Color

The diamond industry uses a letter system to grade the color of diamonds, from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). A diamond with less color is more valuable.

Diamond Colors Chart

The less color a diamond has, the more light passes through the stone to make it sparkle! At Gems Jewelry, we take pride in offering diamonds with a color grade of F or better.

Cut

Cut refers to the precise proportions and dimensions of a finished diamond. How a diamond is cut affects the stone's "brilliance," or how much it sparkles.

The cut of a diamond helps determine its brilliance.

Clarity

The natural imperfections in diamonds are called inclusions — minerals or crystals trapped inside the stone during its formation. The characteristics of the inclusions determine the clarity of the diamond. Diamonds that have no inclusions will reflect more light and are very rare.

Clarity Chart

Nearly all diamonds contain these inclusions, or tiny "birthmarks," which make each stone unique. Most are unseen to the unaided eye; jewelers need magnifiers to identify them.

Carat Weight

The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. Total carat weight (T.W.) is the total weight of all the stones in a piece of jewelry. For example, a ring with one 1/2 carat stone and two 1/4 carat stones would have a T.W. of 1 carat.
