Diamond enhancement

Diamond enhancement is when diamond sellers take a diamond that's not so great and make it look better. It's like when you make a boring picture look more colorful by adding stickers!

There are a few ways they can do this. One way is to heat the diamond up really hot so that any weird colors or markings inside the diamond go away. It's sort of like how when you warm up Play-Doh, it gets softer and easier to mold. It doesn't change the shape of the diamond, but it makes it look nicer.

Another way they can enhance a diamond is by filling in any cracks or holes on the surface of the diamond with a clear substance. It's like fixing a broken toy by gluing it back together. This can make the diamond look a lot nicer, but it's important to know that it's not as valuable as a diamond that hasn't been filled in.

Lastly, diamond sellers can "irradiate" a diamond, which means they shoot it with special rays that change the color of the diamond. It's like when you put a white t-shirt in the washing machine with a red sock and the t-shirt turns pink! This makes the diamond look very different, but it's not always a good thing. Some people prefer natural-colored diamonds, so it's important to know if a diamond has been irradiated before you buy it.

In any case, it's important to make sure you know what you're buying and how it's been enhanced before you spend a lot of money on it!
