High Value Diamond Bracelets

When purchasing an expensive diamond bracelets it is very important to make sure the supplier is a reputable and established dealer. One method of differentiating between true diamonds and cheap imitations is to check they are cold to the touch. This is because diamonds are excellent heat conductors. Genuine diamonds are transparent to X rays, and most are not good electrical conductors which will become charged with positive electricity if you rub them.
The weight of diamonds is expressed in terms of “carats”. This term is derived from the original method of using carob seeds to weight gemstones when one seed from the tree was equivalent to one “carob”. One carat is the equivalent of 0.2 grams, but to accurately more accurately describe the weight this is divided into 100 points. If a diamond weighs less than one carat it is described as a “pointer”, and to illustrate this term a .15 carat diamond would be referred to as a “15 pointer”. You will often find that diamonds which have the same carat weight will have different prices. This is because the weight is not indicative of the quality.
The main factors which determine the value of a diamond are known as the 4Cs (carat, cut, colour and clarity). Points to therefore bear in mind when buying expensive diamond bracelets are the weight (as described above); the cut which typically should have 58 facets regardless of the shape of the stone; the colour which is very important as the closer a white diamond is to being colourless the more rare and valuable it is. Lastly is the clarity; during the formation of a diamond sometimes minute particles of non-crystallised carbon or crystals get caught within the compound. These interfere with passage of light through the stone and impair its clarity.
