Each C in the minefield 1:4C is not bad.
This is an old-fashioned question, and many experts will tell you that each of the four Cs is important! So most people will pursue each level of C when they buy diamonds, but in fact, this makes you miss some cost-effective choices, and even more, in order to balance the balance of data, give up the priority. As a result, the diamonds that I have chosen with confidence in the 4C standard are not as good as those of others with lower grades.
The selection of diamonds does not follow the principle of wooden barrels. When selecting a round diamond with a multi-face cut, when the budget is limited, it is perfectly fine to discard some of the 4C levels properly, so you can save a big deal. Pen money:
The most easily overlooked in 1C is the cut, but the cut is actually the most important part of 4C! Because it is the most important factor in determining the flash of a diamond. 3 Excellent is the best choice, and you need to choose Very Good.
2. Secondly, you need to consider carat, because when you see a diamond, the most intuitive thing you can feel with the naked eye is its size.
3, in the color and clarity of the screening should give priority to the color, because the color can be clearly seen by the naked eye, and the clarity is only VS2 or more of which are invisible to the naked eye.
Minefield 2: The same level of low price must be more cost-effective
Sometimes people will find that the price of the same level of diamonds is very different. Most people will choose the one with the lower price, but they don't know that they have fallen into the pit.
We are savvy and clear that the low price is naturally low, and fluorescence is an important factor affecting the price of diamonds outside the 4C standard!
Fluorescence is divided into no, weak, medium, strong, strong, and strong. The highest fluorescence can reduce the price of diamonds by as much as 14%. If you are buying a diamond with a color level greater than 1 carat, it is best not to choose fluorescent, because the fluorescence will make the diamond look foggy and affect the color of the diamond. But in the case of diamonds that are less than 1 carat and have a low color grade, the fluorescence hardly has a visible effect on the color of the diamond, and it also makes the diamond visually whiter. So a diamond with a small amount of fluorescence is a more cost-effective option.
Minefield 3: The higher the level, the more beautiful
This is the case in most cases, but there are exceptions. There is a kind of milk coffee drill in diamonds that is an important killer that affects the value of diamonds.
"Milk" refers to a white cloud, and a "milk" diamond does not look like any impurities, but it feels like it is still foggy. But the clarity of this diamond can range from VVS2 to P2, a VVS2 with a milk diamond and a VS2 no milk diamond, perhaps the VS2 will be more beautiful.
Minefield 4: It’s enough to see the data. I understand 4C who I am afraid of.
do you know? Just as diamond certificates have become the standard for judging diamonds, some diamond experts still use the oldest method to select diamonds through the human eye, and then check with the certificate! The easiest way to judge whether a diamond is beautiful is to use your eyes to observe.
A diamond certificate is like a person's medical report. It can reflect the basic data of a person's height and weight, but there is no way to tell everyone whether this person is beautiful, and the human eye is the most intuitive perception of beauty.
Many people must not imagine that even if they reach the same 4C standard, the two diamonds may be far apart due to individual differences, and the value will even reach a 25% gap. Therefore, when choosing a diamond, if you have the opportunity to try it yourself, take the diamond ring for example, you can put it on your hand, then gently shake the back of the hand and the body at a 75-degree angle to observe its luster and shine. It is most intuitive to see if the diamond is beautiful.
Minefield 5: As long as the diamond is good, the mosaic has little effect.
Many people think that choosing a good diamond is all right, but ignores the influence of the mosaic method on the diamond. Choosing the right mosaic method will make your diamonds icing on the cake, hiding it, making it brighter and bigger...
The secret of mosaic is here:
1. The invisible enamel in the diamond can be greatly enhanced by the inlay.
2. Claw setting Because the little metal occlusion can make the diamond's light more sturdy and bigger.
3. Inlay a small diamond around the diamond, basically increasing the effect by 30 points.
4. Some mosaic methods can maximize the use of reflected light, and use optical principles to give people a visually large illusion, which can be considered at the time of purchase.
5. Platinum is more wear-resistant and will not fade due to everyday wear, but the price is more expensive. 18K gold is more rigid and easier to shape and richer in making complex styles. The simple classic model is more suitable for the platinum ring, and the 18K gold with the complicated design will be better.
Minefield 6: It’s a certificate and everything will be fine.
Buying a diamond must have a certificate. This is no longer necessary, but you may not know that some certificates cannot be trusted! Because some certificates have very loose ratings for diamonds, it is more likely that they will not be able to check whether they are synthetic diamonds or even collude with merchants to upgrade the diamond level! Therefore, we must remember that you must be skeptical about the certificates issued by some unknown and not authoritative institutions. To buy diamonds, you must look for the certificate issued by the authoritative international authority!
Of course, the certificate as a diamond ID card may also be falsified. But now the accreditation agencies have also tried their best to create anti-counterfeiting labels to counter illegal businesses. The easiest way is to log in to the official website of the certificate, enter the number of the certificate to query, and some certificates have a QR code. Take out the phone and scan all the information about the diamond can be immediately displayed on the phone.
