Diamond is a naturally occurring pure carbon crystal that is exceptionally hard and durable compared to most gemstones. Gemstones are also mineral crystals that are cut and polished for use in jewelry. When assessing durability, diamond is unmatched due to its extreme hardness and stability against damage or deterioration. While most diamonds are colorless, colored diamonds can be found and are more rare and valuable. Gemstones also come in a variety of colors and some treatments are used to enhance their hues, though the effects may fade over time. The value of both diamonds and gemstones is determined by the four C's of cut, clarity, color, and carat weight, with rarer qualities increasing price.

2. Diamonds
 Diamond is an exceptional, naturally-occurring stone, which consists of
pure carbon.
 Diamond revitalize and convey energy, setting into movement the forces
of growth and consistency.

3. Gemstones
 A Gemstone is a piece of mineral crystal which, in cut and polished form,
is used to make jewellery or other adomments.
 Physical characteristics that make a colored stone valuable are color,
clarity to a lesser extent

4. Durability
When it comes to durability, diamond is the undisputable winner over most
gemstones. Very few gems come even close to it in terms of hardness.
 Hardness: The capacity of a gemstone to resist superficial scratches
and scuffs.
 Stability: The property of a gemstone to resist chemical or
physical deterioration.

5. Colour
It is clear that most gemstones are colored while most diamonds on
the market are colorless or have a slight yellow tint. However, this is
not what we are going to focus on here.
 A more important fact is that
colored gemstones are
often heat treated.
 This type of treatment is used to
enhance color; the result looks
good and is usually permanent,
but some gemstones may fade
with time.

6. Value
Diamonds are created in distinct sizes, colors and shapes. Even
though the main type of diamonds is known to be colorless,
diamonds of different color have been found in other countries. A
diamond becomes rare when a specific color or clarity of diamond is
hard to find.
 The value of gemstones is assessed by
the naked eye and specified according to
the 4 C's; Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat.
This system of characterizing diamonds is
applied worldwide to all gemstones.

7. Price
Carat, clarity, cut and color are the main characteristics of diamonds.
The use of grading the diamonds this way creates internationally
accepted values and makes worldwide trading possible.
If the stone has an great color, a good
cut or a high clarity, the price will rise
accordingly.
 The carat weight is also very
significant in calculating the
final price.
