If There are many things to look for when choosing a diamond.
The four C's, color, clarity, carat weight and cut are guidelines
I that have been constructed to assist you in your purchase. But
ithe customer should decide which elements of the four C's are
the most important to his individual needs. Maybe price is the
most important factor, you may have a range you're working
with. Of course you'll want the best diamond you can get within
your budget. Maybe one of the other C's is more important to you. The price of the diamond you choose will
be affected by each cf these aspects. Sartor Hamann can explain each of these to you, so that you can make
an educated decision.

diamonds contain inclusions. Every inclusion is as unique as your own finger print. The
amount of inclusions in a diamond will alter the cost of the diamond. It is important to look |
at the diamond under a microscope. Even under magnification some inclusions can be
difficult to find. 1
When viewing your diamond under magnification you can also get a good look at the cut o* |
the diamond. This includes the size of the crown (top of the diamond), the pavilion (bottom), |
the girdle thickness as well as the size of the table. The diamond pnce will be reduced by
a percentage, for a cut that is less than perfect. |
The color of the diamond can be determined by comparing your diamond with a master set |
of diamonds that have already been graded for their color. The color of diamond that you j
choose, will depend on your own individual taste. i
