{"product_id":"2940012327253","title":"A Guide To Diamonds","description":"Diamonds are measured in Carat Weight. \u003cbr\u003eOne carat weighs 200 milligrams. If a \u003cbr\u003ediamond is referred to as four grains, this \u003cbr\u003ealso means that it is a one carat diamond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe word Carat comes from the word carob. \u003cbr\u003eA carob is a bean that grows on a tree in the \u003cbr\u003eMediterranean. In times past, if a diamond \u003cbr\u003eweighed the same as a carob bean, it was \u003cbr\u003eone carob, or one carat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, in the far east, where Carob trees \u003cbr\u003edo not grow, rice was used to measure the \u003cbr\u003eweight of a diamond. If a diamond weighed \u003cbr\u003eas much as four grains of rice, it was four \u003cbr\u003egrains – or one carat as we know it to be \u003cbr\u003enow. The majority of diamond purchases \u003cbr\u003eare for diamonds that are 1\/3 of a carat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeware when shopping for diamonds that \u003cbr\u003eare already set or mounted. If more than one \u003cbr\u003ediamond is used in the piece, the tag on the \u003cbr\u003ejewelry will give the CTW or Carat Total \u003cbr\u003eWeight – it does not tell you the carat weight \u003cbr\u003eof each stone in the piece. You need to ask \u003cbr\u003ethe jeweler for the total carat weight of the \u003cbr\u003elargest diamond in the piece to truly \u003cbr\u003eunderstand what you are buying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeres what you'll learn in this new information packed Diamond guide....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Are Diamonds Really Rare?\u003cbr\u003e* About Diamond Weights\u003cbr\u003e* All About the Clarity of Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e* Bonded Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e* Choosing The Cut of A Diamond\u003cbr\u003e* Colored Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e* Diamond Brands and What They Mean\u003cbr\u003e* Diamond Certificates\u003cbr\u003e* Diamond Grading Reports\u003cbr\u003e* How Diamonds Are Cut\u003cbr\u003e* Buying Diamonds Online\u003cbr\u003e* Diamond Scams\u003cbr\u003e* Famous Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e* How Diamonds Are Mined\u003cbr\u003e* How Diamond Prices Are Determined\u003cbr\u003e* How to Buy Diamond Engagement Rings\u003cbr\u003e* How to Care for Your Diamond\u003cbr\u003e* How to Clean your Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e* How to Sell A Diamond\u003cbr\u003e* How to Spot A Fake Diamond\u003cbr\u003e* Selecting Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e* Synthetic Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e* What Are Dirty Diamonds?\u003cbr\u003e* Where Diamonds are Mined\u003cbr\u003e* Insuring Your Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDownload \"A Guide To Diamonds\" Now!","brand":"Michelle Tason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078749470960,"sku":"2940012327253","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012327253_p0.jpg?v=1763554901","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012327253","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
