Viewing diamonds

When viewing diamonds you should observe them under different types of light.
This is due to the fact that under one type of light you may not notice the flaw on your diamond.
The most important type of light the diamond should be viewed under is natuarl sunlight this is because this is how you will be viewing your diamond the most. A good quality diamond should sparkle and dazzle under light.

Diamonds the hardest substance of earth

Although diamonds are the hardest substance on earth they are not indestructable. They can chip and they can scratch but chips can be fixed. They can be repaired by polishing or using a substance that can fill in chips and make the diamond look better.
