chibru3 asked:


If jewelry is made of crush diamond? What does that mean? After that, I was asked what point of diamond. 1 point, 2 point all the way up to 20 point. It says that 2 point crush diamonds are used the most. Im confused. I understand about most cuts, clarity, carat. Please help..

    It sounds like crushed diamonds are what I’ve heard called diamond chips. Just very small diamonds. Points are the diamonds weight. If you have a diamond that is 1.5 carats, you could also say you have a diamond that is 1 carat & 50 points. People usually say ‘points’ when talking about a weight under a carat. 3/4 carat could also be called 75 points.
