We always hear the saying ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’. Yes, undeniably diamonds are beautiful and can make any girl feel like a million dollars. But is it actually worth a million dollars? Below we will further explain what you need to know before buying diamonds.

What is Diamond 4C’s?

When you purchase a house, the common saying is ‘location, location, location’. But when you want to purchase a diamond, the saying is ‘4C, 4C, 4C’.

The 4Cs is the universal method for assessing the quality of any diamond, anywhere in the world. Every diamond that comes with a GIA certificate will state the diamond’s 4C’s as well as the individual serial number for the precious stone. But what exactly is 4C’s? Here is the rundown.

1. Color
GIA’s diamond color-grading system measures the degree of colorlessness. The less colour, the higher the grade. The GIA diamond color grades range from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). 

2. Cut
Cut actually refers to the diamond facets’ ability to transmit light and sparkle so intensely, not the shape (round, oval etc).

3. Clarity
Diamond clarity is the assessment of small imperfections on the surface and within the stone. However, it is important to keep in mind that diamonds are as unique as our fingerprints. Natural imperfections are inevitable.

4. Carat
A diamond’s carat is the diamond’s weight, not its size. Also, bigger doesnt necessarily mean better. In fact, a high carat diamond with a poor cut may look smaller than a diamond with a smaller carat and a very good cut.

Is Diamonds Good for Investment?

These days, more and more people are becoming smart buyers especially when it comes to valuables such as gold and diamonds. Most of us care about how much we may be able to get if we ever need to sell it in the future. Unfortunately, unlike gold, diamonds’ resale value is low.

The reality is, most diamonds will decline in value over time. Immediately after you have made your purchase and leave the store, the ring is now worth 50% less than what you paid for barely a few minutes ago. Just like when you drive a newly purchased car off the lot, the value will dramatically drop the very second you walk out of the store.

Diamonds typically resell for 25% to 50% of the purchase price. But even less if your diamond does not come with a certificate.
