There are four C's when it comes to buying a
diamond: cut, clarity, color, and carat weight. All of
these must be considered because you want the
diamond used in your jewelry wholesale to be as
beautiful as possible. Remember that the diamond
should not overpower the entire piece, but it should
be the main attraction and compliment the rest of
the piece as well.
The cut of the diamond does not refer to the shape
of it. It refers to the way that it was cut the quality
of the cut. The shine and fluorescence of the
diamond is determined by how it was cut. The
shape of the diamond is only a second factor or
an after thought in terms of the quality of the cut.
The clarity of a diamond does not refer to how clear
it is. Instead, it refers to how perfect or flawless
or imperfect a diamond is. There are internal
imperfections and external imperfections. A
diamond that has no imperfections is flawless
and expensive.
Diamonds come in many colors. The most common
are white and yellow. Other colors are available, but
they are rare and expensive. The only color you
should never consider is a blue white' diamond. A
jeweler may try to tell you that this is a rare quality
diamond, but it is in fact an inferior diamond, and
you have no use for it.
The carat weight of the diamond will be important to
your customer. Large diamonds should come with
a certificate. You should request this from the
company that you are purchasing the diamond from.
If they refuse to give you a certificate from a
reputable grading company such as GIA, walk
away.
The chances are good that you will put more work
and thought into purchasing diamonds for your
jewelry wholesale than in any other gem or stone.
Diamonds are by far the most popular gemstones
in the world and with good reason. Not only are
they the most beautiful stones, but they are also
the most durable stones on the face of the earth
or under the earth for that matter!
