3. Size matters
In the case of diamonds, this couldn't be
truer. The Cullinan Diamond (3,106.75 carats)
sourced from the mines of South Africa is till
date, the largest. Diamonds are weighed in
carats, a 'metric carat' equals 200 milligrams.
The larger the size, the price multiplies.
4. To cut or not to cut?
Diamond varieties range from cut diamonds
to uncut ones. Uncut diamonds have a
subtle glow, a toned down brilliance and
make an excellent choice for heavy
wedding necklaces.
5. Colour
As stated earlier, there are a variety of
colour options, among which white is
relatively easier to find and often fits ones’
budget too. If budget isn’t going to hold you
back and the beauty of the yellow diamond
compels you, indulge in a pair of yellow
diamond studs, and be sure to turn heads.
6. Setting metal
When you have an especially divine stone,
you need the right metal to complement it.
Gold is the most used metal to set
diamonds.
7. Occasion
The ultimate in buying diamond jewellery is
the occasion when you plan to wear them.
Everyday diamonds have become very
common, with small stones on pendants
and delicate bangles
