5 Tips on Choosing a Diamond

Choosing a diamond is difficult for both men and women because of the many elements that you have to take into account. Apart from the price, you do need to see whether a specific cut or clarity suits your personal style. Also, the carat has to be taken into consideration because this is directly proportional to the price.  Austin Diamond District put together 5 tips on how to choose a diamond.  Visit their site here - http://austindiamonddistrict.com.  

11.     Cut
There are many cuts available and choosing one out of the many might be difficult. In this case, it is important to do research or try out specific cuts before committing to one. There are certain cuts that would look best depending on how tall or lean your fingers are.

22.     Color
If you want to have the highest quality diamonds and you have the money to pay for it, go for a colorless one. However, if you are working within a certain budget, you can look for diamonds that are a tad bit cloudy but are worth the price. There are those that still look colorless to the naked eye. There are also diamonds which have hues in them, however, they do come with a price.

33.     Clarity
If the diamond is flawless to perfection, expect that it comes with a good price tag. To the inexperienced eye, diamonds with natural inclusions may look all the same. If you are really particular about the clarity, you may ask the jeweler for the stone’s GIA grading report.

44.     Carat

This specific component is where almost all decisions are derived from. Most women don’t consider the color, clarity and cut if the stone’s carat is huge. However, for people who are mindful of the diamond’s quality or are enthusiasts and collectors, the size doesn’t really matter.
