The carat is the standard unit of measurement used to indicate the weight of a diamond. Carat is often confused with size even though it is actually a measure of weight. One carat equals 200 milligrams or 0.2 grams. Remember that while the measurements below are typical, every diamond is unique. The scale below illustrates the typical size relationship between diamonds of increasing carat weights.
Nothing is more impactful on a precious stone's brilliance than its cut. The cut refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond. Known in the industry as ‘fire’, referring to the coloured light reflected, and ‘brilliance’ for the uncoloured light. The cut of a diamond - its form and finish, its depth and width, the uniformity of the facets - determines its beauty.
A diamond’s colour is one of its most significant characteristics, enlisted as a fundamental measure of quality. The diamond colour scale begins at D (colourless) and ends at Z (light yellow). Colourless diamonds allow more light to pass through than a coloured diamond, releasing more sparkle and fire.
D colour diamonds are absolutely colourless, the rarest gemstones to exist. The most expensive colour grade
E colour range is the second highest quality range of diamonds while examining their transparency. These are rare diamonds and the very slight requires professional expertise to detect any dim tone.
F colour detected by an expert gemologist, but still considered a colorless" grade -- a high-quality diamond."
G graded diamonds with noticeable tint is detectable for experts with a keen eye when compared to diamonds of better grades, but offers excellent value.
H coloured diamonds are near colourless diamonds which still appear totally white or colourless if they are not compared side by side with higher colour graded stones. They are almost completely hue free.
I Color diamonds are very slightly tinted diamonds and noticeable when compared to diamonds of better grades, but offers great value for money.
J coloured diamonds range have trivial hue. The tint is very ignorable.
A diamond's clarity refers to the presence of impurities on and within the stone. The diamond with highest quality on clarity grading is the one with absence of any imperfections which could possibly occur in the stone.
The diamonds in this category are completely flawless with no internal or external inclusions of any kind. These are the rarest diamonds.
This grade range includes the diamonds which are very, very slightly included. It is almost impossible to detect inclusions under 10x range magnification.
This grade range includes the diamonds which are very, very slightly included. It is almost impossible to detect inclusions under 10x range magnification
The very slightly included grade of diamonds which have visible imperfections on the uncovered eye.
The very slightly included grade of diamonds which have visible imperfections on the uncovered eye.
The slightly included diamonds, considered to be fine quality, having visible imperfections under magnification range of 10x.
The slightly included diamonds, considered to be fine quality, having visible imperfections under magnification range of 10x
The Included Diamonds with I1-I3 as the lowest clarity grade on the scale. The imperfections in these diamonds are very much visible to the naked eye.
Table referred as the largest facet of a gemstone, located at the top. Table % is the table width as a percentage of the girdle diameter.
The height of a gemstone, from the culet to the table referred as a Depth of the Gemstone . Depth % is the height of the diamond as a percentage of the girdle diameter.
The Diamond Certificate is generally referred to as a Diamond Grading Report given by an independent gemology lab. For a diamond the 4 C’s are highly significant. These 4 C’s refer to the Cut, Clarity, Colour and the Carat weight of the diamond, recognized as the four primary characteristics of diamonds by Gemologist. Gemsake diamonds are certified by the world’s leading gem grading labs including GIA & IGI
