loose diamonds
Diamond is a crystal made up of carbon atoms. The tetrahedral arrangement of atoms in diamond has made it the hardest and most beauteous element on the earth. Some of the main parts of the diamond include table, girdle, crown and culet.
Table is the top flat part of the diamond. Girdle is that part of a loose diamond where top and bottom of diamond meet with one another. Girdle enhances the refraction of the diamond. Girdle is associated to the thickness of a diamond. Girdle may vary in different diamonds. Girdle can be thick, very thick and extremely thick. It can be faceted or not. If a diamond has faceted girdle, then it looks very attractive. A Crown is that part of the diamond, which is above girdle.
Culet is related to the size of the facet. Bottom point of the diamond is known as Culet. Bottom part of the diamond is called Pavilion. The shine of the diamond depends upon the polish. Polish offers a finishing touch to the diamond. Always buy a well polished diamond. Polish of a diamond can be poor, good, and very good.
You can also assess the fluorescence of the diamond by keeping it under sunlight. Some diamonds have no fluorescence, some have small and some have very strong fluorescence. Colored diamonds show a wider range of fluorescence. The price of a diamond hinges upon its shine. White diamond shines a lot when kept under sunlight because light can easily pass and reflect through it.
Symmetry of a diamond depends upon how the facets are externally aligned to one another. In a symmetrical diamond, all the facets do not have much difference in their size and shape.
