Given that one carat near colourless stones were selling at around pounds 2,000 at Sotheby's in April, even a DIY approach does not come cheap.However, at the end of the day, one will have a jewel that will mean far more to both the giver and the wearer than a similar piece just selected from a jeweller's stock. So, would it not be better to buy a cut stone and have a ring made? While perfectly possible, Andy Bone at De Beers admits that it is difficult for the public to buy an unmounted stone in Hatton Garden.Although the supply and demand of rough diamonds is controlled, the price to the consumer is not. It is a well-known fact that the mark-up of high street jewellers is one of the highest of retailers. But there are good reasons for this, the main one being the high value of stocks they have to hold to give their customers a choice.

However, it is the inter-relationship of the 4C's that determines a diamond's value. A flawless, colourless one carat stone of good cut will be worth more than one which is twice the size but is near colourless with very minor inclusions.If you want to buy a single diamond, the jeweller is still the best bet. If a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, light escapes through the bottom of the stone.Finally there is size - 95 per cent of all cut diamonds weigh less than a carat. Minor inclusions, which are still difficult to see with the untrained eye, are referred to as VS1 and VS2; noticeable inclusions which are easy or very easy to see with a 10x lens are S11 and S12, whereas those with obvious inclusions are 11, 12 and 13.The precision and delicacy of the cut dictates the maximum amount of light that will be reflected through the diamond. When the stone is cut to good proportions, light is reflected from one facet to another and dispersed through the top of the stone. The most sought-after colour for a diamond is one where there is no colour at all.Clarity relates to the impurities in a diamond The more impurities, the lower its price per carat.

An internally flawless stone is known as "IF", whereas those with only very slight inclusions, which can only be seen with difficulty from the back of the stone using a 10x magnifying glass, are known as VVS1 and VVS2. Bargaining is only allowed for individual stones in excess of 10 carats.Rough diamonds may not be an investment, but, how does one go about getting value for money on cut stones? The question may appear straightforward, but the answer is complex. As De Beers states in its excellent leaflet, Quality and Value, which is available from all good jewellers or direct from the CSO, "There's more to diamonds than meets the eye."The characteristics that determine the quality of a diamond are known as the 4C's: colour, clarity, cut and carat, which is the stone's weight. There they are sorted into over 5,000 categories of number of shape, quality, colour and size. Even if obtainable, such a vast number of categories is a good reason for not even contemplating buying uncut stones.Once sorted, the diamonds are blended into a "selling mixture" in preparation for the 10 annual "sights" in London, at which the rough stones are sold to some 160 clients of the CSO The mixtures are offered at a non-negotiable price. If this happened, the price of diamonds could have plummeted. However, although the Russians desperately need hard currency, they are hardly likely to shoot themselves in the foot.The rough diamonds from the big producing nations that belong to the CSO go to its London offices.

"At first, we thought we had made a heroic stand but a ghastly mistake," admits Geoff Liddy, a docker for 27 years, just back from rallying support in Greece. I had never met the woman before in my life."There is a hint, even among the dockers themselves, of some surprise at the endurance and achievements of the strike. At Christmas, a turkey was brought down to the picket line."At a dinner before Christmas, I told the lady sitting next to me that my husband was a striking docker," says Trisha MacInally, a mother of four "She put her hand in her bag and gave me pounds 5. "You cut your cloth accordingly" is a phrase the dockers are all proudly familiar with.

Donations arrive at Transport House in Liverpool, from pounds 1 from a pensioner to several thousands from foreign unions. The city centre is spattered with posters advertising "Grab a Docker Night", one of the many fundraising events where facilities have been given free. Loyalty to younger dockers put it out of the question.There is a powerful sense that only in Liverpool would the men have gone out on what seemed a poignant but futile gesture, and only in Liverpool could they have survived. For the many men near retirement age it was an attractive offer. Their marches, vigils, rallies and unerring commitment have been crucial to maintaining the strike's momentum. As with the miners' wives of the Eighties, the strike has thrown up energy and talents previously unimagined.But beneath the bullish enthusiasm come accounts of children mortified by the stigma of free school meals; of confusion and shame in DSS offices; of embarrassment in high-street shops; of outstanding debt ("that three- piece suite - I'd waited 15 years for it"); of having to take part of a disabled son's benefit for the housekeeping.How, then, has the strike survived this long without even union backing? A peace offer from the MDHC of pounds 25,000, full pension rights and re-employment for 40 men was rejected by postal ballot two weeks ago, by a margin of more than five to one. Morale is all, and at times there is more than a touch of the Stepford Wives about those who have set up the support group Women on the Waterfront.

Well, we can't be buying that, but he was out in the snow last week in just his blazer and, you know, you just feel so guilty."There is a predictable reluctance among the families to volunteer tales of hardship. "One of my boys hasn't had a new coat for two years, but he wants one that costs pounds 200. Having to see them people up there, and they made you feel like you were begging or something." Suddenly, adds Ann, "we were `our poor John and Ann' in the family. And we were always the ones with a good job."For Ann's friend Colette, 34, with three youngsters and a husband on strike, the financial strain is beginning to tell. The other day, my son Lee was really on a downer and saying to him, `Dad, be quiet, I'm fed up listening to you talking all the time.' Just joking, like, because his dad hadn't spoken for two days."From an annual income of about pounds 20,000, the family has had to adjust for the first time to social security "I'm scared to spend money," John says "The first time I went up the dole office it was degrading.

Suddenly, old- fashioned industrial action, "Scabs out!" and all, is staging a renaissance."I'm just pacing up and down in here every day, waiting for some news on the radio," admits John Morris, 44. Like most of the men - and their fathers - he has known nothing but life on the dock, and five months on strike, despite high morale, have been long and unnerving."He sits there biting his nails," says his wife, Ann, 44 "Sometimes he just won't speak. If the international conference of dock union delegates convened in the city this week succeeds in getting Liverpool ships "blacked" across the globe, the men's demands for their old jobs will have a new, perhaps irresistible urgency. Strikers have flown to Australia, New Zealand, America and elsewhere to win support and financial backing from foreign unions; last month, three men closed the American port of Newark to Liverpool cargo.The dispute has already cost an increasingly bewildered and beleaguered Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) an estimated pounds 400,000 a week Millions have been wiped off the share price. But what looked then like the defiant last breath of Mersey militants whose time had passed is, five long and cold months later, not only holding firm but threatening to succeed.Through an arctic winter, the fierce dockside picketing at dawn and dusk has continued. The dockers have been standing at the gates ever since, spitting "scab!" at the new labour ushered in under police guard, and calling for their jobs back.
With no ballot having been called, and as sacked men, the dockers' action was unofficial and could not be backed by their union, the TGWU. For 24 years he has been a Liverpool docker, handling the great ships and their cargoes as they pull into port from around the world.
