eternity. This represents roughly 70% of all diamond shapes sold. Other popular stones are the Oval, Radiant, and Emerald.

They are important as they are the industry standard but you should also take into account![0.70ct-Round-Cut-Diamond]()
that elements like improving diamond clarity can be unnecessary as once the diamond is eye
clean you are paying extra for something that is not noticeable. There are a lot of videos and data done on diamond information on most jwellers websites. I’d advise viewing just one so you know the lingo. Out diamond education section is at: https://www.perfectring.ie/the-four-cs
