Diamond Clarity

Clarity is a term that’s used to describe the clearness of a diamond. A perfect diamond with perfect clarity is rare, and most flaws that exist in jewelry grade diamonds cannot be seen without looking at them through a jeweler’s magnifying loupe.

It’s important to understand diamond clarity before you shop for an engagement ring, so that you can make sense of the jeweler’s explanations–and so that you don’t get too exited about the word flaws or other terms used to describe the tiny imperfections in diamonds.

How to Judge Diamond Clarity gives you an overview of the clarity grades you’ll encounter when you shop for diamonds.

Facts About Diamond Inclusions goes into more detail about the imperfections found inside of diamonds.

How Diamond Surface Blemishes Affect Clarity explains inclusions on the surface of a diamond.

This information about Using a Jewelry Loupe helps you take a close up look.

Diamond Carat Weight

Carat weight is expressed in different ways, as the weight of one diamond or several, and as “points” for smaller diamonds.

Facts About Diamond Carat Weight familiarizes you with diamond weight labeling, to help you understand what you are buying.

Diamond Cut

The term diamond cut does not refer to a diamond’s shape. It describes the diamond’s proportions, such as its depth and width and the uniformity of its facets–all characteristics that control brilliance, durability and other features we look for in a quality diamond.

A good cut is essential to a diamond’s beauty. If the cut is of poor proportions, even a diamond with outstanding color and clarity will not display the sparkle that diamonds are famous for, because the gemstone’s components cannot interact with light as they should.

Diamond Cut Basics gives you a background in the characteristics that make up a quality cut diamond.

The Gemological Institute of America puts diamond cuts into three basic categories, and when you break it down like that, cut really isn’t confusing at all. Here’s a look at popular cutting styles you’ll encounter when you shop for a diamond.
