A
good understanding of loose diamonds is necessary
before you begin shoppping. We've put the basics
together here to help guide you. Learning about
loose diamonds is really learning about the
"four Cs" of diamonds - cut, clarity,
color and carat weight. These are the criteria
jewelers use when grading loose diamonds, and
they're the ones you'll need to understand to
find the right diamond for you.
Cut
is probably the most important, and most
challenging, of the four Cs to understand. The
brilliance of a loose diamond depends heavily on
its cut. Mondera carries only the better grades
of diamond cut, to ensure that your jewelry is as
beautiful as possible. Read more
about Loose Diamond Cut.
Most
loose diamonds contain some inner flaws, or
inclusions, that occur during the formation
process. The visibility, number and size of these
inclusions determine what is called the clarity
of a diamond. Loose diamonds that are clear
create more brilliance, and thus are more highly
prized, and priced. Read more
about Loose Diamond Clarity.
Colorless
diamonds are the most desirable since they allow
the most refraction of light (sparkle). Off white
diamonds absorb light, inhibiting brilliance. To
ensure that your Mondera jewelry is of the
highest quality, we've preselected our loose
diamonds to eliminate those of lesser color
grades. Read more

A
carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is
measured. Because large loose diamonds are found
less commonly than small diamonds, the price of a
diamond rises exponentionaly to its size. Read more
about Loose Diamond Carat Weight.
The
diamond certificate, which is sometimes called a
grading report, is a complete evaluation of your
loose diamond that has been performed by a
qualified professional with the help of special
gemological instruments. Each stone bears its own
recognizable, individual characteristics, which
is listed on the certificate. Read more
about Loose Diamond Certificates.
