I’ll include tips and pointers on how to buy or sell a diamond, including details about the four C’s of diamond value: color, clarity, cut and carat and a section on man-made diamonds and diamond simulants (including Cubic Zirconia, Moissanite, and rhinestones.) There’s even information about treatments that make a diamond look better.

If you are looking for information about buying diamond engagement rings or wedding bands, diamond jewelry styles or jewelry care, or about selling a diamond, or about diamond companies and mines around the world, about historic gemstones, or about diamonds in books, movies or television, you will eventually find it here.

Last but not least, for the diamond history buff there’s information about famous gemstones and some famous diamond owners, too.
