How to buy a radiant cut loose diamond?


Buying guide
Diamonds can be bought either with jewellery or as a loose diamond. The advantage of buying a radiant cut loose diamond is that it is a diamond ready for use and the choice of its usage is left to you - in a ring, pendant, or necklace. If you were thinking of buying cut loose diamonds, here is a guide to help you:
1)    The radiant cut diamond is preferred when you buy loose diamonds as these type of diamonds have trimmed corners and exhibit brilliance. It has the best features of the different popular diamond cuts.
2)    The cut grade of the diamond is classified from Excellent to Poor. The grade of the cut determines how the facets have been carved on the diamond. The better the cut grade, the higher is the sparkling radiance of the diamond.
3)    When you buy a radiant cut loose diamond, you would buy it based on how many carats you want. Carat is the weight, where 1 carat is 200mg. Higher the carat, more the price.
4)    Diamonds are essentially white or colorless. Such diamonds are the purest and most expensive. Diamonds are graded on color from D to Z, where D is colorless and Z yellow. Depending on your requirement and budget, you can choose the color you want.
5)    The radiant cut diamond you are planning to buy in a loose form can have some inclusions or imperfections. The more the imperfections, less the clarity. Diamonds with high clarity cost more. Higher the clarity, more is the sparkle.
6)    Certification is very important when you buy loose diamonds. It assures you of quality. GIA certification is one of the popular certifications for diamonds that you must insist on when you buy diamonds in the loose.
7)    While buying, you can buy at a store or online where prices are less. If buying online, insist on certification so you can ensure a safe purchase.
You can keep the above points in mind while buying a radiant cut loose diamond. Diamonds are expensive, so while buying them consider all aspects carefully.
