The first thing to do when looking to purchase a diamond is to learn about the 4 C’s – Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat – which are the characteristics of a diamond that determine its quality and hence value. You can look at the Learn About Diamonds section and the How to Buy a Diamond page on our website as a starting point. One of our jewellers would also be happy to answer any questions you may have and show you a range of loose diamonds to choose from.
