Shape
As the name suggests, shape (round, princess, radiant, etc.) describes a diamond’s form, primarily as viewed from above.
Cut
Cut does not refer to a diamonds shape (e.g. round, oval, princess etc), it refers to a diamonds proportions, symmetry and polish.
Colour
Diamonds come in wide range of colours, some of them extremely rare (yellows, pinks and blues).
Clarity
Clarity is sometimes referred to as purity and is a measure of the number, size and location of the tiny imperfections or flaws that occur in almost all natural diamonds.
Carat Weight
Diamonds are sold by the carat (shown as ct.) which is a unit of weight and does not directly relate to height or size.
Certification
Before being purchased, many diamonds are sent to a third party laboratory for comprehensive evaluation; this process is known in the industry as diamond certification.
