COLOR
The diamond is colorless in its pure state. Various shades range from the most refined and colorless to the color with solid shades of yellow in the diamond color scale. A diamond can have intense shades of blue, green, pink, or red.
CLARITY
A diamond's clarity is a fundamental characteristic of the brilliance of the gem. In the purity scale, diamond impurities are classified from "Internally Flawless" to "Included" visible to the naked eye. It is imperative to choose a diamond with no inclusions in the center of the gem because it would significantly reduce its brilliance.
CUT
A diamond's cut is a very delicate operation entrusted to expert cutting masters. The most common and popular cut shape is the round one, with which its 57 facets make the mineral a shining gem. The diamond is also cut in other forms, among the main ones: oval, square, heart, pear, and emerald cut.
CARAT
The carat represents the unit of weight adopted in the gem trade. Diamond is the gem with the highest specific weight. This aspect is reflected in the mass of the gem, which is heavier for the same size compared to all other precious stones.
