―Basic that need to be clear if you want to buy
                  precious stone in the world‖




                From - Jewel Vogue
Diamonds and other gemstones are weighed in metric carats: one carat
   is equal to 0.2 grams, about the same weight as a paperclip. Diamond
   weights greater than one carat are expressed in carats and decimals. (For
   instance, a 1.08 ct. stone would be described as ―one point oh eight
   carats,‖ or ―one oh eight.‖)

     Just as a dollar is divided into 100 pennies, a carat is divided into 100 points. For example, a 50-point
     diamond weighs 0.50 carats. But two diamonds of equal weight can have very different values depending
     on the other members of the Four C’s: clarity, color and cut. The majority of diamonds used in fine
     jewelry weigh one carat or less.

   History Behind This Word
   The carat, the standard unit of weight for diamonds and other gemstones, takes its
   name from the carob seed. Because these small seeds had a fairly uniform weight,
   early gem traders used them as counterweights in their balance scales. The modern
   metric carat, equal to 0.2 grams, was adopted by the United States in 1913 and
   other countries soon after. Today, a carat weighs exactly the same in every corner
   of the world.



Jewel Vogue
Diamond color is all about what you can’t see. Diamonds are valued by
   how closely they approach colorlessness – the less color, the higher their
   value. (The exception to this is fancy-color diamonds, such as pinks and
   blues, which lie outside this color range.)

     GIA’s color-grading scale for diamonds is the industry standard. The scale begins with the letter D,
     representing colorless, and continues with increasing presence of color to the letter Z, or light yellow or
     brown. Each letter grade has a clearly defined range of color appearance. Diamonds are color-graded by
     comparing them to stones of known color under controlled lighting and precise viewing conditions.
     Many of these color distinctions are so subtle as to be invisible to the untrained eye. But these slight
     differences make a very big difference in diamond quality and price.

   Why does The GIA Color Grading Start at D?
   Before GIA developed the D-Z Color Grading Scale, a variety of other systems were
   loosely applied. These included letters of the alphabet (A, B and C, with multiple A’s
   for the best stones), Arabic (0, 1, 2, 3) and Roman (I, II, III) numerals, and
   descriptions such as ―gem blue‖ or ―blue white.‖ The result of all these grading
   systems was inconsistency and inaccuracy. Because the creators of the GIA Color
   Scale wanted to start fresh, without any association with earlier systems, they chose
   to start with the letter D—a letter grade normally not associated with top quality.


Jewel Vogue
Every diamond is unique. None is absolutely perfect under 10×
   magnification, though some come close. Known as Flawless diamonds,
   these are exceptionally rare. Most jewelers have never even seen one.
     Diamond clarity refers to the absence of these inclusions and blemishes. Diamonds without these
     birthmarks are rare, and rarity affects a diamond’s value. Using the GIA International Diamond Grading
     System™, diamonds are assigned a clarity grade that ranges from flawless (FL) to diamonds with
     obvious inclusions (I3).




   How did the GIA Clarity Scale come about?
   Like the color scale, GIA’s clarity grading system developed because jewelers were
   using terms that were easily misinterpreted, such as "loupe clean," or "piqué."
   Today, even if you buy a diamond in another part of the world, the jeweler will
   likely use terms such as VVS1 or SI2, even if her language is French or Japanese
   instead of English.




Jewel Vogue
Cut is the factor that fuels a diamond’s fire, sparkle and brilliance.
     The traditional 58 facets in a round brilliant diamond, each precisely cut and defined, are as small as two
     millimeters in diameter. But without this precision, a diamond wouldn’t be nearly as beautiful. The allure
     of a particular diamond depends more on cut than anything else. eye. But these slight differences make a
     very big difference in diamond quality and price.

     Though extremely difficult to analyze or quantify, the cut of any diamond has three attributes: brilliance
     (the total light reflected from a diamond), fire (the dispersion of light into the colors of the spectrum), and
     scintillation (the flashes of light, or sparkle, when a diamond is moved).




   How does pavilion depth affect a diamond CUT?
   The distance from the bottom of the girdle to the culet is the pavilion depth. A
   pavilion depth that’s too shallow or too deep will allow light to escape through the
   sides or the bottom of the stone. A well-cut diamond will direct more light through
   the crown..
