The 4 C’s + 1: Determining Diamond Quality

Confucius once said, “Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.” Although this might be true, I don’t think anyone starts out wanting a flawed diamond. But what determines the value of a diamond? Maybe you have seen a diamond ring and thought that it looked perfect. Maybe you saw a diamond that would have been better off as a pebble. Unfortunately, calculating the value of a diamond isn’t defined by all the “oohs” and “ahs” received from a diamond engagement ring. There is an actual science to examining and evaluating these precious stones. To make it a bit simpler, a diamond’s quality is determined by the 5 C’s: Carat, Cut, Color, Clarity, and Certification.

While working in the jewelry industry, my friends have asked me for advice on how to sell jewelry for the most money. They ask “How much can I sell my diamond for?” and “ Can you help me sell my ring?” I always pass on the same advice to everyone and figured it’s time to pass it on to the world. It is important to note while there are many options when selling your jewelry it is incredibly unlikely that you will receive what you paid for it and even less likely that you will receive what your appraisal says its worth.

For the purposes of this article i will use a ring as the example as I’ve found that this is the most common and requested piece of jewelry to sell.

How to Handle Government Shutdowns

President Trump announced on January 25 a three-week halt to the partial federal government shutdown. That doesn’t lift the threat of the government shutting down again if a permanent deal isn’t reached, nor does it mean government shutdowns can’t happen again in the future.
