Carat would be the primary eye catching property for anyone to notice. It gives the first impression and the initial influence of admiration.  However, once you get to examine the diamond you certainly realize that the carat is not the only factor to consider. The color of a diamond is another great feature to evaluate the value of the diamond.  The colorless it is, the more value it has. The color grades are measured starting with the letter “D” color grades. “D” color is graded colorless which would be considered to have the most and the highest value. 

Clarity of a diamond is also one of the key aspects in finalizing your diamond selection. The diamond clarity indicates the existence or the absence of inclusions that comes out in a diamond. Some inclusions are visible and some are not visible to naked eye. To make sure that these inclusions are not visible to naked eye we would suggest to adjust the clarity bar grade to VS2 and higher while searching your diamond in our inventory.  And while selecting your diamond cut please consider that the cut will be the primary element on how the stone is effectively returning the light back to your eyes.  We evaluate cut as Ideal, Excellent, Very Good, Good and Fair.
