Invest in your diamonds carefully

New Delhi, May 18 It is important to be careful when it comes to investing in diamonds. Factors like color, shape, and cut of the expensive stone are extremely important, say experts.

• Good color or clarity diamonds or even solitaires are a good option to purchase from a renowned place as they offer certified pieces only that have a good resale value.

• Before purchasing, always remember to identify the shape and design of the diamonds you wish to buy. If in doubt, opt for a round shape as it is always eternally grateful.

• Two diamonds can be of equal Karat weight but differ in value according to their cut, color, and clarity. Study the 4Cs of a diamond and remember to match it with your budget.
