Cut
A diamond’s cut characterizes its angles, polishes, proportions, shine, and symmetrical facets. The cut of a diamond influences how impactful the stone is, or how “brilliant” it will look. Don’t confuse the cut with the shape. Shape refers to the form of a diamond, while cut relates to the proportions of the stone.
We’ll admit that cut is not the most important aspect when looking for diamonds in your next bracelet or pair of earrings. Just make sure the stones appear bright and sparkly.
- Ideal cut (0)
- Excellent cut (1)
- Very good cut (2)
- Good cut (3-4)
- Fair cut (5-7)
- Poor cut (8-10)
Here are the most common diamond cut styles:
- Cushion
- Emerald
- Heart
- Oval
- Pear
- Princess
- Radiant
- Round
That said, you may be overwhelmed by the number of cut choices. For your convenience, we’ve compiled the five most popular diamond cuts that folks from Crown Point and greater Chicago enjoy.
Color
- No color: The AGS rates colorless diamonds from 0 to 1, and the GIA rates colorless diamonds from D to F. Diamonds without color are the highest quality diamonds and the most expensive.
- Nearly colorless: The AGS rates these diamonds in the 1.5 to 3 range, and the GIA rates these diamonds G to J. You’ll find that these diamonds actually appear colorless when mounted.
- Faint color: The AGS ranks these from 3.5 to 4.5. The GIA ranks these from K to M. At less than .5 carats, the diamond appears colorless when mounted. In larger diamonds, some color is visible.
- Very light color: The AGS ranks these diamonds at 5 to 7. The GIA ranks these from N to R. These will show some color even when mounted.
- Light color: The color of these diamonds becomes easier to see as the grade moves from 7.5 to 10. The GIA ranks these from S to Z.
Clarity
The higher a diamond’s clarity, the fewer inclusions or blemishes it contains. When you shop for your next diamond ring, always check for diamond clarity.
Similar to color, the higher the diamond’s clarity, the more expensive the diamond will be. Diamond clarity sometimes is not as important when buying a bracelet as opposed to an engagement ring because the stones are set in a bracelet.
(Still, you should check that none of the stones in your next piece of jewelry have visible clarity flaws.)
- Flawless (FL) diamonds: No blemishes or inclusions.
- Internally flawless (IF) diamonds: No internal inclusions, but some possible slight surface blemishes.
- Very, very slightly included (VVS1 and VVS2) diamonds: Small inclusions that are hard to see, even with magnification.
- Very slightly included (VS1 and VS2) diamonds: Minor inclusions that are easy to see when magnified but can’t be seen by the naked eye.
- Slightly included (SI1 and SI2) diamonds: Inclusions that may be visible even without magnification.
- Included (I1, (I2, and I3) diamonds: Inclusions that are easily seen by the naked eye.
Carat
Carat is a measure of a diamond’s physical weight, not its size. One carat is equal to ⅕, or .2, grams. Unlike the other C’s, there’s nothing subjective about this quality measurement: The scale doesn’t lie! Generally speaking, the more a diamond weighs, the more it will cost.
