| If you are shopping for
loose diamonds, be
prepared to spend some time researching the subject. There are
many variables that determine quality, value and prices of loose
diamonds. Some you can control, others are based solely on market
conditions and supply and demand. This site provides an overview
of diamond terminology, the
"4 C's", shapes
of diamonds and explains diamond
grading reports. Then we show you something no other web
site does - a weekly price trend report we call the diamond
prices index that shows current market pricing trends for
certified loose diamonds. |
