But two diamonds of equal weight can have very different values depending on the other members of the Four C\u2019s: clarity, color and cut. The majority of diamonds used in fine jewelry weigh one carat or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"701\" height=\"161\" src=\"https:\/\/venus-tears.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/COLOUR-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venus-tears.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/COLOUR-1.png 701w, https:\/\/venus-tears.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/COLOUR-1-300x69.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>GIA\u2019s color-grading scale for diamonds is the industry standard.

This process can result in a variety of internal characteristics called \u2018inclusions\u2019 and external characteristics called \u2018blemishes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GIA Diamond Clarity Scale has 6 categories, some of which are divided, for a total of 11 specific grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flawless (FL) &#8211; No inclusions and no blemishes visible under 10x magnification<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Internally Flawless (IF) &#8211; No inclusions visible under 10x magnification<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS1 and VVS2) &#8211; Inclusions so slight they are difficult for a skilled grader to see under 10x magnification<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Very Slightly Included (VS1 and VS2)- Inclusions are observed with effort under 10x magnification, but can be characterized as minor<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2) &#8211; Inclusions are noticeable under 10x magnification<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Included (I1, I2, and I3) &#8211; Inclusions are obvious under 10x magnification which may affect transparency and brilliance<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"694\" height=\"227\" src=\"https:\/\/venus-tears.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/CUT.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venus-tears.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/CUT.png 694w, https:\/\/venus-tears.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/CUT-300x98.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>A round brilliant cut diamond has 57 or 58 facets, the 58th being a tiny flat facet at the bottom of the pavilion that\u2019s known as the culet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GIA Cut Grading System applies to the most popular cutting style \u2013 the standard round brilliant, and all clarities across the D-to-Z color range. There are five cut grades: Excellent (EX), Very Good (VG), Good (G), Fair (F), and Poor (P).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facets are the key to a diamond\u2019s cut quality. Their angles, size, and arrangement to each other, as well as the quality of their surfaces in addition to other factors, are critical in delivering that sparkle you expect to see when looking at a diamond face up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TIP: Ex Ex Ex or Triple Ex: You\u2019ll hear these terms to describe diamonds with an Excellent overall cut grade, and Excellent polish and Symmetry grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to inquire with us through WhatsApp. VENUS TEARS WhatsApp: 8518 4875 and Facebook page is available too!
