Diamond Popularisation
De Beers embarked on an extensive companion to value this precious stone and make it one of the most popular marriage related subjects. In 1947, its advertising campaign conveyed a strong, new idea where they linked the diamond’s purity and strength with the eternal notion of love and sincerity of feelings. The slogan said "A diamond is forever".
How to Determine a Diamond’s Value
The diamond weight is expressed in carats where one carat is equal to 0.20g, and can be divided into 100 points. Therefore, a diamond of 0.75 point equals 0.75 carat.
The presence or absence of defects assesses the clarity of a diamond. The fewer defaults, the more value.
Regarding colour, the assessment is made on a scale from D to Z where the D diamonds are colourless and the most valuable.
