I’m getting my girlfriend a set of diamond earrings for Christmas. I know clarity and color are important when it comes to engagement rings, but is the same true for a set of diamond earrings? What is the average color and clarity of a diamond earring? Thanks!

ng process is obviously one of the most important steps in the journey of a diamond from a rough diamond to a polished and glittering one. Just as there are specific locations where diamond mines have been located, there are various centers across the world known for their diamond cutting expert resources. The factors that determine the manner in which these centers operate are varied and include customs, regulations, labor costs, prices and the proximity to diamond mines.

In fact most of these centers are created due to some specific environmental, governmental or economic situation. Each cutting center is known for its specialty and while one center may be popular for its expertise in churning out well chiseled small diamonds, the other might be known to be able to produce unique and irregular cuts.

Please don’t give me that Kimberley Process garbage. In 2000 they said 4-5% of the market is blood diamonds when it was in actuality 15-20%. Today they say around 1%, and I still don’t believe. There is about $22 million dollars this year coming out of Congo alone.

MakeUMoan asked:


Why is there such a substancial markup in price for diamonds certified by expert organizations? Is a non-certified not a real diamond? Is a certified diamond worth the extra cost involved in purchasing it? Are the qualities of a non-certified diamond (clarity, cut, color, etc.) identifiable if no expert organization or gemologists has given it a certification?
