Diamonds

• Diamond is an exceptional, naturally-occurring
  stone, which consists of pure carbon.

  into movement the forces of growth and
  consistency.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
