Cut
refers to the angles and proportions a skilled
craftsman creates in transforming a rough
diamond into polished diamonds. Nature
determines so much about a diamond, but it takes
a master cutter to reveal the stone’s true
brilliance, fire and ultimate beauty. Based n
scientific formulas, a well-cut diamond will
internally reflects light from one mirror; like
facet to another and disperse and reflect it
through the top of the stone. This results in a
display of brilliance and fire.

| Clarity
When light
enters a diamond, it is reflected and refracted
out. If there is any thing disrupting the flow
of light in the diamond, such as an inclusion,
proportion of light will be lost. As a result
brilliance could be diminished. The number of
inclusions can determine the degree of
brilliance.
Inclusions,
which are sometimes referred to as” Nature’s
Fingerprints,” are usually not visible to the
naked eye unless magnified.

| Color
The best
color for a diamond is no color. Because it is
the totally colorless diamond that acts as a
prism, allowing light to pass effortlessly
through the diamond and be transformed into
rainbows of color. To give a woman the purest
white diamond is to show your true colors as
well.
The
color grading scale goes from totally colorless
to light yellow. The differences between one
grade and another are very subtle, as can be
seen by the number of grades within any one
category. |
| CARAT
Carat is
often confused with size even though it is
actually a measure of weight. Sometimes, you
might think a larger diamond appears more
brilliant than a smaller one. This is because
light must travel a greater distance through a
larger diamond. The result is a prism effect
that your eye registers as more brilliance and
fire. One carat is divided into 100
"points" so that a diamond of 75
points weights .75 carats. |
