The four C's of purchasing the precious stone for a diamond engagement ring are Clarity, Colour, Carat and Cut.
The cut is the ultimate C of picking diamonds and one of the most confusing to comprehend. This is exactly the part where you ask "Does it truly matter?" Hmm...Yes it does! A lot.
It is significant to understand that cut of diamonds are a lot more than the external shape of these precious stones. The cut even refers to how the diamond reflects the light. Have you noticed when people refer to someone's diamond ring as "blinding"? They are merely describing the diamond's cut. The "blinding light" works when light enters the diamond with the help of the stone's flat, called as "the table". The light then travels to the stone's base, which is known as the "pavilion". The light mirrors from one side to the other, prior to being sent back the stone's base and then to the eyes of the observer.
The criteria of any cut is important for assessing the value of the ring. That's the reason the grading system was put in place with a view to make it easier to buy a diamond ring; in this way, you won't end up paying too much for the diamond engagement ring you have selected. The perfect diamond ring is obviously at the very pinnacle of the grading system, which is followed by:
* Premium cut * Very good cut * great cut * Poor cut
An ideal diamond cut is purely renowned for its light reflecting quality. Perfect diamonds are renowned for their smaller tables and propel absolute brilliance! These expensive diamonds are MERELY available in rounded shapes and project light that could be really blinding. The premium cut diamonds are quite similar to the perfect cut diamonds and are a lot less expensive. They are accessible in other shapes as well. The very good and great cuts are really great and are easier on the pocket.
The important feature to consider when purchasing these varieties of diamonds is not the brilliance that they project, but the size. The diamonds are bigger and even though the reflective qualities are great, the sizes are quite a bit off. As pointed out previously, the very good and the good cut diamonds are not as costly as the perfect and premium cuts; they are yet deemed to be excellent investments. A poor cut diamond is often bought by those who are a lot more concerned about the size and the carat weight of the diamond than the quality of the precious stone.
