Diamond Guide
Diamond Clarity
The clarity of a diamond is determined by its absence of flaws. As a critical part of diamond grading, the accepted standard for determining diamond clarity is to examine the stone using a 10X microscope along with the trained naked eye. The level of visibility, the location, and the nature of inclusions (flaws) in a diamond determine the diamond clarity grade.
Diamond Color
Contrary to how it sounds, diamond color is determined by the absence of color. The less color present in the diamond, the more color is returned.
Diamond Cut
The grading of diamond cut should not be confused with the different shapes and cuts of diamonds. For each of the diamond shapes, there is a set of proportions and critical angles that a diamond should be cut to in order to maximize its brilliance, fire and scintillation.
Diamond Grading
We have all heard reference to the 4C’s of diamond grading: diamond cut, diamond color, diamond clarity, and the carat weight of a diamond. If you are like most consumers, diamond grading will become your primary focus as you try to find common ground to compare values and determine the attributes that are most important to you.
Diamond Chart
Take a look at our helpful diamond chart with a rating system that will help you to evaluate stones of specific color and diamond clarity combinations.
Diamond Pricing
Diamond pricing is subjective; and it seems as though every diamond company claims to have the lowest prices. Is it possible for two white diamonds with an identical diamond clarity grade to be different in value?
Beyond The 4 C’s
Additional diamond grading, known to most as the 4C’s, is familiar to all, but what many consumers don’t realize are how many variables lie beyond the 4Cs.
