The Most Beautiful Thing In The World...

[Perfect Diamond]

Below is a photo of a perfect diamond as well as my avatar. A perfect diamond is D- colorless and Flawless or IF- Internally Flawless. Why is it that I say that a perfect diamond is the most beautiful thing in the world?

I have seen so many beautiful materials and nothing come close to a perfect diamond. Most diamonds in the world are tinted yellow or brown and a colorless and flawless perfect diamond accounts for less than 1% of the total diamonds mined each year.

Color in a diamond acts as a filter. It filters light and the diamond will have lesser brilliance, fire and scintillation. Flaws and inclusions can also hinder the prismatic effect of color in the diamond. A diamond with the best combination of the 4 C's of diamond value will be the rarest and most beautiful and therefore among the highest prized gems in the world.

Although fancy colored diamonds can also be extremely expensive. They will never be as beautiful as white perfect diamonds. These gems are so rare that they have been once reserve for royalties, heads of governments and filmstars. Perhaps, these are the only people who can afford to buy them. These diamonds are one in a hundred million but everyone who knows how to look for them can easily have them. It's only a matter of knowing the right people who can sell them to you at the right time. I have owned one that's why I know how beautiful they are...
