CLARITY

Clarity of diamonds is an evaluation of how clean a diamond is from both inclusions & blemishes. Depending on the size, location and depth of these flaws, a diamond is graded on the clarity scale ranging from Flawless / FL to Inclusions / I. These imperfections in diamonds can interface with the light passing through the diamond, thus affecting its sparkle.

CARAT

Carat refers to the size of the diamond in terms of its weight. The word Carat is derived from the carob seeds which were used earlier as reference to balance scales. A one Carat diamond equals to 200 milligrams or 0.200 grams.

COLOUR

Colour of a Diamond is graded in terms of how white or colourless a diamond is. Each diamond has different shades ranging from brilliant white to pale yellow. Accordingly these differences are graded on a colour scale from D ( colourless ) to Z ( Brown / yellow tint ).

Fancy coloured diamonds in hues of pink, blue, orange, green, red for example are considered to be rare than the traditional white diamonds and are graded based on their intensity and beauty of their colours.
