Diamond Color

When jewelers speak of a diamond's color, they are usually referring to the presence or absence of color in white diamonds. Color is a result of the composition of the diamond, and it never changes over time.

the Four Cs Of Diamonds

Diamond Color

Because a colorless diamond, like a clear window, allows more light to pass through it than a colored diamond, colorless diamonds emit more sparkle and fire. The formation process of a diamond ensures that only a few, rare diamonds are truly colorless. Thus the whiter a diamond's color, the greater its value.

Diamonds graded G through I show virtually no color that is visible to the untrained eye.

[NOTE: Fancy color diamonds do not follow this rule. These diamonds, which are very rare and very expensive, can be any color from blue to green to bright yellow. They are actually more valuable for their color.]

To grade 'whiteness' or colorlessness, most jewelers refer to GIA's professional color scale that begins with the highest rating of D for colorless, and travels down the alphabet to grade stones with traces of very faint or light yellowish or brownish color. The color scale continues all the way to Z.

Which Color Grade Should I Choose?
Diamonds graded D through F are naturally the most valuable and desirable because of their rarity. Such diamonds are a treat for the eyes of anyone. But you can still obtain very attractive diamonds that are graded slightly less than colorless. And diamonds graded G through I show virtually no color that is visible to the untrained eye.

If your setting is white gold or platinum, you may wish to opt for a higher color grade than if the setting is yellow gold.

And while a very, very faint hint of yellow will be apparent in diamonds graded J through M, this color can often be minimized by carefully selecting the right jewelry in which to mount your diamond. Keep in mind that, while most people strive to buy the most colorless diamond they can afford, there are many people who actually prefer the warmer glow of lower-color diamonds.

What is Flourescence?
Fluorescence is an effect that is seen in some gem-quality diamonds when they are exposed to long-wave ultraviolet light (such as the lighting frequently seen in dance clubs). Under most lighting conditions, this fluorescence is not detectable to the eye. While most gemologists prefer diamonds without this effect, some people enjoy it. It's really just a matter of aesthetics. Learn more about Diamond Fluorescence.

A successful leader is a person who takes full responsibility in their role as a leader, but also enjoys the process. The people on your team respect you. These people count on you to give them advice when they need it, wisdom and knowledge for growth; they count on you for guidance, support, motivation and more.

Your team is watching you, so be the best role model you can be. If you want your team to model your success, you have to continue to lead and seek ways to continue to improve your own personal development The responsibility of a leader includes:

A positive mental attitude. Attitude is everything in your personal life, and a positive attitude makes good sense in your business as well. So keep your mind positive at all times. It can have a good affect on you and your business.

Training your members on the skill they need to develop personally, in their life and how to build their business. Leaders give their members the knowledge they need to go out on their own and generate leads for their business. They teach their members how to work in their business, by networking, holding training sessions, meetings, and work on their business by educating them how to use their marketing skills to advance to another level. Leaders teach the team to develop a critical eye to take a look within the business and see what's working and what is not. If something is not working in the business, they know how to come up with new methods or approach to the problem. For example, if the member is not getting enough inquiries from her website, the member will try different wording in the message on the website or try resources like facebook or twitter social network sites for a broader audience.

Leaders support their team. They help their members anyway they possibly can. Leaders make themselves available. They listen and give advice, mentor those who want to succeed.

Leaders are professionals that attend important events, meetings, training, conventions, conference calls These people are eager to learn. They know this helps their own personal growth. Events keep them abreast of their business industry, it makes them experts in their field, and the team comes to them for advice. The members see the leader as an excellent example for building success, so they will want to follow in the footsteps of a leader.

Leaders keep balance in their lives. They know how to balance their professional, family, and social life Leaders know that to keep being the best they can in all areas of their life; they have to know how much of their time is needed to nurture their personal life to keep happy relationships and keep a strong thriving business.

Leaders empower the team to also be leaders. No sponsor wants their members to be dependent on her to work for them. They teach the team to be proactive, and take the initiative to do things for themselves.

Follow these tips and watch your business, and those of your team grow. You will help your people grow to be successful leaders in their own business. You will build a solid retention business that duplicates the necessary steps to success.
