diamonds
"When it comes to an engagement, it's often the first time a man has had to put his hand so deeply into his pocket for something other than a car," says Garry Holloway, a diamond technician at the Gemological Association of Australia. According to a survey taken in this class, only 6 out of 14 student's plan on purchasing a diamond within 5 to 10 years. Just as well as 8 out of 14 students hope to receive a diamond within 1 to 5 years. Today, I will discuss the 4C's, which will affect the price of a diamond. All the men in this room are affected greatly by these factors, and I'm quite sure that some day you'll want to impress that special lady with the "bling-bling". And as we all know, diamonds are a girl's best friend.Carat Weight-The size and weight of stone is the biggest impact on the price. According to a class survey, only 3:14 students knew this. The more the weight, the more valuable it is. 1 Carat=0.2 grams is the standard weight for diamonds. Even though the size does matter, it's very important not to forget about the other 3C's, because it's just as important for the quality of the stone to be high. For example: some people may feel that it's better to have a 2-carat d
I1, I2, I3 - Imperfect - these stones have inclusions, which are easily seen to a naked eye. It is important to realize that when shopping for a diamond, viewing the diamond on a white cloth is important. White cloth allows the true color to come through, while on a black cloth, all the imperfections and colors are hidden. SI1, SI2 - Slightly Imperfect - these stones have inclusions, which are fairly easy to see under a loupe with a 10-power magnification. The price of a diamond of 1.00 carat of color "K" could be $900, however, if you'll move up to an "H" color, the price will increase by approximately $1700 per carat. So as you'll keep moving up the scale the price will keep moving up as well. The most popular cut is the crown. The light entering the top of the diamond will reflect internally and exit the crown making the diamond sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow. Price of diamond according to clarity, color, and carat weight: If we take a diamond which is 1 carat, color G with clarity SI1 and move it up to a VS1, we will pay approximately $1000 extra per carat. As the clarity increases we will pay about $700 per carat. VS1, VS2 - Very Slightly Imperfect - These stones have small inclusions, which are fairly easy to see under a loupe with a 10-power magnification
