Education Diamond Color

The color grade of a diamond actually refers to the absence of color, with the highest grade, D, representing the absence of color and therefore being the most desirable. However, even experts may have difficulty distinguishing between certain clarity grades, so if the specific letter on the certificate is not important to you, it may be possible to choose lower grades without sacrificing quality.

Most diamonds contain small imperfections called “inclusions,” but these are not always visible to the naked eye. The price of a diamond is often influenced by the size and location of these inclusions, so it is important to consider the clarity grade when making a selection. This will help you choose a diamond that meets your specific needs and budget.

Small packages can sometimes contain beautiful items, but it is important that the contents are substantial. In other words, size is important. However, it is worth noting that the weight of a diamond, measured in carats, is not the same as its size. The appearance of a diamond’s size is also influenced by its shape and cut, so it is important to consider carat weight beyond its commonly assigned value.
