Essentially, based on research and history of use, the scale of one to ten as diamond quality is concerned.

The first benefit of buying a 10 carat diamond ring from Miss Diamond Ring is that it will give you the feeling that the sun is sparkling from your ring finger. A good reason for this rare experience is because a high-quality diamond has so many refractions or mirror images from all directions inside cubic zirconia that it gives the impression of a larger stone. As far as diamonds are concerned, clarity can be compared with beauty. If two 10 carat diamonds were put together, one having higher brightness than the other, more light would travel through side B rather than side A. This would result in an increased sparkle and fire. This happens because light passes through each face of a 10 carat diamond giving it its brilliance or sparkle every time we admire it.

A benefit that you can relate to is the durability of a 10 carat diamond ring and the fact that apparently, diamonds are one of the hardest stones out there. Diamonds can last thousands of years, if not more, instead of other gems like rubies and sapphires whose hardness falls at 9 and 9.5 respectively on Moh’s scale for measuring gemstones’ hardness (Diamond measures 1000). For this reason, no other stone out there could ever beat diamonds in terms of durability and harshness over other gems. It has been tested that diamonds can resist scratches from minerals like corundum (ruby) and spinel, which are pretty sharp. No other stones out there can compete with diamonds in terms of longevity, and this is because it is chemically inert, making it harmless to our bodies.

Diamonds are known for their high brilliance, meaning they can act as a prism splitting light into its constituent rainbow colors, giving it that sparkle we have been talking about. Diamonds have a unique quality in which they disperse white light into a spectrum of colors without absorbing any color, thus causing fire or the “dispersion” of light into different colors. This has led scientists to conclude that a diamond’s chemical composition does not change when exposed to inner bond radiation. Therefore, its value remains unchanged over time.

Another reason why diamonds are by far better than any other gems out there is because of their chemical and physical properties and high thermal conductivity. Diamonds’ thermal conductivity consists entirely of carbon. When heat changes in temperature, diamond’s atoms rush back and forth, causing it to conduct heat well, thus making it a very efficient conductor (Diamond shows heat at 370 times the rate of copper). The beauty about this particular property is that it makes diamonds extremely brilliant compared with other gemstones like sapphires and rubies, whose color can change when their environment changes therefore losing their value at an alarming rate.
