Cut, Color, Carat Weigh and Clarity are used to grade and classify diamonds.

Cut  -  We carefully select the diamonds we inventory for optimum fire and brilliance. We inventory well cut to ideal cut diamonds. Allow us to explain how the cut of a diamond effects its beauty.

 Color  -  We consistently stock colorless to near colorless diamonds.

• D-E-F                Colorless
• G-H-I-J              Near Colorless

Carat Weight  -  We stock diamonds ranging from 0.50 carat to 3.00 plus carats in all the most popular shapes.

Clarity  -  Is determined by the GIA Grading Scale . Our traditional inventory consists of diamonds IF in clarity to SI.

FL (Flawless) - No imperfections inside or outside of the diamond under the power of a 10-magnification loupe.

IF (Internally Flawless) - No internal imperfections under the power of a 10-magnification loupe.

VVS-1, VVS-2 (Very, Very Slightly Imperfect) - Small imperfections very difficult to see under the power of a 10-magnification loupe.

VS-1, VS-2 (Very Slightly Imperfect) - Small imperfections which are slightly (VS-2) to difficult (VS-1) to see under the power of a 10-magnificaltion loupe.

SI-1, SI-2 (Slightly Imperfect) - Imperfections that are fairly easy to see under the power of a 10-magnification loupe.

SI-3 (Slightly Imperfect) - Slightly visible to the naked eye. This grading fills a void between SI-2 and I-1. Although this grade is listed in the Rapport Wholesale Buying Guide and used by EGL, not all grading laboratories recognize this classification.

I-1, I-2, I-3 (Imperfect) - Imperfections from eye visible to easily seen by the naked eye.
