Origin
Select between natural and lab-grown diamonds to align your search with your unique preferences, sentimental values, ethical views, and financial constraints.
Shape
Selection Importance: The shape of a diamond significantly impacts its overall appearance and is one of the first characteristics to consider. Different shapes can accentuate various aspects of the diamond and the wearer’s style.
Guidance: Reflect on the personal style and preference of the recipient. Consider how each shape complements the intended setting and wearer’s hand. Round shapes are timeless and maximize brilliance, while fancy shapes like oval or marquise offer a unique look.
Cut
Premium (but underpriced!):
Matches Premium quality but priced as standard ideal cuts, without the typical 20% premium. Ideal for buyers wanting luxury diamonds at more attainable prices.
Premium / Hearts & Arrows:
Top 1% in quality, these diamonds are set at premium prices to match their unparalleled standards, perfect for those seeking utmost diamond excellence and exclusivity.
Carat
Selection Importance: Carat weight measures a diamond’s apparent size and contributes to its overall value.
Guidance: Determine the preferred balance between size and quality within your budget. Higher carat weight typically increases price, but combining it with lower grades in other areas can maximize value. Remember, cut quality can make a diamond appear larger.
Price
Prioritization: Determine which diamond characteristics are most important to you—size, clarity, color, or cut—and allocate your budget accordingly. Not all features hold equal importance to every buyer.
Financial Planning: Set a clear and firm budget before starting your search. Understand that the goal is to find the best diamond that aligns with both your financial limits and aesthetic preferences.
•Balancing Act: Compromise on certain characteristics if needed to ensure you stay within your budget. For instance, if size is a priority, you might consider diamonds with a lower clarity or color that still look beautiful to the naked eye.
Value Optimization: Aim to maximize the value within your budget by balancing the four Cs in a way that meets your specific desires and expectations.
Color
Selection Importance: Diamond color refers to the absence of color, with grades ranging from colorless to yellowish. Color can affect the diamond’s appearance and price.
Guidance: Choose a color grade that appears white in relation to its setting. Consider higher color grades (D-F) for larger diamonds or settings in white gold or platinum. Lower color grades (G-I) can offer better value and still appear colorless to the untrained eye.
Clarity
Selection Importance: Clarity assesses a diamond’s internal and external imperfections, known as inclusions and blemishes.
Guidance: Choose a clarity grade that appears “eye-clean” (typically VS2 or higher for most diamond sizes). Consider how inclusions affect the appearance and decide what is acceptable for your needs and budget. Higher clarity diamonds are more pristine but often come at a higher cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is D color good for a diamond?
Yes, D color is the highest color grade a diamond can receive. It is considered completely colorless, exhibiting no traces of color. This grade represents the pinnacle of diamond color quality, making D color diamonds exceptionally rare and highly sought after for their pure, pristine appearance.
Is D VS1 a good diamond?
Yes, a D VS1 diamond is an excellent choice. The D color grade ensures that the diamond is colorless, while the VS1 (Very Slightly Included 1) clarity grade means that it has very minor inclusions that are difficult to see even under 10x magnification. This combination of the highest color grade and a very high clarity grade results in a diamond that is both stunning and valuable, offering exceptional brilliance and beauty.
How rare are D diamonds?
D color diamonds are very rare. As the highest color grade on the GIA color scale, only a small percentage of diamonds achieve this grade. The lack of any color makes them highly desirable and significantly increases their value. Their rarity and exceptional quality make D color diamonds a prestigious choice for those seeking the finest gemstones.
Do D diamonds sparkle?
Yes, D diamonds sparkle brilliantly. While the color grade of a diamond affects its appearance, the sparkle or brilliance is primarily determined by the diamond’s cut. A well-cut D color diamond will exhibit exceptional brilliance and fire, reflecting and refracting light beautifully. The combination of a flawless color and an excellent cut ensures that D diamonds are among the most visually stunning and sparkling gemstones available.
