Diamonds are forever…

Reese Witherspoon announced her engagement to Jim, after being proposed to with a 4-carat Ashoka diamond stunner with a platinum band.

The Ashoka Diamond is truly a rare treasure with less than 10% of rough diamonds each year possessing the potential to become an Ashoka cut diamond. Cut to be visibly larger with new dimensions not seen on a more traditional cut and visibly more brilliant with 62 displayed facets and rounded corners which create a dazzling sparkle, the Ashoka is the perfect diamond.
Diamonds are forever, and it is a known fact that diamond jewellery does not come cheap. As the weight and size of a diamond increases, its price increases as well. Diamonds have four main important elements also known as four C’s and if any of the element is missing then it does not make it a good diamond. Cut, clarity, colour and carat weight are the four components and jewellers rank diamonds on the basis of these four components.
Cut is one of the most important factors as the brilliance of diamonds depends on its cut which is also considered to be a crucial part. Usually diamonds contains some inner flaws due to which it decreases its clear visibility. These flaws are created during the formation process which is a natural procedure. If the diamonds are clear then it is expected that they will be highly priced as compared to those which lack clarity.
