The Expert's Guide to Diamond Value
Understanding your diamond helps you get the best price — we explain every factor transparently
Carat Weight
Higher carat weight means higher value — but prices increase exponentially, not linearly. A single 2ct diamond is always worth significantly more than two 1ct stones of identical quality.
Color Grade
D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). The less color, the rarer and more valuable. D–F = colorless premium. G–H = near-colorless, best value. Our experts analyze color in a controlled environment.
Clarity Grade
Measures absence of inclusions (internal) and blemishes (external). Most flaws are microscopic but impact price significantly. FL/IF stones are exceptionally rare and command large premiums.
Cut Grade
The most important C for brilliance. Excellent cut = maximum light return, fire, and sparkle. A well-cut 1ct stone can be worth 2–3× a poorly cut stone of equal weight.
Polish & Symmetry
These 'finish' grades assess surface condition and facet arrangement exactness. Excellent polish and symmetry can significantly increase a stone's value.
Fluorescence
The glow a diamond emits under UV light. Medium-strong blue fluorescence can make lower color grades appear whiter. We evaluate its specific impact on each stone for accurate pricing.
