Hello all, Kerry Ryan here!
A little Diamond Q & A…
Questions I’ve heard over the years and their answers…
- What is the most brilliant diamond?
The most brilliant diamond is the round brilliant cut because it’s the most symmetrical and the more symmetrical the more brilliant (FYI: the second most brilliant is a square radiant cut).
- What is the most expensive cut?
Again with all things being equal the round diamond is the most expensive (Two main reasons: 1- it’s the most in demand. 2- It’s the most expensive to manufacture).
- Which is the most important of the 4 C’s?
In my opinion and this is putting the size of the diamond aside (carat), the most important C is the cut (a diamond that is cut properly is brilliant with lots of fire, with that said the order is as follows:
Cut- we just discussed why.
Color- you want as white(colorless) as possible.
Clarity- if you don’t see it with the naked eye why worry.
Basically I’m saying pay for what you see not what you don’t.
- I like a round, my girlfriend likes a square cut what do you recommend?
Here is one of life’s lessons: get her what she WANTS (I’ve said this before Happy Wife=Happy Husband, a very simple formula -no added ingredients necessary).
- What happens if she says NO?
If you don’t know what the answer to that question you are in the wrong store you should be at the florist.
Well that is some of the questions and I can assure you there are more to be discussed in the future.
Have a great day!
