11. The Diamond Episode! Everything you need to know about diamonds

The Jewelry Podcast

Today we will sort out everything you need to know about diamonds!

In this episode, we will go through:

• The 4 C’s of Diamonds
• What conflict diamonds (also called blood diamonds) are and if you have to worry about these today
• What GIA is and how it became an authority within the international diamond trade
• If you always need a Diamond Certificate
• The difference between the color grades Wesselton and Top Wesselton
• ...and much more!

I have chosen to name this episode “THE Diamond Episode” (spoiler alert - it is an intense one), and I hope that it is one of those episodes you will return to over and over again.

Because when you have learnt the rules of a perfect diamond, you can throw out the rulebook and find the best diamond for you.

That is to me the best part about diamonds! You will find your own perfect one!

Enjoy!

And don't forget to give our show a rating if you have thirty spare seconds and think that the show deserves it! :)

And remember: you deserve fine jewelry.

The four C's of diamonds

The 4 Cs denote four different quality aspects of a diamond and determine the price of a specific stone - it also explains why there are such massive differences in prices between stones of the same size.

The four Cs are:

• Colour - the degree of colourless (the less colour a diamond has, the more valuable it is)
• Carat - the size (1 CT = 0,2 gram)
• Clarity - how flawless its crystal is
• Cut - how well it has been cut and thus, emit sparkle and brilliance
