Carat

Contrary to popular belief, a ‘Carat’ is the unit used to measure a diamond’s weight, not the diamond shape or size. The word Carat originates from a tree more commonly known as the Carob tree .

In ancient times, before scales and units of mass were invented, diamond traders compared the weight of a diamond to the seeds of the Carob tree.

Color

This natural phenomena in both mined and lab grown diamonds happens for a few reasons. More commonly molecules nearby can make their way into the diamond lattice as it grows. This causes varying colour hues of brown to yellow to blue. Structural anomalies can cause other colour variations such as those in pink and the very rare red diamonds.

Cut

Possibly the most important feature of a diamond’s craftsmanship is its Cut. The brilliance of a diamond is very much determined by its ability to reflect and refract light. It represents the skill with which our Diamantaires have crafted it.

FAIR

This cut grade doesn’t retain the light entering the diamond, so the perceived fire and brilliance is greatly reduced.

GOOD

When seen from the top-down view, Good Cuts don’t reflect light as much as the higher grades because their fire, brilliance, and scintillation are more subdued. You may observe darker areas in the stone.

VERY GOOD

When seen from the top-down view, it can show a slightly more asymmetrical pattern of light. It is still a premium cut but has slightly lower brilliance than the Excellent cut.

IDEAL / EXCELLENT

When seen from the top-down view the diamond exhibits optimal fire and brilliance as virtually all the light that enters is reflected by the diamond to the viewer's eye.

Clarity

As mined diamonds, or lab diamonds grow, small flaws and inclusions can feature in their structure. These natural birthmarks are nature’s own fingerprints. We believe these natural features give our diamonds their own distinctive DNA. Diamond clarity is graded on the basis of how many inclusions and flaws can be spotted in a diamond, under magnification or with the naked eye.

SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

These diamonds have noticeable inclusions that can easily seen with 10x magnification, but not are not easily visible through the crown with the unaided eye at arms length.

SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

These diamonds have noticeable inclusions that can easily seen with 10x magnification, but not are not easily visible through the crown with the unaided eye at arms length.

VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

These diamonds have minor inclusions that are difficult to somewhat easy for a trained grader to see when viewed under 10x magnification.

VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

Diamonds in this clarity grade have inclusions which are very minute and somewhat difficult for a skilled grader to see under 10X magnification.

VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

Diamond is a very high clarity rating where the diamonds are “almost perfect”. At this grading, inclusions though slightly more than VVS1, are so insignificant that it is difficult even for a trained gemologist to detect them under 10X magnification.

VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

Diamond is a very high clarity rating where the diamonds are “almost perfect”. At this grading, inclusions are so insignificant that it is difficult even for a trained gemologist to detect them under 10X magnification.

INTERNALLY FLAWLESS

Internally Flawless (IF) diamonds have no inclusions visible under 10x magnification, only small blemishes on the diamond surface.
