DIAMOND EARRINGS TIPS !

Tips for buying Diamond EARRINGS:

The following are the steps to be followed while BUYING the diamond earrings.A diamond's WEIGHT is measured by a carat which is equal to 200 milligrams. It is important to note that a DIAMONDS CARAT is not the only thing that determines the value of the diamond. Bigger is not always better.
A diamond's ability to refract and reflect light is what makes it so brilliant and so valuable. The proportions a diamond is cut, it determines how the diamond sparkles. Cut is the result of a CRAFTSMAN'S skill in transforming a rough diamond into a breathtaking gem.
A diamond cut too shallow won't reflect enough light back up toward your EYE which will result in a diamond that doesn't sparkle as much as it could. Once you receive the ring, have an independent expert view it. This goes for whether you BUY ONLINE or at a local JEWELER. Very important is that make sure your diamond earrings come with a grading certificate from an accredited gemological laboratory.
