However, it's the combination of the four C's that will determine a diamond's true value: Carat, clarity, cut, and color. The weight of a diamond is measured in carats abbreviated to ct originally derived from the word carob, in ancient times this seed was worn to measure the weight of gemstones. As a rule, the larger the carat, the more cherished the diamond. Referring to the purity of a diamond, clarity measures the presence of blemishes known as inclusions in a diamond. As the number, size and location of an inclusion affects the flow of light through a diamond, causing some of the sparkle to be lost, clarity is an crucial measure of a diamond's worth. The uppermost quality diamonds are colorless and reflect light best. Fluorescence appears when a diamond is exposed to ultraviolet light, but usually has no effect on a diamond in steady light conditions. Diamonds are graded on a color scale ranging from D, colorless and rare, through to Z. The cut is the only quality of the four C's not determined by nature, and relies on a adept craftsman to create the accurate angles, proportions and symmetry of the facets of a diamond, ensuring light is dispersed and reflected creating its sparkle and brilliance. Ultimately, the shape of a diamond comes down to personal taste. Pure gold jewellery never goes out of style it retains its value, is long lasting, can be manipulated into any shape, and has been worn for over 6,00 years to make prized jewellery pieces. Because spotless gold is too soft to oversee on its own, other metals are added to the gold, resulting in an alloy this is a blended mixture ensuring durability necessary for use in jewellery. Just as gold comes in various colors, it also comes in different parities and is measured in cartage (carat ct or karat, as used in the USA), the term used to describe how spotless the gold metal is, not to be confused with carats, the unit of measurement for diamonds and gemstones. Pure gold is 24 carats, very soft and generally unsuitable for use in jewellery, unless combined with an alloy. The carat indicates how many parts out of 24 in the gold alloy are gold. For pieces that will end a lifetime and beyond, purchase the highest quality gold jewellery your budget will allow. Check your watch's water resistance and adhere strictly to instructions in your manufacturer's instructions. For information for caring for a water resistant watches, see our section on water resistance. Should water or condensation appear in your watch face, have it checked by a watch specialist. Avoid exposing your watch to strong electric fields or static electricity as the magnetic effect may cause your watch to lose or gain time. If your watch has been used in salt water and is not designed to avoid corrosion, have it checked by a watch specialist. The buttons on a water immune watch must not be pressed whilst the watch is under water or calm wet. An spontaneous watch has a movement similar to a mechanical watch, but it 'self winds' using the movement of the wearer. (It is worth noting that natural watches may not be pertinent for everyone, as they require ample body movement to generate the power needed to wind the mainspring sufficiently and thus maintain the correct time).
