Diamond Cut Grade

• Diamond Cut Grade does not refer to a diamond’s shape, but to the proportion and arrangement of its facets and the quality of workmanship. The amount of brilliance, sparkle and fire in a diamond is determined by cut. Grades range from ‘Excellent’ to ‘Poor.’

Diamond Carat Weight

• Diamond Carat Weight refers to a diamond’s weight. Generally speaking, the higher the carat weight, the more expensive the stone. Two diamonds of equal carat weight, however, can have very different quality and price when the other three Cs are considered.

Diamond Color Grade

• Diamond Color Grade: In most diamonds, the term actually refers to the absence of color. The less color in the stone, the more desirable and valuable it is. Some of these differences are not visible to the naked eye, but directly impact the overall quality and price of the stone.

Diamond Clarity Grade

• Diamond Clarity Grade measures the amount, size and placement of internal Characteristics. Grades run from ‘Flawless,’ with virtually no internal characteristics, to ‘Included,’ which contain a significant number of internal characteristics.
