Diamond necklaces are available in a range of metals, from white gold diamond necklaces, to platinum and rose gold. There's also a choice of diamond shapes, with round diamond necklaces beings the most popular, followed by princess cut diamond necklaces.
What Are The 4Cs Of Diamond Quality?
The 4Cs of diamond quality are cut, colour, clarity and carat. Cut is the only one that is determined by a man-made process. Some of the most popular cuts include round, cushion and princess. The way in which the diamond is cut will determine how it reflects light and is often determined by the condition of the diamond.
The colour of a diamond scales from D to Z, with D being totally colourless and hints of yellow becoming more apparent as the scale runs down to Z. Clarity refers to how internally flawless the diamond is, measuring whether slight inclusions are present within the stone. Finally, carat refers to the weight of the diamond, with many people choosing to purchase a half carat or one carat diamond necklace, depending on the chosen style.
