- Clarity
The clarity of a diamond is the inclusions and the flaws which can be external and internal. The grading report of the clarity of a diamond is from “I” to “FL”. As many of the inclusions can be seen only with magnification.
- Color
The color grading of a diamond is a scale from “D” to “Z”. Where the “D” indicates to be colorless which we aim for and on the other hand, “Z” indicates to have yellow hue present in the diamond due to other elements.
- Carat Weight

#Finish
The “Finish” includes the “Polish” which indicates the facets which enhance the performance of the light and makes the diamond sparkle and the “Symmetry” which is associated with the facets. Any single facets are out of its place will degrade and affect the brilliancy of a diamond.
#Fluorescence
The fluorescence of a diamond scale grade ranges from “None” to “Strong”. The fluorescence of a diamond is neither good nor bad, as it doesn’t affect the sparkle or the authenticity of a diamond. Depending upon the finish of a diamond it will react by producing a soft hue under ultraviolet light.
#Proportions
The diamond proportions include the “Table” which indicates the refraction. The refraction is how light enters and moves through a diamond. The diamond table is when a diamond experiences the most refraction.
The “Depth” of a diamond is measured from the diamond table which is the top of a diamond to the bottom of a diamond which is known as the culet. Overall visual performance of a diamond comes from measuring the height of a diamond.
