This can result in different internal characteristics, these are called \u201cinclusions\u201d, external characteristics are known as \u201cblemishes\u201d.No two diamonds have the same inclusions &amp; blemishes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col medium-3 small-6 large-3\"  ><div class=\"col-inner text-left\"  >\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" ><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" style=\"color:rgb(187, 156, 103);\">Cut<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div><!-- .section-title -->\n<p>Diamonds are known for their ability to transmit light and have amazing scintillation. The cut is one of the most important factors you must keep in mind when choosing a diamond, how well does it sparkle?

It is the weight of the stone. A metric \u201ccarat\u201d is 200 milligrams. A carat can be subdivided into 100 \u2018points\u2019, allowing a very precise measurement to the hundredth decimal place.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"lead\" style=\"font-size: 150%; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #bb9c67;\">Fluorescence<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This is the visible light some diamonds emit when they are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays.
