When a diamond is discovered, how will its value be decided? Where does it go next? What determines the type of polished diamond it will become? Each diamond, due to its unique and remarkable three-billion-year-old journey, will dictate a different outcome, so each crystal is considered in turn.
- Learn how nature actually decides the shape, color, quality and carat weight of a diamond.
- Uncover how these four qualities are assessed by De Beers Group experts.
- Discover the complex steps a diamond has to take before it is placed into the hands of the cutter, and its inner beauty is revealed.
This webinar assisted in helping sales associates speak confidently to customers about the complex assessment and decision making that goes into delivering a diamond into a finished and polished form. Associates learned how the story of the resulting 4 C’s can potentially increase sales, by educating customers on the rarity and uniqueness of each natural diamond.
