How to choose the right diamond earrings?
Let's look at the main criteria for choosing diamond earrings.
Four parameters of diamonds
Basically, everyone judges a product by its appearance. But stones have characteristics according to 4 parameters:
- shades;
- weight (multiplicity);
- cutting;
- purity of the stone.
Diamond Shades
Diamond earrings have different prices; buyers first look at the shades of the stones. Jewelers divide stones into the following shade categories:
- transparent;
- white;
- steel.
But each color contains nuances; more often you can see greyish, light yellow, pale coffee.
Important! They are considered rare - with a blue or greenish, pink tint.Red or dark black stones are extremely rare - their price will be the most expensive.
Color variations depend on the presence of microelements that absorb light rays. Only colorless stones transmit light evenly.
It is recommended to select stones to match the color of the skin and eyesso that they effectively seem to be reflected in your stones. Transparent stones are neutral and will suit everyone.
Weight (carats)
International diamond size – 1 carat (weight 0.2 g), there are very small stones measuring only 0.01 carats, but visually difficult to identify. So, 0.3 and 0.4 look the same to non-professionals.
Important! Determine the exact weight only on ultra-precise scales and in the jewelry passport.
The diameter depends on the size, approximately 9.40 mm = 3 carats, divided conventionally: small (up to 0.29 carats), medium (up to 0.99) and large (from 1).
Advice! When buying a gift, you should take into account that women with large facial features need large stones, and those with delicate features need medium and small ones.
Diamond Clarity
Scores from 1 to 12 were developed in the USA; average scores are on sale (from 5). Placing the stone in the center will reduce the sparkle, while the edges will reflect light more brightly.
Cut
Diamonds are unsightly stones; they only change radically after cutting, 3 varieties:
- stepped;
- round;
- wedge
Here, the main thing is that the edges on the stone are proportional.
