Understand your report

The quality of a diamond is described by the 4Cs. Here is what each one means.

How we evaluate

Color

Graded from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown).

Clarity

From Flawless to Included, based on inclusions seen at 10× magnification.

Cut

How well the proportions, polish and symmetry return light, from Excellent to Poor.

Carat

The weight of the stone. One carat equals 0.2 grams.

Frequently asked questions

A diamond's price depends on details you cannot judge by eye: its carat weight, color, clarity and cut, and whether it is natural or laboratory-grown. A GEM report records these after an independent examination, so you can compare stones on the same terms and know exactly what you are paying for.
