Critical Facts for Buying Diamond Jewelry

The diamond is unique in the hierarchy of gems. Its elegance has been treasured since its discovery.

As an admirer of diamonds for engagement rings, whether past, present or future, one may wonder why there is such variation in price from store to store. What characteristics constitute a $5,000 diamond versus one that costs only $500?

Diamonds are graded based on 4 criteria. The first of these is referred to as the carat, which is a measurement of the weight. The more carats the more expensive a diamond becomes. Size is not the only factor that matters however, remember: it is what is on the inside that counts.

Carat size may push the price up, but only slightly if there is no clarity. Several facets determine clarity on both an internal and external basis. Internal aspects, dubbed inclusions, and external aspects, dubbed blemishes, all contribute to the overall clarity score.

The clarity of a diamond can vary from ‘pure’ to heavily included. This designation is arrived at after anaylyzing the how many inclusions are found as well where the inclusions are located, whether they are tinted, and how large they are.

These differences are due to the cooling process of the diamonds against other materials. Lack of clarity is a lack of perfection. A diamond is forever, and no one wants to be stuck with an imperfect one forever; therefore, this impacts the price.

The gardens are divided into three features, all of them pyramids. The first one being the Aquarium, a pyramid that hosts aquatic life, whether freshwater or not. The second, the Rain forest pyramid contains tropical plants and animals, some coming from the other side of the world. The third attraction, the Discovery pyramid, acts like a museum that hosts branches of science and its wonders. Currently, there’s a fourth attraction, the Palm beach, where a sandy lagoon could be seen, most children preferring this over the first three.

The Aquarium pyramid is a blue pyramid that rises above 12 stories high. The 8000 species that can be found here, fishes, plants, mammals, vertebrates and invertebrates alike, are gathered from all four corners of the world. The four corners being the Caribbean exhibit, the South Atlantic exhibit, the North Pacific exhibit and the South Pacific Exhibit.

The Rain forest pyramid, currently closed but will open on April 25, hosts at least 2000 species of plants and animals found in rain forests across the world. There are three rain forests being currently hosted by the pyramid, the Asian Rain forest, the African rain forest and the American rain forest. The Asian rain forest includes the forests of Australia and the Pacific Ring of Fire. The African rain forest exhibit has some commercial plants that can only be found in the area. The American rain forest, meanwhile, stretches its reach from South to North.
