Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Our diamonds are meticulously graded by experienced gemologists, ensuring accuracy and consistency. We adhere to the 4Cs of diamond grading – Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Colour – to provide our clients with a comprehensive understanding of each diamond’s quality.
Carat: The carat weight of a diamond is a measure of its size. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams. While carat weight is an important factor, it is not the only determinant of a diamond’s value.
Cut: The cut of a diamond refers to the proportions, symmetry, and polish of its facets. A well-cut diamond will reflect light more effectively, resulting in greater brilliance and fire.
Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the absence of inclusions (internal flaws) and blemishes (external flaws). Diamonds with fewer inclusions and blemishes are considered more valuable.
Colour: The colour of a diamond refers to its lack of colour. Diamonds are graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Colourless diamonds are the most rare and valuable.
