DIAMOND CUT GRADES

If we talk about diamond cut grades in general, it refers to the quality of diamond’s proportion as well as symmetry. So, keeping that in mind diamonds are further sub-divided into four categories namely, ideal, very good, good and poor.

  • Ideal Diamonds: These diamonds have an excellent sparkle, polish as well as symmetry.
  • Very Good Diamonds: These diamonds sparkle too much and have a great polish and symmetry.
  • Good Diamonds: These diamonds have a good amount of sparkle but sufficient polish and symmetry.
  • Poor Diamonds: These diamonds do not sparkle too much and don’t have a great polish and symmetry.

DIAMOND CLARITY

Clarity is important when buying a diamond. The shape of the diamond greatly affects the clarity but you still need to know the different clarity grades because, the clearer the diamond, the brighter it is.

Clarity Scale Range

FL——-IF——-VVS1——-VVS2——-VS1——-VS2——-Sl1——-Sl2

 

FL is the rarest of all diamonds and moreover, doesn’t contain any surface imperfections whereas the Sl2 diamonds are lowest clarity grade diamonds.

A minimum clarity grade of VS2 diamonds are suggested and if you are looking for better clarity then clarity grade of VVS2 or higher is highly recommended.

 

DIAMOND COLOR

Diamonds either reflect white light or show a tint of yellow. Though it isn’t quite visible but is quite important when choosing the metal for the diamond.

D-E-F————G-H-I-J———-K-L———-M-N-O-P-Q-R———–S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z

D,E,F : COLOURLESS

G,H,I,J : NEAR COLORLESS

K,L : FAINT YELLOW

M,N,O,P,Q,R : NOTICEABLE COLOR

S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z : VERY NOTICEABLE COLOR

If you are willing to choose metals like platinum, white gold or silver then “colorless diamonds” are highly recommended but if you are looking for a diamond to set in yellow or rose gold metal then “near colorless diamonds” will aslo work fine.

 

DIAMOND CARAT WEIGHT

Carat Weight describes that how big the diamond is! Carat Weight directly affects the price. Its just a matter of size so don’t compromise with a cut grade for a bigger size.

Following are the carat weights that are available in case of diamonds:

.25CT—.50CT—.75CT—-1CT—-1.25CT—–1.50CT—2CT—-3CT—-4CT—-5CT
