Why do people buy diamonds?
People buy diamonds for various reasons, including as a symbol of love and commitment (such as engagement and wedding rings), as a status symbol, and as a long-term investment. The diamond industry has also marketed diamonds as a symbol of luxury and exclusivity. Additionally, diamonds are durable and can be passed down through generations as a family heirloom.
The Four C’s are the standard by which diamonds are judged for quality: Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Color.
Cut refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and polished, and affects a diamond’s sparkle.
Carat refers to a diamond’s weight, and is often used as a measure of size.
Clarity measures the presence of internal and external imperfections, known as inclusions and blemishes.
Color is judged on a scale that ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). A colorless diamond is considered the most valuable.
A diamond certificate, or grading report, from a reputable gemological laboratory, such as GIA, AGS, EGL, IGI, HRD, will give you detailed information on the 4 C’s of the diamond you are considering to buy.
Additionally, a diamond’s cut grade can also be evaluated by observing the diamond’s symmetry, proportion, and finish. A diamond with a good cut grade will have a bright, lively appearance.
What is GIA?
GIA stands for Gemological Institute of America. It is a non-profit organization founded in 1931 and considered one of the most respected and trusted gemological laboratories in the world. GIA issues diamond grading reports, also known as diamond certifications, that provide detailed information about a diamond’s characteristics, including the Four Cs (cut, carat, clarity, and color).
These reports also include a diagram of the diamond’s proportions and a plot of any inclusions (internal flaws) or blemishes (external flaws) that the diamond may have. GIA also issues colored stone grading reports, pearl reports and lab-grown diamond reports. GIA certifications are highly respected in the diamond industry and can help buyers make informed decisions when purchasing a diamond.
What is a Gemologist?
A Graduate Gemologist (GG) is a professional who has completed a course of study and passed an exam through the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The GIA Graduate Gemologist program is a comprehensive course of study that includes instruction in diamond grading, colored stone identification, pearl grading, and other subjects related to gemology.
The program includes both theoretical and practical training, and covers a wide range of topics related to the science of gemstones and the jewelry industry.
Graduate Gemologists are trained to evaluate and grade diamonds, colored gemstones, pearls, and other gems based on the established standards of the gemological community.
They are also trained to identify and grade natural, synthetic, and treated gems, to understand the properties of different types of gems and how they are used in jewelry, and to evaluate the craftsmanship and design of jewelry.
A Graduate Gemologist would have knowledge to work in various fields, such as jewelry retail, appraisal, wholesale, manufacturing, and education. They can also work for gemological laboratories, mining companies, insurance companies, or governmental agencies that regulate the gem and jewelry industry.
