Guide To Diamond Grade

Diamond grading is not something for the unprofessional eye

, in fact many diamond professionals are unable to properly grade a diamond.

To do so one requires special highly sophisticated equipment and some very less sophisticated ones and lastly, as diamond grading is not an exact science, it is important that the observer is very consistent in the diamond grading process which is not often the case.

Diamond grading is therefore now left to diamond grading laboratories and their reports accompany diamonds in the form of a certificate.

To grade a diamond one must first have a good set of diamond colour samples. A diamond is then presented next to one of the samples and it is the observers eye that determines where exactly the colour falls, it can be anywhere between two separate colour spectrum ranges. As an example say your diamond is an F colour, it can be a very good F, near to the E colour or a very bad F near to the G colour. If the observer is less than consistent then upon a next consultation he may find this same diamond to be an E in the best of cases or a G in the worst of ones. Should then the price of this diamond be the same if it is a good F as it would if it was a bad one. No of course not but in many cases a jeweller will not be able to tell the difference and they will pas the diamond on to a customer who will be none the wiser.

The same goes for the clarity so say you have a flaw which is black in the centre of the diamond and another, of the same size, which is white and on the side of it. Should these be priced the same no of course not they should be priced differently and this should be pointed out to the customer. This is often not the case and the client is somewhat misled.

The experts at the Jewellery Web Shop will advise educate and guide you explaining in detail what you actually will be receiving for your money.

Lastly the rest is quite easy as the professional technical equipment used by the different laboratories are very much the same and these instruments will give the same results time after time.

The grading of diamonds, therefore, is quite subjective and it is more important to purchase your laboratory graded diamond from an experienced and knowledgeable source.

The Jewellery Web Shop supplies this advise on a regular basis.
