3. I. CARAT :- A MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHT NOT OF SCALE. ONE CARAT IS
EQUAL TO 200 MILLIGRAMS. HOWEVER, CARAT CAN HELP
DETERMINE SCALE. FOR EXAMPLE, A ONE CARAT DIAMOND IS
TYPICALLY 6.5MM ACROSS.
4. II. CUT :- THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT FOR ITS VISUAL
APPEARANCE. AN IDEAL CUT DIAMOND HAS FOLLOWED
EXACTING MATHEMATICAL STANDARDS TO ALLOW FOR
MAXIMUM LIGHT RETURN RESULTING IN MAXIMUM SPARKLE.
5. III. COLOR :- CRYSTAL CLEAR IS THE WAY TO GO A COMPLETELY
COLORLESS DIAMOND IS CHEMICALLY PURE. STRUCTURALLY SOUND
AND VERY RARE. GENERALLY, D-F WILL BE COLORLESS TO THE NALED
EYE, WHILE G-J MAY BE SLIGHTLY DISTINGUISHABLE TO A VERY
TRAINED EYE.
6. IV. CLARITY :- INCLUSIONS OR INTERNAL
IRREGULARITIES ARE TYPICALLY
MEASURED UNDER 10X MAGNIFICATION.
GRADES VVS2 AND HIGHER HAVE
BLEMISHES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE
AT THAT MAGNIFICATION – MEANING IF
THERE ARE BLEMISHES THEY WILL
PROBABLY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO VIEW WITH
THE NAKED EYE.
