SHAPE
SHAPE
Shape refers to the appearance of the center stone. Most diamond shapes are Round, Square (Princess, Asscher, Cushion, Radiant), Rectangular ( Emerald, Elongated Radiant, Elongated Cushion), Heart-shaped, Pear-shaped (also known as tear-drop), Oval, or Marquise (like an Oval but pointed on both ends).
Price range for ring and accessory items are without stones set. Price range for loose stones reflect just the stone, not the ring or accessory added.
CARAT
CARAT SIZE
Carat weight refers not to the size of the stone, but the weight of it; two stones may have identical carat weights but have different length x width measurements depending on the cut. If you want to choose a smaller carat weight stone, opt for a higher cut grade, as this will make the stone appear larger. When selecting a stone for a specific budget, try to go slightly under a full or half carat weight, because prices jump at those sizes. For example, a 1.9ct stone will cost less than a 2.0ct, and because carat weight is distributed across the entirety of the diamond, that size difference would be nearly impossible to detect.
CLARITY
CLARITY
Clarity refers to the tiny inclusions (blemishes) in a stone, and whether or not they are visible to the naked eye. Eye-clean diamonds, which are those without visible inclusions, will fall into the range of VVS1-SI1. As long as you choose a stone within that range, you will not need to worry about seeing inclusions, especially if you are selecting a stone with a higher cut grade.
White diamonds range from D-F (colorless), G-H (near colorless & very difficult to detect), I-J (near colorless with slightly detectable warmth), K-Z (noticeable color). Color presents itself as a pale yellow. With Fancy Color diamonds, the intense grades will be the most color saturated.
Describes the finish of the facets of the diamond. Polish is graded from Ideal, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor. Polish grades of Good or higher have the least effect on the brilliance of the diamond and are suitable for the finest quality jewelry. Certain gem labs, such as Gemscan, incorporate Polish into an overall cut grade.
Describes the alignment of the facets of the diamond. If facets are misaligned, the diamond may poorly reflect light. Symmetry is graded from Ideal / Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor. Symmetry grades of Good or higher have the least effect on the brilliance of the diamond and are suitable for the finest quality jewelry. Certain gem labs, such as Gemscan, incorporate Symmetry into an overall Cut grade.
