<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" >part1 What does the diamond indicator have to do with your purchase? </h1>
The basis of all judgment is a trustworthy standard, so we respect GIA standards.
Although Indians have used diamonds as gemstones for more than 2,000 years, diamonds have detailed grading standards from the United States in 1931. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) came up with the concept of 4Cs grading diamonds that year. And has been continuously improved so far, becoming the world's most authoritative and highest rate of diamond identification standards.
All other certification standards are derivatives and variants of GIA's 4Cs.
Given the nationwide adoption and authority of GIA standards, we use GIA standards and GIA's diamond certification reports as our criteria for judging diamond quality.
GIA is equal to the price of a diamond for you
GIA gives diamonds a 4C parameter, and each GIA-certified diamond has its own GIA 4C parameter, which also corresponds to a GIA report number. Through this code, the 4Cs of the diamond can be found in turn in the GIA database. In the diamond trading database, enter the 4C parameters to find the price of the diamond. These databases are globally networked, so regular diamond price inquiry websites are reliable. But not every website queries the price is the same, and there are two reasons for this. One is that the price of all diamonds themselves is floating (this price floats much like a stock). Secondly, since the prices of diamonds in all databases are denominated in United States dollars, queries on domestic websites will lead to differences in prices due to exchange rate movements.
But overall, diamond prices for the same indicator should be essentially flat.
The following is definitely recommended for our official website query:

What is the impact of the 4Cs on diamond prices?
There is not much to say about what the 4Cs are, there are them everywhere on the Internet.
The importance of affecting the price, from large to small, is: weight accounts for 40%-60%, cut accounts for 20%-35%, clarity accounts for 15%-25%, and color accounts for 15%-20%.
Although these 4 C's have a difference in the size of the influence, since each indicator does not independently affect the price, the final price of a diamond still depends on the sum of the 4 indicators.
Weight carat means "size" to you
"Carat" is a unit of weight, but what it really means to you is size.
The diameter of the round drill we usually buy: 50 minutes is only about 5.2 mm. 1 carat is about 6.5 mm. Diamonds larger than 4 carats will exceed 1 centimeter in diameter.
The following is an intuitive comparison of a 1 carat and a 3 carat diamond, when there is no real thing, you can put these references on your finger to compare the size, suitable for your fingers, is the right wedding ring diamond.
Color, clarity, cut combined mean "flash"
Diamonds that don't sparkle don't make sense on your hands, which is why some 1 carats are cheap and some are expensive.
For self-wearing wedding rings, the overall recommendation of this section is "do not choose the extreme value, choose the range".
With the same weight, all three indicators are chosen for extremes, and the price will be much higher than the balance of the indicator range. Extreme diamonds and interval-balanced diamonds present an effect that ordinary people cannot identify with the naked eye.
Of course, friends with investment needs do need high indicators.
color
The higher the color index, the more transparent the diamond, and the stronger the color resolution of the light.
The color difference between the "colorless" and "nearly colorless" levels is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye without detailed contrast. The difference between the D and F colors of the same colorless level, unless you are a professional, it is difficult for you to distinguish in time for comparison.
H color is the watershed of diamond yellow and white, so for wedding ring diamonds, we recommend choosing H or above.
Clarity
Clarity is the amount of impurities in a diamond seen under 10x magnification.
Recommend the VS1/VS2 range, don't feel that we are only thinking about deceiving the naked eye, to tell the truth, for us ordinary people, the cost performance is really important. If you have a higher quality need, know this, at least not to be deceived.
Cut
Cut is the only human factor that affects the natural properties of diamonds, and it is also an important factor that affects whether diamonds flash or not.
The three indicators subdivided in diamond cut (cut/polish/symmetry) are all Exitent, which is referred to as 3EX, and the diamond that reaches 3EX is BlingBling's shining tool. All Fanny Love rings are cut only with 3EX diamonds, which is not as good as TIFFANY's "only 0.04% diamonds", but we give you more options to improve the price/performance ratio.
Of course, the cut is also related to the size of the diamond, as will be mentioned in the next part, "The Misunderstanding of Choosing a Diamond".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" >part2 the misconception of choosing a diamond</h1>
Myth 1: Choosing a diamond depends on the place of origin
The main reason why the impression of "South African diamonds" is so deeply rooted is that South Africa produces the world's largest number of "world famous diamonds". In fact, in terms of output and output, South Africa, as the producer of diamonds, is no longer the world's first as you think. In terms of diamond output, Russia currently accounts for about 35% of the world's diamond output, and is the largest diamond producer. Nor is there currently any agency that issues a certificate of origin for diamonds. Diamonds produced in any mining area are good, medium and poor. Judging whether a diamond is good or bad still needs to be judged by the diamond's 4C grade.
Myth 2: The heavier the diamond, the bigger it gets
The weight of a diamond is not equal to the size of a diamond!
For diamonds of the same weight, the volume is the same. If the lower part is larger, the smaller the upper part and the smaller the drill surface diameter. Conversely, the smaller the lower part, the larger the upper part and the larger the diameter of the drill surface.
But the improper proportions affect the diamond's reflection of light, resulting in only large non-flashes. So that's why 3EX Cut is called "Excellence", and what to consider is that the cut is big and flashy.
Myth three: As long as the diamond is selected well, the ring must be beautiful
In addition to the reasons for the ring style, here we want to talk about the impact of the setting process on the "apparent diamond".
The first is the difference between a 6-prong setting and a 4-prong inlay, which is where many customers are confused.
In the case of the same size and quality of the diamond, "not showing the diamond" is actually whether this setting method can let more light enter all sides of the diamond. This principle is understood, the impact of 4 claws and 6 claws on the "apparent drill" is clear, and the 4 grasp has less occlusion of light, of course, more obvious drilling. But why not use all 4 claws? Because the 4 claws are not as strong as the 6 claws, generally more than 70 points of diamonds, it is recommended to set 6 claws. On the one hand, heavier diamonds need to be more firmly set, and on the other hand, diamonds above 70 points are large enough that a little concealment will not have a significant impact on the diamond's effect.

Second, should your diamond bezel-set? For diamonds that weigh relatively small, to appear larger, you need to subsidize the size of the main diamond with broken diamonds around them. This is where bezel setting is required.
Bezel-set diamond ring
This method also has a greater impact on the light reflection effect of the main diamond, so it is recommended to use diamonds below 40 points, so that through the bezel setting process, broken diamond subsidies, less than 40 points can achieve the effect of 60 points -1 carat size.
The main misunderstanding is the above 3 points, if you still have unclear points, you can also consult our online official website customer service, or go to the store to compare different diamonds. We have hundreds of in-stock diamonds in our store for you to compare.

The best way is to take the physical object and try it out. Different styles of rings may make your hands appear slimmer, and some styles may match your hands to make the diamond appear larger.
If it's not convenient for you to try it on, we'll give you some tips for choosing a ring based on your hand.
Fingers a little fleshy bride
The meat hand should choose a three-dimensional shape, and the curved feel will appear slender:
Choose carefully: straight type heavy or ring arm slim model
Recommendation: The shank arm has a sense of volume or the line surface is soft or the option is large diamond
Diamond ring style reference:
It doesn't matter if the diamond carat is small, the design style can amplify the visual effect of the main diamond
Fingers a little short for the bride
Short hand should choose the streamlined type, V-type U-shaped hand length:
Careful selection: thick straight arms and wide ring arms
Recommendation: V-ring type or U-ring type
