Here are some amazing information displays of Diamonds. I found these notes and think this email is pertinent to your learning of a diamond.
Everyone knows what the famous 4C's are, they are here in the greatest detail.
"Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat".
These categories are not just in simple words, all through this essay are colourful pieces of information.
Here are $1.3 million dollars of diamonds.
Here are two shapes of stones "Round & Princess-Cut", also known as "Square".
This photo displays what a Diamond Polisher is doing. This skilled craftsperson is holding a diamond crystal in a "Dobb" and allowing a revolving steel wheel that has literally diamond-dust grinding facets to the diamond crystal.
The lubricant that is on the surface of the wheel has minute particles of diamonds that have been polished off and this dust and only this dust will cut and shape the diamond.
No other granules known will help the craftsperson to do this kind of 'shaping'.
From a diamond crystal as shown, two diamonds will come from this one stone. The 'planning stages' of finding where the grain of the stone lays, is an integral part of being a Diamond Polisher.
Hidden inside every 'diamond crystal' are two diamonds as shown here. It is the task of the Diamond Polisher to expose these two stones to be seen in all of its glory.
From a crystal initially weighing 11.121 carats, these two stones now weigh 5.372 carats in total weight.
The Diamond Polisher must now look into every crystal to determine where the best angle will be to 'cut & saw' the stone. The main concern is to locate where the "grain" is located, if not located accurately, any pressure will break or shatter the diamond in half. Thus leaving the crystal into literally diamond 'dust and shavings'.
The proper name for this crystal is a "Boart". This is what every diamond looks like when it's removed from the ground.
From every crystal, two newer diamonds can be created (as shown). 
These 5 diagrams explain in detail how the progression of Sawing and Faceting a gemstone occurs. The correct name for "Rounded" is "Girdling". It is when the Polisher actually starts the detailed 'shaping' process.
The name "Lopped" is the start of the "Faceting process" into an 8-sided & faceted stone. The name "Finished" is when all of the 57 facets are then created into a fully designed diamond.

These are the ideas on how to decide how to select and choose a new diamond.
This is a genuine set of diamond butterflies using the Pave' method of stone setting.
Here the full-colour range of diamonds starts from "White" to "Intense Pink".
After all of your stone selection has been completed, these diamonds can be made into fine-quality jewellery.
The "4 C's" are explained here in the greatest detail. The 'COLOUR' is being shown in great looking multi-colours.
Here are the 10 shapes of Diamonds. The "Round" shape is the most common in today's market.
This is one of the most important essays that I've come across lately. I felt that it needs to be explored in full and shared with YOU.
As I'm Canadian, the spelling of 'Colour" has not been misspelt all through this essay.
