However, there is a set\nof criteria that, when fulfilled, guarantee that a diamond is considered\nvaluable. Namely, its colour, which is graded from D to Z (D being the grade\nattributed to diamonds that are the closest possible to being colourless \u2013 as\nfor coloured diamonds, the ones we call \u2018fancy\u2019 diamonds, that is a whole different\nmatter); its clarity, which has to do with the amount of inclusions the diamond\npresents (this grading varies from the desired F \u2013 \u2018flawless\u2019 \u2013 and I3, in\nwhich inclusions are several and visible); its cut grading, which defines the\nway the diamond was cut so as to enhance its \u2018fire\u2019, maximizing the intensity\nof its shine; and its carat weight, the bigger diamonds being rarer. Considering\nthese factors, we can easily understand that a diamond which combines good\ngradings in all the criteria can be extremely valuable \u2013 and, therefore, a good\ninvestment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in considering investing in diamonds,\nspecialized advice is always essential, and therefore, the role of an\nauthorized expert, who evaluates the gem or the work of a diamond jeweller with\nthe required precision and safety, is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Evaluation <\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>J.Baptista has certified <a href=\"https:\/\/josebaptista.com\/wp\/avaliacoes\/?lang=en\">evaluators<\/a>, with vast experience, who can evaluate your precious stones with all safety in a complete gemmology laboratory, offering evaluation services and the certification of precious stones.
