Every girl knows, a pair of diamond earrings can make an outfit and every man should know that a pair of diamond earrings makes the perfect gift for any occasion. When talking about diamonds, namely diamond earrings, you need to remember the 4 C’s.
Carat-weight
Carat is the most know of the four C’s. Carat, when talking about diamond earrings refers to the weight and therefore the size of the diamond. The way in which the carat of your diamond earrings is calculated is by dividing one carat into 100 points.
For example, a diamond weighing 50 points is half a carat. Size is the most obvious factor in determining the value of your diamond earrings.
Colour
Although those of you out there who don’t know about diamonds, namely diamond earrings, may feel they are all white, this is not the case. While most diamond earrings appear white many of them display hints of colour barely discernable to the naked eye. The closer the diamond in your diamond earrings approaches colourless, the rarer and more valuable they are.
Diamonds with a strong blue colour are extremely rare and are called 'fancies'. Amongst them can be found pink, blue, yellow, green and orange. If you are the round owner of a pair of diamond earrings described as ‘fancies’, you are a very lucky person.
Clarity
The clarity of your diamond earrings is determined by the degree to which it is free from naturally occurring inclusions, often called "nature's fingerprints".
The number, type, colour, size and position of the internal birthmarks can affect the value of your diamond earrings. Many of “nature’s fingerprints” are undetectable to the naked eye and require magnification under a standard 10x magnification loupe before they become apparent. The fewer inclusions found in your diamond earrings, the rarer the stone.
Cut
Cut is the only diamond characteristic directly influenced by man – the other three are dictated by nature. A good round brilliant cut diamond earring releases the life, fire and sparkle of a diamond through the arrangement and proportions of its 57 to 58 facets. Facets are tiny planes that create angles to reflect light. When the diamond for your diamond earrings is cut the light will reflect from one facet to another and disperse through the top of the stone, this will result in a display of brilliance and fire. Diamond earrings that are cut to deep or shallow lose light as it spills through the side or bottom.
The shape of the diamond in your diamond earrings is a matter of personal taste, with the round brilliant being the most popular of the shapes, especially for diamond earrings. Other shapes available include the emerald cut, pear shape, marquise, princess cut, oval and heart shape, all of which make perfect diamond earrings.
