Beverly Clark, author of Planning A Wedding To Remember, explains the criteria to considâ€" er when selecting a diamond. Colour â€" The clearer the diamond, the greater its value. Diamonds are graded on a scale. The greater the degree of color in the stone, the lower the stone‘s value, with the exception of very rare colored diaâ€" monds which are extremely valuable. Clear or colourâ€" less stones are referred to as perfect. Cut â€" Accuracy in cutting is essential to the beauty and sparkle of the diamond. The stones are proportioned and faceted to maximize the brilliance through their crowns. The brilliant or round cut is the most comâ€" mon. Other shapes include: oval, pear, marquise, emerald cut, and heartâ€"shaped. (At right: the soliâ€" taire remains the most popular choice.) Clarity â€" This is the term used to describe the degree of inclusions when the stone is magnified ten times. Inclusions are interior or exterior flaws. If they are large and noticeable without a magnifying glass, they will affect the beauty of the stone; otherwise, they will only affect the value. Carats â€" This is the size of the diamond. Color, cut, and clarity determine the perâ€"carat value. A higherâ€" quality, smaller diamond may be worth more than a lowerâ€"quality, larger stone.
