When considering buying a diamond, what do you consider to be important?

whats more important. Cut, clarity or the colour. I know the carat is important, but there is no point in having a big diamond if its got lots of inclusions and is a yello colour. What do you think is important to look for?|||CUT





It is definitely the cut because if it is cut properly it will enhance the colour and the clarity of the rock.


There are 3 types of cuts.


1. Well cut- the most brilliant


2. Deep cut


3. Shallow cut





If the diamond is cut too deep(Nail head) or cut too shallow(Fish eye), the brilliance will be less.





The cut could also be classified according to the shape of the diamond.


Heart, Princess, Oval, Round brilliant, Marquise, Baguette, Emerald %26amp; Pear.





So, first consider the CUT....It is the most important out of the 4 Cs.....And the 5th C as well...COST!! :)hehe..





Cheers!|||clarity and color, there are some diamonds with color, but some say they are not as pretty as the clear (white) diamond, i think its preference when it comes to color., and yes, there are yellow diamonds as well as rose colored. clarity means there are no scratches or chips or discolor within the diamond. the most important thing to me is, making sure you get what you pay for, clear cut white diamond without scratches or other colors in it. talk to the jeweler, he can tell you more about it when you're out there shopping.. shop around and compare stores before you make a decision. good luck.|||It really depends on the buyer's preference. Most people are most concerned about size, and after that the clarity and color. Personally, after the size of the diamond, the cut and brilliance of the diamond is very important to me.
