Why do diamonds twinkle?

Diamonds are cut and polished geometrically in order to reflect and refract light. A diamond's ability to 'twinkle' is one of the four characteristics one examines when buying a diamond: its name is cut. Others are clarity, colour and carat weight. A tiny change in light angle, or position of the diamond, will alter the light path through the gem (caused by the gem's internal matrix and its external angles). To the observer's eye, this light will fluctuate in brightness (twinkling), as starlight does when refracted by the atmosphere.

Anything is 'worth' what someone will pay you for it. In order to establish a value for your diamond, take it to a certified gemologist who can document its carat weight, colour, clarity and cut. Further, the gemologist will authenticate your diamond as a natural diamond, a treated stone, or a man-made diamond. With this document -- expect to pay for it -- you'll be able to establish a market value for your diamond. Read more below, to learn more about the possibilities. Generally, natural black diamonds, properly Carbonado, are priced a little less than natural clear or colourless diamonds of the same carat weight. Treated and man-made diamonds coloured black are substantially less valuable.
