How to choose diamonds

1. Color: Diamond color is divided into twenty-three grades from D to Z, ranging from colorless and transparent to yellow-brown. Among them, D grade is the highest grade of color, which is completely colorless. The color is transparent, and the other levels decrease in sequence. H can be regarded as the dividing line between a diamond’s transparency and opacity, because diamonds with an H color or later can see yellow pigment if observed carefully with the naked eye. Big brand diamonds are generally H and above. Therefore, it is recommended that H guarantee the minimum price if economic conditions permit.

2. Cut: The soul of a diamond is sparkle and fire. It is recommended that when purchasing, try to choose cuts of VG level, EX level and above.

3. Clarity: Compared with color and cut, clarity is not that important. After all, if you want to see clearly whether there are inclusions and flaws inside a diamond, you need a ten-fold magnifying glass. It is generally difficult to detect with the naked eye. Therefore, if it is less than 1 carat, VVS2-VS1 are good. If the score is below 50, I suggest that you can also choose the SI level, which will have little impact. If the diamond is 50 points or more, try to choose VS.
