“Diamonds are a woman’s best friend”, this advertisement did manage to increase the sales of diamonds amongst the population, but people still didn't seem to know any important details about the diamonds they own.

We know that diamonds come in different shapes and may differ in their color and quality. But we still don't completely understand it.

There is a lot more to consider when determining the true value of the diamond.

Diamonds are very expensive and can cost you a fortune when you purchase them but will get you nothing when you try selling a diamond.
