There are a few thing you want to know when shopping for jewelry online and locally, I usually like to start at the four c's and that's carats Tiffany and Co twist bangle mini jewelry , clarity Tiffany and Co elsa peretti open heart ring medium jewelry , color and cut. In case you don't know what these terms are here is their definition.
CARAT: Diamonds are weighed in carats usually the higher the carat weight the rarer the stone and higher the price tag. Gemstones are also weighed in carats but the price of a gemstone doesn't always go by carat but also by the type of Gemstone. For example a 1 carat Emerald would more then likely be more expensive then a 2 carat Citrine Stone that's because an Emerald is more rare then Citrine which is a quartz and quartz is one of the most abundant minerals on earth.
CLARITY: The clarity of a Diamond or Gemstone can rage from flawless to inclusions noticeable to the naked eye. A flawless Diamond will carry a higher price tag then one with even minor inclusions because they are more rare.
FL = Flawless no internal or external inclusions of any kind visible under 10x magnification to a trained eye, the most rare and expensive of all clarity grades
IF = Internally Flawless no internal inclusions visible under 10x magnification to a trained eye, but there may be some tiny external irregularities in the finish
VVS-1 = Very Very Slightly Included 1 usually just one tiny inclusion visible only to a trained eye under 10x magnification
VVS-2 = Very Very Slightly Included 2 tiny inclusions visible only to a trained eye under 10x magnification
VS-1 = Very Slightly Included 1 very small inclusions visible with 10x magnification
VS-2 = Very Slightly Included 2 several very small inclusions visible with 10x magnification
SI-1 = Slightly Included 1 small inclusions visible with 10x magnification
SI-2 = Slightly Included 2 several small inclusions visible with 10x magnification
SI-3 = Slightly Included 3 inclusions that may be visible to the naked eye for a trained observed
I-1 = Included 1 flaws that are visible to the naked eye
I-2 = Included 2 many flaws clearly visible to the naked eye that also decrease the brilliance
I-3 = Included 3 many flaws clearly visible to the naked eye which decrease the brilliance and compromise the structure of the diamond Tiffany and Co frank gehry torque bead ring jewelry , making it more easily cracked or chipped
COLOR: Diamonds are found in practically ever color of the rainbow however white Diamonds are still the most sought after. The color of a stone can rage from "D" completely colorless to "Z" a yellowish tint. This is another factor in the cost of a Diamond.
CUT: The cut of a Diamond tells you how reflective the stone is. A good cut Diamond will allow the ideal amount of light to reflected through the Diamond giving it brilliance.
