that really snow-white stones. The presence or absence of color in a diamond exerts a very great effect on the value of a diamond. When goods are purchased in small or irregular lots that are less carefully graded, or when stones are taken into trade, the merchant needs to be able to discriminate the matter of color.</p>
<p>Aside from the diamonds which possess beautiful color, the tints in diamonds are pale and range from yellow and brown that is obvious, but not deep enough to be pretty. In such faint shades the presence of color cannot be seen by the average person, and at times not even by one trained, unless by direct comparison with stones known to be perfectly white.</p>
<p>It is the ability to detect these differences and determine how much color a stone carries, that successfully judging a diamond lies. The commercial value that goes along with the numerous grades may be learned in the trade, and the names that are applied. The most difficult part of grading a diamond is to definitely determine which class a certain stone belongs.</p>
<p>Artificial help in grading diamonds is one area that always needs covered. First of all, a diamond grader must not be color blind and also they cannot suffer from the lack of vivid perception. Practice and training is also necessary before great skill can be acquired. Given these prerequisites, how should one get the best results in grading?</p>
<p>First of all you need to have a good north light, unobstructed by any objects. There cannot be any colored surfaces near by to reflect tinted light. Second off, do not attempt to judge stones closely except in the middle of the day, between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. Very erroneous results may result if this precaution is neglected. Dark and gloomy days should also be avoided. You need to have lots of good neutral lights to make fine comparisons.</p>
<p>It is nearly impossible to make fine distinctions by artificial light. A gem with distinct tints of color will appear white by some kinds of artificial lights. If you have to make a decision in the evening, you may use a tungsten filament light. A tungsten filament light gives the nearest approach to daylight of any of the kinds of artificial light. It is not a good idea to attempt to grade stones in unfamiliar surroundings. If at all possible try to use the same place every time while studying the color of stones.</p>
<p>An essential is to have with you for comparison, stones whose color you are sure of. Rough distinctions can be made by people who are experienced, without the aid of a comparison. When it comes down to making a comparison between two very fine stones the absence of an aid makes it almost impossible.</p>
