Our diamonds have been evaluated and graded by GIA graduate gemologists using the standards established by GIA (The Gemological Institute of America). I1-I2-I3 (Imperfect): Inclusions visible to the unaided eye.SI1-SI2 (Slightly Included): Inclusions are highly visible under 10X magnification and may be visible to the unaided eye.VS1-VS2 (Very Slightly Included): Inclusions are seen under 10X magnification, but not typically visible to the unaided eye.VVS1-VVS2 (Very Very Slightly Included): Very difficult to see inclusions under 10X magnification.FL (Flawless): No internal or external flaws.The size, number, position and color of these imperfections determine a stone’s clarity grade. Most diamonds naturally have small internal flaws called inclusions, which interfere with the passage of light through the stone. Color K-Z is especially noticeable when set in platinum or white gold. Diamonds graded better than J are colorless or near-colorless, with color that is typically undetectable to the unaided eye. Therefore, the less color that is in a diamond, the more colorful its fire, the better its color grade, and the greater its value (and priced accordingly).ĭiamond color is graded using an alphabetical range from D-Z (D being totally colorless). A colorless diamond disperses light throughout the entire stone. Color within a diamond diminishes the brilliance of the stone by diminishing the spectrum of colors that are emitted. A diamond’s proportions determine how well the light will reflect and refract within the stone, with symmetry of the cut being extremely important.Īcting as a prism, a diamond can divide light into a spectrum of colors, reflecting light as colorful flashes called fire. Even if a diamond has perfect color and clarity, a poor cut can make it look dull. The cut of a diamond (the depth, width and uniformity of the facets) determines the stone’s brilliance and sparkle. The value of a diamond is determined by the Four Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight. View Gemstone Enhancements and Special Care Requirements for important information.
