Color
It is hard to differentiate the colour or shade of the diamond from the naked eye; however, it does play a significant role in determining the pricing of the diamond. Based on the colour, the diamonds are generally graded alphabetically in this way,
D-F: ColourlessG-J: Nearly colourlessK-M: With slight tintsN-R: Very light yellowS-Z: Very light yellow or brownCut
If you are looking for a larger diamond or solitaire, it is essential to look for the cuts rather than the colour, as it will help you find a better deal. Combining it with the suitable colour gold, whether white, yellow or rose, will help change the diamond's shade distinctively. Some popular diamond cuts are Round, Cushion, Emerald, Princess, Baguette, Oval, Marquise, and Trillion. However, the list goes on!
Clarity
Diamonds are further classified based on the clarity it reflects. The diamonds are divided into the clarity categories as follows:
High Clarity- FL (Completely Flawless)Medium clarityVVS1, VVS2 (Very, very slightly included)VS1, VS2Lower clarity- SI1, I1, I2 and I3 Carat
Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. It plays a significant role in determining the price. However, it may lose some weight after polishing; thus, it is essential to ask the jeweller for the final weight after getting it polished or studded into the jewellery while buying.
