With earrings and jewelry which has multiple diamonds, we always state the total number of carats of all the diamonds.Pictured here in 14K palladium white gold with a matte finish. Some of our color diamonds are treated to enhance their color.ĬARAT: The weight of diamonds is quoted in carats (ct), expressed to two decimal places, for example 0.25 ct. Other colors of diamonds are simply called fancy. N to Z – diamonds with a brown-yellow color.K to M – diamonds with a touch of yellow.I1, I2, I3 (Included), also labeled as “P” in the Czech Republic – diamonds with medium to larger inclusions visible to the naked eye.ĬOLOR: The color of colorless to yellow diamonds is evaluated based on an international scale:.SI 1, SI 2 (Slightly Included) – diamonds with inclusions which can be seen with a magnifying glass,.VS 1, VS 2 (Very Slightly Included) – diamonds with small inclusions,.VVS 1, VVS 2 (Very Very Slightly Included) – diamonds with very small inclusions,.IF (Internally Flawless) – clear diamonds without any inclusions,.Diamonds can also be cut into a wide array of “fantasy” cuts which include the marquise, baguette, heart, teardrop, oval, and princess (a three-sided or four-sided cut with sharp corners which is especially popular for engagement rings).ĬLARITY: Clarity is determined by the number, size, and distribution of any inclusions (internal impurities) in a diamond: The most popular cut is a round one known as the brilliant cut. These four properties then significantly influence the price of a diamond.ĬUT: The right cut gives a diamond its radiant luster. In the process of evaluating and certifying diamonds, they are assessed based on four fundamental parameters which are called the 4Cs: cut, clarity, color, and carat.
