CUT – When a faceted diamond is cut to good proportions, light will reflect from one mirror-like facet to another resulting in a display of brilliance and fire. Diamonds that are cut too deep or too shallow spill and lose light through the side or the bottom.

CARAT – A diamond’s size is measured in carat weight, and each carat is equal to 100 points. A 0.75 carat diamond is the same as a 75-point diamond or a ¾ carat stone.

COLOR – Diamonds are graded by color, starting at D and continuing through the alphabet (see chart below.) While many diamonds appear colorless, they may actually have subtle yellow or brown tones. The closer to colorless a diamond is (D), the more vividly it reflects light.

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

CLARITY – Virtually all natural diamonds contain identifying characteristics; these characteristics are known as inclusions. These are nature’s birthmarks; they commonly look like crystals, clouds or feathers under a 10x-loupe (gemologist’s magnifying glass). The number, color, type, size and position of these birthmarks affect a diamond’s value - ranging from flawless to imperfect. This scale is represented from left to right by the chart below.
