4 C’s of Lab Grown Diamond
Choosing the best is your right! Knowing the 4C’s of Lab-Grown Diamond helps you to choose the perfect diamond, with perfect brilliance and shine. Check out our Lab-Grown Diamond guide essential for better understanding.
1. Cut:
The most important aspect of a diamond is its cut. This will influence how bright it looks, especially when seen in the light. With so many choices such as brilliant, oval, cushion, and radiant. The cut can make all the difference to how bright your diamond looks. This is regardless of how large or heavy it is. The round brilliant cut diamond has max sparkle. As a result, it’s the most popular diamond shape.
Diamas Suggest: For Round Shape Diamonds prefer an Ideal or Excellent cut and in Fancy Shape Diamonds prefer a Very Good cut.
2. Clarity:
Diamond clarity refers to the purity and rarity of the stone, and the degree to which it presents blemishes and inclusions. When forming, natural microscopic characteristics can be trapped within or on the diamond. The lower the number of imperfections and flaws in a diamond’s aesthetic appearance, the higher the clarity grade. When determining the optimum clarity for a diamond, keep in mind that no diamond is entirely pure. However, the closer it gets to purity, the clearer it becomes.
Diamas Suggest: While clarity has a significant effect on the value of a diamond, most defects are invisible to the naked or unassisted eye, so We suggest VVS2 or VS1 clarity of the diamond.
3.Colour:
It is often assumed that diamonds are completely clear. But since diamonds have trace elements in them, they can have subtle colours. While colour is one of the 4 C’s that jewellers use to rate diamonds, the colour is more about rarity and quality. Completely colourless diamonds are the rarest, which makes them valuable.
Diamonds are rated based on hue, tone, and saturation, and the diamond colour scale includes those factors.
Diamond hue includes the stone's actual colour - for example, white, yellow, pink, brown, or blue. A gem's tone is the degree of colour, from light to dark. Finally, saturation is the colour’s depth and intensity. Colourless diamonds do not have saturation. Instead, they have fire and brilliance.
A diamond’s colour is the result of chemical impurities within the stone. The most commonly displayed tones are brown or yellow. The less colour a diamond exhibits, the rarer and therefore valuable it will be. The colour of a lab-grown diamond is determined based on the Gemological Institute of America’s (GIA) criteria. As with natural diamonds, the colour of a lab-grown diamond is subtle in nature and will vary from diamond to diamond. This can range on an alphabetical scale from D to Z. The former being virtually colourless and more valuable. However, the latter is noticeably yellow in colours and therefore, less valuable. Our range of colours are handpicked to ensure excellent light refraction and a long-lasting sparkle.
Diamas Suggest: At Diamas, we carry colourless diamonds (D-E-F) because they show the most brilliance and fire.
4. Carat
The Carat is the unit of diamond measurement. Carat (ct.) refers to the unique unit of weight measurement used exclusively to weigh gemstones and diamonds. Carat weight is often confused with visual size even though it is a measurement of weight. You cannot actually see carat weight with the naked eye. Several factors affect the weight of a stone, such as density, the formulation of the jewel, and the shape.
A phrase to look for when shopping is Total Carat Weight or TCW. Total carat weight represents the total weight of all diamonds in a piece of jewellery when more than one stone is used. Sets of jewellery, or jewellery sold in pairs, are typically sold using TCW. Diamond solitaire earrings, for example, are usually quoted in TCW, indicating the combined weight of the diamonds in both earrings.
The diamonds in our Diamond Size Chart may appear to be different sizes, but the carat weight is still the same. For example, the 1-carat ASSCHER diamond looks smaller than the 1-carat OVAL diamond, yet they are the same carat weight.
Diamas Suggest: To get a bigger look you can choose an elongated shape like Emerald, Oval, Pear, or Elongated Cushion shape Diamond.
