    I was teaching my husband when we were engaged about the four C’s of buying a diamond. We were at the jewelers and I selected a beautiful diamond and he was impressing the sales person by going over the four C’s but he said actually there are five C’s. Cut, color
    ,clarity, carat weight, and cardiac arrest when you see the price. We all laughed so hard because it’s true.

    Some great suggestions here to help people deciding how to make the best choice for the budget they have and which compromise(s) will ensure the best result. I am having a pendant made from a diamond which is j-k color and I was planning to have it set in white gold but after watching your video, I think I’m going to have it done in yellow. Should look nice, especially because on a pendant, people don’t get that close. Thanks for the tip. 👏

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I feel like diamonds that are below a color J usually look better in yellow gold. Unless your diamond has fluorescence, it may help offset the yellow color in the diamond. After looking over a diamond, I give suggestions what color would look best for us to set it in.

      @AmbrosiaJewelry  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Diamonds can be found all around the world, but most found are not gem quality. They are used in tools and machinery. Diamonds used in jewelry are not as abundant and colored diamonds are extremely rare. We work directly with the mines. We know how hard it is to find a top quality diamond. I ask, if diamonds are not valuable, then why are jewelry stores robbed?

    Hi! What do you think of a K color but I1? In person it looked near colorless in different lightings and you can see feathery inclusions on the back with a magnifier, but its hidden when placed in the setting. It is a 2.25 round diamond with brilliant cut. It is also GIA certified and just wondering if it is good if I am willing to sacrifice for size and can't see the inclusions/color diff?

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I always say if you see it in person and love it, than the certification doesn't matter. Unless you are purchasing the diamond more as an investment, than a higher quality would be best. The biggest thing you want to look at is the cut grade as this is what makes the diamond sparkle. The more sparkle a diamond has, the better it appears. A round diamond also helps "hide" more of the inclusions compared to other diamond shapes. The last thing that helps is your diamond is GIA certified. GIA has stricter guidelines to certifying a diamond. In other words, GIA says your diamond is a K, while another certification company may say your diamond is J.

    2:39 In the past jewellers used grade their diamonds as AA, A, B or C or various ambiguous combinations of those three letters. Since GIA wanted to move away from such ambiguity and standardize the grading process, they decided to start with D at the top of the scale.

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes GIA made a universal diamond grading system. They wanted to create a new letter for the color grade to start fresh. They could have used any letter, but instead made the decision to start with D for a colorless diamond grade. It has never been said exactly why they chose that letter.

  • @usfanlovesminho5085
    @usfanlovesminho5085 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great advice in picking a diamond, however, to me starting at the letter "I" in color and further down the color scale I would go with medium fluorescence instead of faint as faint does not make much of a difference in what I have seen. My daughter's engagement ring is an "I" and when I first saw it I thought it was an F or G. I asked her fiance what the color was and he said it was an "I" which floored me. I asked if there was fluorescence in the diamond and he said there was medium. That along with the diamond being round with triple Ex grading, the diamond is absolutely gorgeous and you really don't see much blue to even notice in the sunlight like you would with strong fluorescence. Once you get to "M" strong fluorescence would work. H is good for faint and G as well as it will not have enough florescence to make the diamond milky and you get a better price. Just my two cents :)

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, the stronger the fluorescence, the more the diamond will have a milky appearance. We recommend visually inspecting and seeing a diamond in person as they can look different than their report says.

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      A miners cut diamond is an old way of cutting round diamonds. It is cut with a higher top (crown) and deeper bottom (pavilion). You will find this style of diamond in many old vintage pieces of jewelry. Diamonds today are cut to provide more sparkle and brilliance.

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      To see the fluorescence in a diamond, use a black light and the diamond will glow blue color if it has fluorescence. As for the cut of the diamond, can you explain more about your question as I am not understanding the question.

      When investing in diamonds, most people do not want fluorescence as sometimes they can look hazy with strong fluorescence.

    hmm... other videos say that step cuts (e.g. emerald cuts actually hide color better bc less facets (therefore less reflection of the yellow hue) in comparison to brilliant cuts (e.g. round, radiant)

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      With my years of experience and working with diamonds, step cuts will show more color because of less sparkle and light reflection. When we grade diamonds, we turn the diamonds upside down and look through the pavillion (bottom part of stone). This allows you to see the true diamond color without all of the distracting splashes of color from the sparkle. Sorry to hear there are misleading videos out there!

    Is it bad for a lab diamond to have noted that it’s faintly blue? I heard a lot of negative comments about it but, I am quite drawn to the slight blue color. It’s like you have a piece of the sky on your finger. And what color band would look good with it? Yellow or white gold?

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely not! It is more of a personal preference. We have worked with numerous diamonds with a faint blue fluorescent which offset the natural yellow color of the diamond- resulting in a whiter diamond. Blue stones look great in both gold colors. With a faint blue, I recommend white gold to show off more of the blue color. Contact us to schedule a design consultation to create the perfect ring.

      We personally like GIA certifications and then EGL certs. We have worked with some certifications which are are a little more lenient on their grading qualities. For example a diamond may be graded by one cert as a G color which increases the price of the diamond because it is in the near colorless range. While GIA may grade the same diamond as I color. I always say, if you love how the diamond looks, then what the certification says may not matter to you!

      @georgiamclennan 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you’re looking for a “good” or “perfect” diamond, then any kind of stone with fluorescence is considered poorer quality than a stone without fluorescence. Luxury brand jewellers (like Tiffany & Co.) ONLY use diamonds that are colourless or near-colourless (D, E, F, G, H & I) with very few inclusions (FL, IF, VVS1, VVS2, VS1 & VS2), and that have little or no fluorescence.
      However, if you are just wanting a diamond that looks good in person, there’s nothing wrong with buying a slightly lesser quality diamond like a K colour with fluorescence. The key to getting away with a slightly coloured diamond and fluorescence is to make sure there are very few inclusions in it.

    • @marydonnelly4705
      @marydonnelly4705 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s personal preference but I think most would say smaller and less cloudy. Cloudy diamonds don’t sparkle/look good at all. They can look dull. And a larger diamond would make the cloudiness obvious.

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends on what you mean by "cloudy." If there are lots of inclusions, any size of diamond will not sparkle very well. Each client has a personal preference. Maybe they want a larger diamond with a couple of noticeable inclusions, while others want a smaller diamond with a better quality. For most women, we want a diamond that sparkles!!

      The larger the diamond the more noticeable the color. Also you want to pay attention to the certification. Not all certifications grade diamonds with the same precision. I always suggest seeing a diamond in person. It can sound good on paper, but it all depends on if you like it when you see it. We also work directly with diamond cutters to find our client's the best diamond for their value. Feel free to contact us for more information.

    Currently looking at a 1.07 carat, internally flawless, ideal cut, j color diamond for a pave petite twist band graded by IGI. Going with a bigger size carat since the gf’s finger is a size 8. Based on a few things you said in your video, do you think the j color is going to be visible with the other small diamonds in the pave setting?

    • @AmbrosiaJewelry
      @AmbrosiaJewelry  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Justin, the ideal cut will help bring more sparkle to the diamond which should help brighten it. The IGI grading will be more lenient than GIA so it may appear to have more color compared to a GIA color J. You also want to make sure the side diamonds match the color of the main diamond. If the smaller diamonds are several grade brighter in color, it will make your main diamond appear more yellow than what it is. If you want a second opinion, we work with client all across the country to hand select a diamond with a better quality or value.

      Each diamond cut will have its own unique look and sparkle. Princess cut will be the next popular choice, while pear and marquise can give lots of sparkle if cut proportionately. Oval and radiant cut is also a great option for sparkle.

    The cut refers to the way the diamond is cut to proportions, there’s differences in RBC’s. Ideal, Excellent, fair, etc.

      It is not accurate to say all jewelers are liars. I know many jewelers who have a good heart and also educate their clients about gold, gems and diamonds. Many consumers have not taken the educational classes we have, so we try to educate them in only a few minutes, which has taken us years to learn. Based on one experience, a person should not limit their thinking by claiming one restaurant chain's food is horrible at every location, all mechanics take advantage of you, or all money managers are crooks. Yes, it is sad to have one bad apple ruin it for everyone else, but I hope you take the opportunity to work with a jeweler who has a good reputation with their clients.
