DIAMOND CHARACTERISTICS GUIDE

DIAMOND CHARACTERISTICS GUIDE

The value of a diamond depends on its colourlessness. A diamond may range from completely colourless to showing clearly visible shades of colour. These shades do not affect the clarity nor the beauty of diamonds.

The value of a diamond depends on its clarity as well and it can be classified according to a clarity scale. Like all other natural gems, diamonds can have some typical inclusions, which may be more or less visible. Inclusions are considered natural imprints of the diamond crystal.

The cutting aims to make the diamond as bright as possible. The quality level of cutting is determined by the balance of symmetry and precision in details.
