How to Estimate the Value of the Diamond in Your Antique Jewelry?

If you have a piece of antique jewelry that contains a diamond, you may wonder what really determines the value of your stone. In the diamond industry, there are four characteristics called the four C’s, that determine the overall value of the stone should it come to auction or market. The four C’s are carats, color, clarity, and cut. The first C, carats, refers to the size of the diamond measured in a unit of weight called a carat. Generally, the diamond in your antique jewelry will be worth more if the size of the stone is large. The size of the stone is not always the main factor in contributing to the value, however. For example, a stone that is large but has many flaws or is an off color will not be worth as much as a smaller, flawless stone with excellent color. Color is the second C in the diamond industry. Natural diamonds come in a variety of colors, with most ranging between pure white and yellow. The closer to pure white the stone is, the more valuable the stone. Colors are graded on a scale from D to Z, with D being the most desirable. In addition to white and yellow stones, diamonds also come in exotic colors like red, green, pink, orange, and blue. These colors are derived from internal flaws or the addition of different elements into the crystal matrix of the diamond. These naturally colored stones fetch premium prices and are difficult to procure. The clarity of a diamond refers to how well it transmits light and how clear it is. Diamonds often have flaws inside of them called inclusions that can make a stone look cloudy. Diamonds are graded on a scale from flawless to heavily included. Flawless diamonds or slightly included diamonds cost much more than diamonds with a lot of inclusions. Finally, the cut of your diamond from your antique jewelry helps to determine the price. In antique jewelry, you are most likely to find cuts that do not transmit light very well or cuts that don’t allow a diamond to sparkle and shine like modern cuts. It was not until the early 20th century that the round brilliant cut that dominates today’s diamond market was created. A well cut stone that allows the diamond’s fire to come out will boost the value of the stone. If you have antique jewelry with a diamond or other precious stone in it, take it to a jeweler to get appraised. The experts there can help you to determine your diamond’s four C’s and to estimate the price of the gem.
