Loose diamonds, are one of the first selections to make when deciding upon your
piece of fine diamond jewelry. In order to help you choose from among only the highest
quality diamonds, Gemfind offers a vast array of certified loose diamonds that have
been examined by a professional gemology lab. This certification is a scientific
and objective process that takes places prior to the actual valuation, or appraisal.
The appraisal of loose diamonds is by its very nature a more subjective process.
While certified loose diamonds have been weighed and scientifically examined for
clarity and fire, an appraisal – which involves putting a dollar amount on loose
diamonds – is subject to aspects of these gems that cannot easily be quantified,
such as cut and color. The popularity of certain cuts and colors of loose diamonds
waxes and wanes, and naturally affects the dollar value of certified loose diamonds.
The measure of a particular cut of loose diamonds are determined in large part by
the setting for which it is intended. Princess cut diamonds are quite popular, as
are oval cut diamonds. However, for engagement rings, most people prefer round cuts;
princess cut diamonds may be more suitable for necklaces and pendants. Emerald cut
diamonds are more rectangular in shape; some variations on this particular cut have
been growing in popularity in recent years, but for the most part, more traditional
rounded and oval cut diamonds are preferred for most kinds of jewelry.
Of course, you should always let your own preferences and tastes be your guide.
Emerald cut diamonds have a certain appeal. It’s larger and more open “table,” or
face, tends to highlight the stone’s clarity as opposed to more elaborate princess
cut diamonds and other rounded cuts intended to highlight the stones “fire,” or
brilliance. Again, this is primarily a matter of individual taste; there are no
hard and fast rules.
