Summary:When you buy any product no matter what ever this product is, the 1st thing you should look for is the quality of this product
Have you ever asked your self about the diamond product you are buying does it really worth the price which is labeled on it??
No problem here you can find some terms which are really helpful for you.
In buying something there are things which you should consider. Whatever those things are of course the first thing you will check is the quality of a product.
How clean a diamond is reflects with its clarity. Whether if it has no blemishes or any insertions whenever it will be observe by the eye or by a magnifier.
If you are looking for good quality diamond, you should be familiar with some terms.
The blemishes which I have mentioned earlier are flaws on the surface of a diamond. If there’s any missing piece that is what we call ‘CHIP’ and any scrape is what we can consider a ‘SCRATCH.’
‘FACTURE’ is any crack you can find on the diamond. during the polishing stage there sometimes you can find fine lines being left, we call it ‘POLISHING LINES’. While the ‘NATURAL’ is an unpolished part
In polishing a diamond you may encounter an ‘EXTRA FACETS’ which shouldn’t be present. These are excess polished surfaces which messes up the symmetry of a diamond.
‘BEARDING’ on the other hand are tiny fractures that can be found on the edge of a diamond.
‘INCLUSIONS/INSERTIONS’ are some imperfection which may be found inside it.
If you happen to find black spots inside the gem it is ‘CARBON’, while a white spot i s called ‘CRYSTAL’. An internal cracking is called ‘FEATHER.’ Tiny spots called ‘PINPOINT’ happened to be smaller than a crystal and a group of it is identified to as ‘CLOUD’ that gives large inclusion.
We use something called ‘lOUPE’ which is used to estimate the diamond, actually it has 10X magnification, and something that you may need, toavoid the distorting of the light, use a lens that has black surroundings.
