Carat refers to the weight of a gemstone, most commonly used for diamonds. A higher carat usually means a larger and heavier stone.

Clarity measures the purity of a gemstone by checking for internal or external flaws. The fewer the imperfections, the higher the clarity grade.

Color in diamonds refers to how colorless the stone appears. Graded from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow), less color often means higher value.

Diamond cut refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and faceted, directly affecting its brilliance and sparkle. A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully, making it appear more radiant and lively. Cut grades range from Excellent to Poor and are one of the most important factors in a diamond’s overall beauty.

Fancy color refers to diamonds that display vivid hues like yellow, pink, blue, or green, beyond the traditional colorless range. These rare stones are graded based on color intensity, with terms like Fancy Light, Fancy Vivid, and Fancy Deep. Their unique shades make them highly desirable and often more valuable than colorless diamonds.
