Many people are curious to know why one diamond may be worth so much more than another diamond that looks similar. This can be explained through the 4C Diamond grading system. Our dedicated staff at East Coast Pawn of Bridgeport will happily explain in detail why diamonds receive the grading they do. Here is a brief explanation of the 4C Diamond grading system and also what doesn’t influence diamond value as described on the BlueNile Diamond website.
| Clarity | Almost all diamonds have tiny imperfections. Diamonds with few or no imperfections receive the highest clarity grades |
| Cut | The cut of a diamond determines its brilliance. Put simply, the better a diamond is cut, the more sparkle it will have. |
| Carat | This is the term with which people are most familiar, but bear in mind that carat is specifically a measure of a diamond's weight. |
| Color | A diamond's color grade actually refers to the lack of color. In other words, diamonds that are white, containing little or no color, receive higher quality grades than those with visible color |
What doesn't have any influence on the value of a diamond is shape. As the name suggests, shape (round, oval, pear, etc.) describes a diamond's form, primarily as viewed from above. All diamond shapes have different attributes, but overall the beauty of the individual shapes is a matter of personal taste.
At East Coast Pawn we will honestly and knowledgeably evaluate the jewelry you bring in for sale. Our staff uses the most current metal testing and stone valuing techniques available. This allows us to share our knowledge to both the customers who are selling us their jewelry and those that want to purchase our jewelry.
When you present your jewelry for sale, we will test it and offer a fair market value. We base our offer on current market metal values along with the stone weight and accessed worth. This includes silver/gold/platinum and stones from pearls to colored gem stones to diamonds.
Purchasing pearls or colored gem stone jewelry can be particularly attractive because it is affordable and beautiful. At the same time, the main drawback for most of us owning a diamond is the cost. No matter what our financial status, we all have dreams of one day owning a beautiful gem stone, or diamond piece of jewelry. Our staff will help you determine how to make this purchase a reality for you.
At East Coast Pawn we invite you to allow our courteous and helpful staff to help you find the piece of jewelry that fits your taste as well as your personal investment possibilities.
