That&#8217;s the first step, <strong>a shape that&#8217;s desirable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Beauty comes next&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>\nBeauty is <strong>how the stone faces up<\/strong>, how much it <strong>shines and sparkles<\/strong>. And this is achieved through the shape, polish and symmetry. When it all comes together <strong>the result is beauty<\/strong>. A stone that&#8217;s faceted well will be brightly lit (<strong>not dark or dull, full of shadows<\/strong>; like an <strong>ugly black bowtie<\/strong>). Good diamonds are <strong>full of life<\/strong> and <strong>fire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nA beautiful diamond also doesn&#8217;t have <strong>distracting glaring flaws<\/strong>, like huge eye-visible imperfections (most notably <strong>black spots or cracks\/fissures<\/strong>). Most diamonds do have inclusions, but you don&#8217;t want ones where <strong>the flaw is dead center <\/strong>or quite obvious. Which is why I recommend purchasing <strong>SI2 clarity diamonds<\/strong> or higher (called <strong>eye-clean<\/strong> diamonds). That way all the flaws are <strong>microscopic only<\/strong>, you won&#8217;t see them with the bare eye.<\/p>\n<p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/pear-shaped\/1.52-carat-f-color-si2-clarity-sku-5715987?a_aid=JSDG\">This particular diamond I chose<\/a>, has &#8220;<strong>excellent<\/strong>&#8221; grades in both symmetry and polish (those are the highest grades you can get). These, along with <strong>no fluorescence<\/strong>, and an <strong>F color<\/strong> (pure white diamond that helps the diamond look brighter and bigger), give you what I call, <strong>a perfect pear diamond<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p><h2>Take a peek:<\/h2>\n<p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/pear-shaped\/1.52-carat-f-color-si2-clarity-sku-5715987?a_aid=JSDG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Perfect-Pear-Shaped-Diamond.jpg\" alt=\"Perfect Pear Shaped Diamond\" title=\"Perfect Pear Shaped Diamond\" width=\"640\" height=\"725\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Perfect-Pear-Shaped-Diamond.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Perfect-Pear-Shaped-Diamond-88x100.jpg 88w, https:\/\/www.jewelry-secrets.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Perfect-Pear-Shaped-Diamond-265x300.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color:#87c1fc\" valign=\"top\"><strong>CARAT, CLARITY, COLOR, POL, SYM, FLUOR<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color:#87c1fc\" valign=\"top\"><strong>PRICE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color:#87c1fc\" valign=\"top\"><strong>VIEW<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF\" valign=\"top\"><strong>1.00, SI2, F, EX, EX, NONE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF\" valign=\"top\"><strong>$8,560<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF\" valign=\"top\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/pear-shaped\/1.52-carat-f-color-si2-clarity-sku-5715987?a_aid=JSDG\">VIEW<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>\nDo realize that under magnification (<strong>20x shown above<\/strong>), you will <strong>see the flaws easily<\/strong> (this is how they grade diamonds).
