II Read the passage and then choose one answer for each of the following questions:

Diamond value is based on four characteristics: carat, color,

clarity, and cut A diamond’s size is measured by eafât weight

There are 100 points in a carats and 142 carat in an ounce Each point above one carat is more valuable than each point below one carat Thus a stone that weighs more than one carat is more valuable per point than a stone that is smaller than one carat

é ứ y CÁC ¿'A t ÍSẠ Í tíiy ê 4 \ i l \ i tíÁ (\ty

158

T M ty if-i cA c &Ac te s t i u y ^ \ i^vc H& tviy

The scale used for rating a diamond’s color begins with “D”, which means the stone is absolutely colorless and therefore most valuable “E” and “F” are almost colorless All three are good for investments A stone rated between “G” and “J” is good for jewelry After that the stones take on a slightly yellowish color, which gets deeper as the grade declines

The clarity of a stone is determined by its lack of carbon spots, inner flaws, and surface blemishes While most of these are invisible to the unaided eye, they do affect the diamond’s brilliance For jewelry, a diamond rated W S l (very slight imperfections) is as closed to flawless as one will find After that the scale goes to VVS2, V Sl, VS2, SI 1, S12, 11, 12 and so on

The final characteristic is cut When shaped (round, oval, emerald, marquise, pear, or heart), the diamond should be faceted

so that light is directed into the depths of the prism and then reflected outward again A well-cut diamond will separate the light into different colors when reflected Only stones of similar shape are more reflective qualities compared, as some shapes are more reflective than others For example, the round shape is the most reflective
