I really liked the variable size eraser.
I really liked the variable size eraser. I needed to send my bank statement out and I did not feel the party needed to know my balance when they were only looking for a particular debit.

Questions & answers

Diamond professionals use the grading system developed by GIA in the 1950s, which established the use of four important factors to describe and classify diamonds: Clarity, Color, Cut, and Carat Weight. Diamonds can be fashioned into a variety of shapes and still be beautiful. These are known as the 4Cs.
Check them out on the GIA website on www.gia.edu/reportcheck and provide the details necessary such as the reported number of the diamond, and the information for the diamond will all be provided and you can then verify if its correct.
GIA's color-grading scale for diamonds is the industry standard. The scale begins with the letter D, representing colorless, and continues with increasing presence of color to the letter Z, or light yellow or brown. Each letter grade has a clearly defined range of color appearance.
A GIA Diamond Certificate will contain the following information: A unique certificate number (e.g.: 1105994015) A description of the shape of the diamond (e.g.: Round Brilliant Cut) The carat weight of the diamond (e.g.: 0.50ct) The colour of the diamond (e.g.: E) The clarity of the diamond (e.g.: VS2)
VS clarity grade diamonds are very popular because of its lower price tag when compared to VVS diamonds, and its high quality when compared to SI diamonds whose flaws are easily seen in some cases.
Diamonds are separated into five types: Type Ia, Type Ib, Type 1aB, Type IIa, and Type IIb. The impurities measured are at the atomic level within the crystal lattice of carbon atoms and so, unlike inclusions, require an infrared spectrometer to detect.
