How do you know how much a diamond is worth? Experts use scales to judge diamonds based on the four Cs of diamond grading—carat, color, cut, and clarity. How a diamond ranks in each category determines its value. If you’re wondering about the value of a diamond you own or are considering buying, take the time to learn what makes some diamonds more precious than others.
Carat: When measuring any gem, experts use carats—units of mass. The bigger a diamond’s mass is, the more valuable it is. The world’s largest diamond weighs more than 500 carats. Most jewelry, however, contains stones weighing a carat or less.
Cut: Although many casual diamond connoisseurs don’t consider cut when determining value, expert diamond buyers and sellers know the cut is very important. The quality of a diamond’s cut affects how much it sparkles and shines, and excellent cuts can make diamonds look considerably larger.
Color: The less color a diamond has, the more value it has. Clear diamonds are considered to be higher quality, while colorful diamonds are considered impure. Diamonds of lower quality will have yellow or brownish hues. Brown diamonds, also called chocolate diamonds, are gaining popularity in the industry and may have higher value.
Clarity: Clarity assesses the number of blemishes on a diamond’s surface as well as inside the stone. Under a microscope, a professional appraiser can grade the diamond based on its inner and outer clarity. Fewer blemishes lead to a higher value.
If you’re seeking diamonds of the highest value or are looking to sell your diamonds, the four Cs of diamond grading will determine the value of your diamond.

Thanks to the gold refining industry, you can throw a party that actually earns a profit. Instead of throwing away money buying party favors and food, invite your friends over to sell old gold. With continuously high gold prices, you can have a great time and earn quite a profit:
- Determine the Value of Your Gold
Before you start to immerse yourself in the details of gold party-planning, go through your old jewelry and diamonds to try to determine how much they are worth. Weigh each piece and calculate the karat weight to figure out the value based on the current price of gold. On top of the commission you receive from a gold refiner, you can earn some extra cash for your own pieces.
In order to have the best, and most profitable, experience at your gold home party, you have to pick the right gold buyer. Do some research to find a company that will give you the best prices. You also want to work with a gold buyer that has a lot of experience working with precious metals and has a good reputation among the community.
The more people you invite to your party, the bigger chance you have to earn big money. Even though the evening will revolve around getting rid of old jewelry, you can still have a blast at the party. Start going through your phone book and send out invitations to friends, acquaintances, and work colleagues. Ask some of your friends to bring guests so you can have a bigger turnout and potentially meet some new friends.
Work with General Refining Corporation to throw a fun and profitable gold home party. Our gold, silver, and platinum refining services are recovered and marketed for the jewelry trade. To learn more about our refining services, please visit us online or call (516) 209-4414.
