Diamond Shapes

Diamonds are available in various shapes; the most common shapes are shown below. All shapes have different types of light-reflecting edges. For example, round, cushion, shining, oval, pear, marquise, heart and princess cut diamonds have small facets (bottom) for more brilliance, while emerald; baguette and Usher cut facets add more subtle shine. ...

The most popular is the round diamond, which has been around for many years. Since they are in the highest demand, they are more expensive than other forms. Plus, it has the most waste when carved from a raw stone.

Shapes such as baguettes and trilliants are usually set of accent stones with one of the stones of a different shape.

Carat Weight of Diamond

Diamonds weigh in carats, not grams. (A one-carat diamond should weigh 0.2 grams.) There are 100 points in 1 carat, as in the pound sterling 100 pennies. The word "carat" comes from the carob seed, which many years ago was often used as a counterweight to balance scales. Precious and semi-precious stones can also be measured in the same way or by size in millimeters.

The most popular carat sizes for engagement rings range from 0.30 carats to 1.00 carats and the larger the diamond, the higher the price.

Diamond Color

The color scale is so definite that it may not always be noticeable to the untrained eye, but this little difference does make a big variation in cost. The best colorless grade (D) is the whitest color of the diamond, and the color scale goes straight to light yellow or brown (Z). The less color a diamond is, the higher its value (excluding fancy color diamonds). D, E and F are known as "collectable colors", which are ideal.

The GIA (Gemological Institute of America) has set the industry standard for the color scale.

At Zillion, we will always recommend colors from D to H / I. H / I is still nearly colorless, but you can see a slight color difference if you mark the diamond next to color D.

As for fancy color diamonds, they are classified much more complexly in hue, tone and saturation.

Clarity of Diamonds

Like color, diamond clarity also uses a sliding scale. Some companies use slightly different terminology, but in these examples, we will use GIA terms.

Since diamonds are formed hundreds of miles underground under extreme heat and pressure, this can lead to marks (consider them a mole). The inner marks are called inclusions, and the outer marks are spots. As with color, the fewer natural markings a stone has, the more expensive the diamond is. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless - FL (no internal inclusions or external defects) to Enabled 3 - I3 (inclusions that are obvious at 10x magnification). Included clarity, the disadvantages of this reading can often be seen with the naked eye.

Most diamonds range in size from VS (very minor) to SI (slightly included). To assess the clarity of a diamond, the size, nature, position, color and number of marks are taken into account.

Cutting and Proportion of Diamond

People often confuse the cut with the outline of the rhombus rather than the location of the facets. A diamond's cut is all about proportions and how well the stone is made. The symmetries of each facet will influence how the stones mix with light, which is why this is what provides the diamond fire and sparkle with other circumstances.

The GIA rates the abbreviation from Excellent to Poor.

For example, if a diamond was cut too shallow with a poor grade, the stone will have a larger diameter at the top than a fine cut of the same carat weight, but the poor cut will look flat and will not shine when the same as and a brilliant cut diamond, since light also cannot be refracted.

Diamond Polish & Symmetry

Polish and Symmetry are also rated Excellent to Poor.

Polish refers to the overall surface finish (smoothness) of diamonds. These features can be anything from pitting or scratch from varnish to a burn or abrasion, many of which are not visible to the naked eye.

Symmetry is how symmetrical, each corner line and face is. Irregular edges or angles can make some diamonds look odd, and some finer ones you won't be able to distinguish without magnifying them.

Diamond Fluorescence

This is the visible light that a stone emits in ultraviolet light. The more the diamond shines, the more potent the fluorescence. Its strength is measured from zero to very high.

If the diamond has very strong fluorescence, the stone may appear cloudy/hazy/oily under natural light.

Diamond Certification and Reports

There are many diamond grading labs throughout the world. Different laboratories have different assessment standards, with some laboratories being much more lenient in their standards than others. GIA, IGI and HRD are the most respected and recognized diamonds Graders in the world. Therefore, when looking for a certified diamond, we only recommend these three certifications.
