  DIAMOND 4c’s GRADING

When it comes to grading a diamond, there are four main grading parameters that will determine the diamond price and rarity .

This are the 4c’s : clarity, color, cut, carat (weight).

     CLARITY: About the Clarity of a Diamond.

The clearer the diamond, the higher the price

scale was developed to have a universal rating system of diamonds imperfections. Clarity is an important aspect of a diamond, and it is important to know how the grade of diamond clarity before you buy a diamond ring online. It is actually easy to learn how to grade the clarity of a diamond before you buy a diamond online.

There are two things that you must take note; Diamonds with visible inclusions and blemishes, and those that are ‘eye clean’ meaning that there are no inclusion or blemishes that can be seen with the naked eye.

From there, the clarity of a diamond is further broken down into sub-categories. Most people mistakenly thinks that Diamond clarity refers to how clear a diamond wene set on a diamond engagement ring But this is not true.

Clarity refers to the internal and external imperfections of the diamond.

The best diamond, of course, has a grade of FL or IF, Flawless or Internally. Flawless this mean that it is perfect. A grade of I1, I2 or I3 means that the diamond is imperfect, with a grade of I3 being the worst.

Other grades are VVS1 and VVS2, which means that the diamond is very slightly imperfect. VS1 and VS2 this means the loose diamond is very slightly imperfect. SI1 and SI2, which means that the diamond is imperfect.

 

     COLOR

When it comes to the 4C’s of diamonds, color, or lack of it, is an especially important characteristic to determine the diamond price. When grading diamond for the color, it is important to have a Master Color Diamond set (pre-graded diamond usually D-F-H-I) to compare the diamond being graded. Diamonds are given a letter grade to represent the level of color, starting with the letter D for a flawless, colorless diamond. Why is it letter D and not C, B or A? The main reason we have heard is that when diamonds started being graded for color with this scale, it started with D to give room for the extremely rare possibility that special diamond would be discovered that was even more flawless than flawless. It hasn’t happened yet!

The color grades of D, E, and F are the rarest and most colorless. The gradations in color can only be seen by an expert gemologist lab. The grades G-H are called near colorless, and the difference can be seen by a casual observer only when compared to a higher-grade diamond. A loose diamond of this grade categories is an excellent value.

Most color in the colored diamonds comes from impurities between the cells of the crystals, or structural defects. There are many different colors that diamonds can come out in, but they are limited to steel gray, pink, yellow, green, white, and blue to purple, brown and black.

However, in the wholesale diamond industry  the cut of a diamond doesn’t refer to its shape at all. Instead, this is a reference to the diamond durability, clarity, width, depth, brilliance, and other aspects of the diamond. Common cutting problems include a missing or off center culet, misalignment, and a diamond that is too thick or too thin, cracks, or broken culets.
