Knowledge is the key to a fair price in the diamond
market. While you can depend on our Certified
Gemologists and experienced estate buyers to
carefully inspect the cut, color, clarity and carat of
your diamond and to use our extensive information
on the current diamond market to determine the
highest price for your diamond, it can be helpful and
interesting for you to learn a little more about
diamonds and how we determine a price.

3. Clarity, Color,Carat,Cost
 Clarity
The clarity of a diamond refers to how clear, or
"clean" the diamond is. In it's rough state, a
dimaond is going to have imperfections, called
"inclusions" (internal) and "blemishes" (external) -
how severe the imperfections are determine the
clarity of a diamond. A Certified Gemologist will
grade the clarity of a diamond on a scale from
"Flawless (FL)" to "Imperfect (I)."

4. Clarity, Color,Carat,Cost
 Color
The best color is no color at all. The color is graded
from sparkling colorless white towards the more
fancy colors. An absence of color allows light to be
reflected and dispersed most dramatically as a
rainbow of color. The color of a stone is rated on an
alphabetical scale, from D (totally colorless)
through Z (light yellow).

5. Clarity, Color,Carat,Cost
 Carat
The weight of a diamond is expressed in carats. One
carat is divided into 100 points, and stones that weigh
less than a carat are sometimes measured in points (for
instance, one half of a carat can be described as
weighing 50 points or 0.5 carats). Carat weight refers
only to the weight of a diamond, not its dimension.
The higher the carat weight, the rarer the diamond, so
a 2 Carat diamond is going to be more valuable than 2
1 Carat diamonds.

7.  The shape of Diamond
The Shape of a diamond is a matter of personal
preference - there is no particular shape that is
more valuable than another. The shape of a
diamond is different from the "cut" of a diamond.
For each shape, the cut can range
from excellent/ideal to poor.

8.  Diamond Certification
The certification of diamonds is not covered by law,
which is why it's so important to work with a reputable
jeweler. There are several grading companies and
organizations that certify diamonds - the most
respected labs are the Gemological Institute of
America (GIA), European Gemological
Laboratory (EGL) and American Gem
Society (AGS).
