Purchasing a diamond is one of the most important decisions you have to make. It is important to become educated about diamonds so that you can be in a position to make the best choice. We have included some information below to help you in your search for a diamond.
We recommend taking into account the following factors when choosing a diamond.
1. Shape
The shape of a diamond is its visual form. The most popular shape is the round brilliant cut diamond. For a more unique look, many opt for a fancy cut diamond such as princess, emerald or pear shaped. Deciding on the diamond’s shape is often the starting point in searching for your diamond. The diamond shape right for you is a matter of personal preference and will determine the look of your jewellery.

2. The 4Cs
When choosing your diamond, you are likely to hear mention of the “4Cs” – cut, colour, clarity and carat. These characteristics of a diamond determine its beauty, rarity and value. Diamonds which have a combination of higher 4Cs gradings are more rare and thus, higher in value. A good balance of the 4Cs is recommended within a given budget.

3. Certification
Your chosen diamond should be certified by an internationally recognised independent laboratory, with a certificate setting out its unique characteristics. We recommend diamonds that have been certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) Laboratory, the most recognised and highly regarded organisation for grading diamonds.
All certified diamonds purchased from Daniella come with a complimentary certificate from the GIA so you can gain comfort that the price of your diamond reflects it value.
