Cut of Diamonds – The Secret Behind the Sparkle

Diamond Shapes

Among all the 4Cs, the Cut is the most important because it controls how brilliantly a diamond reflects light. Even a high-color and high-clarity diamond can look dull if the cut is poor.

Understanding the Color of the Diamond

Diamond Color Chart

The "color" of a white diamond actually refers to its lack of color. Diamond color is graded using the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) scale, which runs from D to Z.

D–F (Colorless): These diamonds are the rarest and most valuable, showing virtually no discernible color. A "D" grade is considered absolutely colorless.

G–J (Near Colorless): These stones appear colorless face-up, especially when mounted. Very slight traces of color may be detected by an expert when viewed loose. They offer excellent value.

K–Z (Faint to Light Yellow/Brown): Color is visible to the naked eye, offering a lower price point.

Fancy Color Diamonds

Diamonds can also come in intense hues like blue, pink, red, or canary yellow. These are called Fancy Color Diamonds. Unlike white diamonds, where lack of color is prized, the value of a Fancy Color Diamond increases with the intensity and saturation of its color.

Understanding Clarity of the Diamond

Diamond Clarity

Every diamond is forged over billions of years deep within the earth under intense heat and pressure. During this natural process, the diamond retains certain birthmarks. These internal marks are called Inclusions, and external marks are called Blemishes.
