CARAT
The carat is the standard unit of measurement used to indicate the weight of a diamond. Carat is often confused with size even though it is actually a measure of weight. One carat equals 200 milligrams or 0.2 grams. Remember that while the measurements below are typical, every diamond is unique.
One carat (1 ct) equals 0.20 grams and is divided into 100 points
(half a carat – 0.50 ct – diamond can be described as a 50 points diamond).
The scale below illustrates the typical size relationship between diamonds of increasing carat weights
YOUR DIAMOND
2.36 Ct.
COLOR
A diamond's color is one of its most significant characteristics, enlisted as a fundamental measure of quality. The diamond color scale begins at D (colorless) and ends at Z (light yellow). Highest quality diamond stones have no hue in their sparkle and that is their classic splendour, admired for ages. Colorless diamonds allow more light to pass through than a colored diamond, releasing more sparkle and fire
YOUR DIAMOND
K — Near-colorless — bright and excellent value
CLARITY
A diamond's clarity refers to the presence of impurities on and within the stone. When diamonds are formed naturally under extreme heat and pressure, imperfections in the crystal structure can form and tiny traces of natural elements are almost always trapped inside called inclusions. The diamond with highest quality on clarity grading is the one with absence of any imperfections which could possibly occur in the stone
YOUR DIAMOND
SI2 — Slight — inclusions easily noticeable at 10×
