Deze insluitsels maken deel uit van wat de steen uniek maakt. Ze zijn een natuurlijk fenomeen en we vinden altijd diamanten met insluitsels die onzichtbaar zijn met het blote oog (oogzuiver). Slechts ongeveer 1-2% van de natuurlijke diamanten wereldwijd zijn volledig zuiver of Intern Flawless.

Een goede afwerkingsgraad getuigt van het vakmanschap van de diamantslijper. Het verwijst naar de symmetrie van de facetten en hun algemene afwerking. De best geslepen diamanten hebben ook de juiste proporties tussen de verschillende delen van de diamant. Als deze verhoudingen niet optimaal zijn, worden het vuur en de schittering van de diamant aangetast en kunnen er ongewenste visuele effecten optreden. Naast de meest populaire 'Round Brilliant' slijpvorm, zijn er een reeks andere veelgebruikte modellen, en men kan ook prachtige 'fancy cut' diamanten tegenkomen...

From the famous 4Cs to diamond shapes and precious metals, our goal is to simplify the world of diamonds through clear and valuable information.\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- ADD ELEMENTOR TABLE OF CONTENTS WIDGET HERE --><\/p>\n<h2>Understanding the 4Cs of Diamonds<\/h2>\n<p>\nThe 4Cs \u2014 cut, color, clarity, and carat weight \u2014 are the internationally recognized standards used to evaluate diamond quality. Understanding these characteristics is essential when selecting a certified diamond for engagement rings or fine jewelry.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Diamant geslepen<\/h3>\n<p>\nDiamond cut refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and polished to reflect light. A well-cut diamond creates exceptional brilliance, sparkle, and fire. Moreover, cut quality significantly impacts the overall beauty of the stone.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Diamond Color<\/h3>\n<p>\nDiamond color measures the absence of color within a white diamond. Generally, diamonds with less visible color are considered more valuable because they appear brighter and more brilliant.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Diamant Helderheid<\/h3>\n<p>\nClarity refers to the natural inclusions and blemishes found inside or on the surface of a diamond. However, many inclusions are microscopic and do not affect the visual beauty of the diamond.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Diamond Carat Weight<\/h3>\n<p>\nCarat weight measures the size of a diamond. Larger diamonds are rarer and often more valuable, although overall beauty also depends heavily on cut, clarity, and color quality.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Certified Diamonds & Authenticity<\/h2>\n<p>\nAt Belgium Diamonds, we believe certification is one of the most important factors when purchasing a diamond.
