HOW DIAMONDS ARE PRICED
David Wackier & Sons, Detroit's
internationally famous award
winning jewelers, reveal
how to learn the true value
of a diamond before you buy.
selection of ideal cut diamonds. We have been
supplied for many years by one of the few
diamond cutters who consistently adheres to
the precise ideal cut standards.
Although the purchase of a fine diamond is a
substantial investment for most people, little
has been published on the universally
accepted scientific factors that determine the
value of all diamonds. A scarcity of such
factual information along with misleading
statements about diamond discounts has led to
some confusion about diamond prices. As
with any investment, it's wise to seek the facts
before you buy.
We have a professional obligation to share
the complete information you need to make a
sound decision in purchasing a diamond. We
present it here as a buyer's aid, and we invite
you to visit our stores where we can
demonstrate these facts and show you, at no
obligation, a full selection of fine diamonds in
any price range with comparative values you
can see for yourself.
important "C:' refers to body color, not the
surface rainbow of reflected light. Most
diamonds described as white are nearly
colorless but have a slight tinge of color.
Diamonds of a clear white, without color, are
very rare and are valued accordingly.
The four C's, the factors that determine
the value — and thus the price — of a
diamond are Cutting, Color, Clarity and
Carat Weight.
Cutting i<s the most important
factor. When a diamond is ideally cut its
fifty eight facets are placed in precise
symmetrical relationship to each other.
The facets act as a series of tiny mirrors,
constantly capturing and reflecting light back
through the top of the diamond in a brilliant
rainbow blaze, often referred to as "fire."
Light reflection in an
ideally proportioned
diamond.
In a diamond that is too deep
much of the light is reflected to
opposite facets at the wrong
angle and is lost through the
sides. The diamond appears
black in the center.
In a shallow diamond
much of the light is lost
as it fails to be reflected
at all and - leaks - out
the bottom. The
diamond appears
watery. or fisheyed.

Color in diamonds, the second most
The variations in color, degrees of
whiteness of diamonds, are often so slight
they can be detected only by an expert under
special light such as a direct north light or a
specially balanced fluorescent. The best way
to see the true color of a diamond is through
its side against a white background.
Clarity. A diamond may be called flawless
only when it has no flaws visible to the
trained eye under 10-power magnification.
_ Flawless diamonds, like colorless
diamonds, are rare and are priced
accordingly. Most diamonds contain some
flaws, called inclusions. When flaws do not
reduce a diamond's brilliance of fire,
however, or endanger its durability, they are
of minor importance and should not affect
enjoyment of your gemstone, although they
lower its cost. We will point out any flaws in
a diamond you are considering under a
high-power diamondscope.
Carat Weight, Contrary to popular
thought, carat weight alone cannot determine
the price of a diamond. Cutting, color and
clarity also determine the per-carat price.
A top color, flawless half-carat diamond, for
example, may be worth more than a warmer
color, flawed one-carat stone. Large stones,
such as three-and four-carat diamonds are
highly valued because they are rare.

decreases the total cost as well.
We let you see for yourself. We have
a scientific method of showing you how the
diamond you are considering meets the
standards we claim for it.
1.Check the all-important proportions with
our proportionseope.
2. Check the color against our permanent
master set of color-graded diamonds
assembled by the Gemological Institute of
America.
3. View the stone under a high-power
diamondscope. We will point out any flaws,
no matter how tiny.
We issue a certificate specifyi g
the precise qualities
of any major diamond you
purchase from us. This is
our own certificate and
we stand behind it. It
states clearly each charac-
teristic, including shape,
color. clarity, carat weight
and exact proportions.
