Color
It is often assumed that diamonds are completely colorless. The lesser the color, the more valuable the diamond. Diamonds are rated based on tone, tint, and saturation. We have classified each tone into the scale shown below:
Cut
The most important aspect of a diamond is its cut. The cut influences the light it reflects, especially when seen in motion. A well-cut diamond sparkles and shines brighter. A poorly cut diamond appears dull and may look smaller than its actual carat size. The quality of the cut defines how light travels within the diamond and how much brilliance it shows.
Clarity
Clarity is used to help us understand what range of internal defects and inclusions are visible within the diamond. These inclusions are usually small blemishes or natural mineral deposits that occur during diamond formation. Clarity is assessed under 10x magnification. A diamond is best cut and free of blemishes. To build unique designs, VVS1 and VVS2 are most preferred due to the lack of visible inclusions. However, most inclusions are too tiny to impact appearance and can be invisible to the naked eye.
Carat
Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. One carat equals 200 milligrams, and while it influences size, it does not directly reflect a diamond’s quality or clarity. The higher the carat, the more valuable the diamond. Choose the carat weight that fits your style, budget, and personal preferences.
