And, like delicate, precious snowflakes, no two loose diamonds are exactly alike. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nor would we want them to be. The exquisite nature of loose diamonds is precisely their appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Education\"><strong>perfect loose diamond<\/strong><\/a> will always offer exceptional artistry as standard. Its magnificent quality will make it easy to create a unique, personalized piece of jewelry. Its delicate grace will beautifully complete your engagement ring or anniversary setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Loose Diamonds &#8211; What is Perfection?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what is the perfect loose diamond? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it majestic because of its rarity? Is it spectacular because of its value? Or, does it inspire because it sparkles so splendidly?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all of these may be true, the real truth is something far more personal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The loose diamond that you are seeking is also seeking you. That is because the perfect loose diamond is a diamond that is perfect for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are, of course, certain qualities to look out for to ensure your pick is perfect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s our quintessential guide to help you\u00a0pick the perfect diamond for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>Certification <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The very first major decision you will make when shopping for loose diamonds is the precise nature of certification you require. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is arguably no greater certification than the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gia.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gemological Institute of America<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or GIA and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.americangemsociety.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Gem Society<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or AGS. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Acclaimed across the world for their stringent and precise grading standards, the GIA and AGS grant high ratings to only the most superior diamonds. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We consider there to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/index.php\/2015\/07\/13\/gia-vs-egl-vs-ags\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no greater certification than that offered by the GIA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is the gold standard in the field of diamond certification. Operating as a non-profit, its objectivity is guaranteed and its standards are beyond reproach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GIA has been the pioneering agency in many techniques and processes. In fact, many of its innovations have served to make all competing diamond labs what they are today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when you&#8217;re shopping for loose diamonds, make sure that the diamond you choose has been certified to a standard that you are supremely happy with.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The 4 Cs of Diamond Quality <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a universally accepted method for assessing the quality of loose diamonds. Created by the GIA and globally accepted as a universal language in diamond quality, it comes in the form of the 4 Cs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Color<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clarity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carat<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All diamonds share these four attributes. The key to ensuring the perfect pick is to understand how these four features affect the quality, rarity, and beauty of your diamond. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Diamond Color<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Education\/Diamond-Color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loose diamonds come in a variety of hues<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ranging from colorless diamonds to ones that are more yellow or brown. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When certified specialists are evaluating diamonds, they do it based on the absence of color. In GIA standards, diamonds are classified from D &#8211; colorless to Z &#8211; light yellow or brown. The less color, the higher the grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond has no hue at all. As you can imagine, a truly colorless diamond is a rarity and its value will always reflect this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is what all of this means for you:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are looking for the perfect diamond, what you are really looking for is a diamond that is as close to colorless as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Diamond Clarity<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you consider the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/geology.com\/articles\/diamonds-from-coal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">extreme heat and pressure that combine in nature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to form a diamond, it comes as no surprise that almost no diamond is perfectly pure. Most will contain natural flaws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scale of perfection in diamond clarity refers to the absence of inclusions and blemishes. Inclusions are the internal characteristics of the diamond itself, while blemishes are the external characteristics. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Education\/Diamond-Clarity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GIA has 11 clarity grades for diamonds<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, operating on a sliding scale of perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the top end, a diamond is categorized as flawless if it is without any inclusion or blemish at 10 times magnification.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the lower end, it is given a grade called I3, if inclusions and blemishes are obvious.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thing to remember about flaws is that they don&#8217;t affect the beauty of the diamond. They primarily affect the value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many blemishes are so minute that they cannot be seen by anyone other than a trained professional. Many other flaws can be hidden by setting or the mount.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Diamond Cut<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we refer to a diamond&#8217;s cut, we&#8217;re talking about its design, its proportion, its finish and its craftsmanship. All GIA certified diamonds are given a grade range of any of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very Good<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fair<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cut of your diamond is probably the most important consideration in your search for perfection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is this?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Education\/Diamond-Cut\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the cut of your diamond directly affects its sparkle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The brilliance of a diamond lies in its incredible ability to interact with light. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you want a diamond with an amazing sparkle, you need to focus on how successfully your diamond unleashes its light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for the following criteria in visual effects:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Brightness<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; internal and external white light reflected from the diamond<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Fire<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; the scattering of white light into all the colors of the rainbow<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Scintillation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; the amount of sparkle a diamond produces and the pattern of light and dark areas caused by reflections.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A diamond&#8217;s cut grade is really concerned with how successfully it interacts with light. Put simply, the better the cut, the more brilliant the diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Diamond Carat<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Education\/Carat-Weight\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diamonds are measured in carats<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is actually a unit of weight, though there is a common misconception that &#8216;carat&#8217; refers to size. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the carat size of a diamond increases, the diamond&#8217;s price increases exponentially.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why? Because, the larger the diamond, the more increasingly rare and desirable it is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people believe that a diamond&#8217;s value is determined only by its carat size. This is not the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two diamonds of equal carat weight may actually have very different values. This is because diamonds are not valued using just one of the 4 Cs, rather they are valued using all of the 4 Cs taken together as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Perfect Loose Diamond <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you have the knowledge you need, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/Diamonds\/Search\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">choosing the perfect loose diamond<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has never been so exhilarating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When purchasing a diamond, ensuring that it comes with unparalleled certification is not only good advice, it&#8217;s an absolute must.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering the 4 Cs will ensure that you choose a diamond that does you justice; A diamond that is as dazzling as it is remarkable; as alluring as it is breathtaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your instinct and intuition will take care of the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifetime brilliance in a diamond is just a step away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, diamonds really are forever and magnificence never goes out of style.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every diamond is a miracle, millions of years in the making.
