Diamonds are the most concentrated form of wealth in the world. When you think of marriage the first thing you think about is the Diamond Ring. So when it comes time for divorce the first thing that should come up is getting rid of that un-precious memory of your ex by selling your engagement ring and putting cash in your pocket.

The 4 C's are most often talked about when discussing diamonds. They stand for Cut, Clarity, Carat, and Color. These 4 factors determine how much your diamond ring is worth. The different types of cuts are as follows:
Round
Pear
Princess
Radiant
Marquise
Emerald
Asscher
Cushion
Oval
Heart
European Cut
Old Miner
Baguette
Kite
Star

Clarity of a diamond depends upon the amount of imperfections or inclusions which range from Flawless to very included. The ranges are as follows:
FL
IF
VVS1
VVS2
VS1
VS2
SI1
SI2
SI3
I1
I2
I3

Carat Size varies tremendously but typically when you talk about diamonds you hear "How Many Carats is it". The weight is a large part of how much a diamond is worth and typical engagement rings are 1.00 - 4.00 carats.

Finally there is Color. Not all diamonds are white. There is something called fancy colored diamonds which can be yellow, blue or even pink. White diamonds range from D-M and again are an important part of determining the value.

These gemstones have remarkable optical characteristics to them that really make them stick out well beyond any other piece of jewelry. Small defects or impurities can cause changes in colors and the amount of light that is able to disperse through the gem is characteristic of its luster.

Most natural diamonds are created from high pressure and high temperature conditions 90-125 miles below the earth's mantle. Diamonds can also be produced via high pressure and temperate processes.
