It’s no secret that we all love diamonds. According to some statistics, around 564 million British pounds worth of diamonds is sold each year!
Diamond eternity rings, engagement rings, and bracelets are some of the biggest sellers. But how do we value a rare diamond with an ordinary one?
When talking about any gemstone, the 4Cs matter a lot. These are cuts, carats, colour and clarity. The higher the number goes, the higher the market value of that particular diamond jewellery.

The cut is very important when it comes to the value of diamonds. The cuts determine the level of shine and sparkle the stone will give. This is why round cut diamond rings or princess cut diamonds are so popular in the world.
The round-cut diamond has over 58 facets which make it sparkle. The princess-cut bears around 76 facets, which is why some of the most priced diamond rings are princess-cut.
Another aspect of diamonds that really affects the price and value of this gemstone is its shape. Most people are unaware that diamond cuts and shapes are different elements. A diamond’s shape means its geometrical form, like round, oval or cushion. There is one desired shape of the diamond. It depends on the personality and type of jewellery you are buying.
The carat is the weight of the diamond. The higher the weight, the more expensive the diamond becomes.
Another element when choosing diamond jewellery is its colour. Diamond comes in a lot of different colours, pink, black, steel grey, white, and even red and purple.
Apart from the transparent diamonds, black diamond is also very expensive due to their uniqueness. Black diamond rings and black diamond bracelets are some of the most in-demand jewellery at AG & Sons.
