Diamonds: Learn the Four C’s

Last week, I introduced you to Tracey Holton-Garrett of Van Atkins Jewelers in Mississippi. She removed some of the mystique in caring for pearls, and I’m so glad you enjoyed her tips. This next video is all about caring for a girl’s best friend: diamonds. Not only does she give advice on cleaning large stones, but she also chats about what to look for while purchasing — the 4 C’s, if you will — carat weight, clarity, color, and cut. Make sure to check back next week for the last installment, where Tracey and I chat about updating estate pieces to pass along to loved ones.
