Only the rarest and most valuable are near colorless. Diamonds are graded for color using a scale from D (colorless) to Z (visibly yellow). Diamond Channel offers diamonds within the range of D to Q on the color scale. Clarity In nature, diamonds have marks that are not visible to the naked eye. When view through a jewelers loupe they can look like crystals or clouds and they affect the light performance of the polished diamond. That's why a diamond with a higher clarity grade is more valuable. Cut The angles and facets of a polished diamond are the main factor that determines its beauty. A well cut diamond allows light rays to enter the stone and reflect off its facets to create a beautiful display of fire, sparkle and brilliance. Diamond Channel diamonds are cut by expert artisans to give you maximum beauty for the best value. Carat Weight A diamond's weight is measured in carats, which corresponds roughly to its size. Each carat equals 100 points. A 3/4 carat stone might be referred to as 75 points. When there is more than one diamond in a piece of jewelry, the carat weight might be listed as "cttw" which is the total carat weight of all the diamonds in the piece. For example, diamond earrings of 1 cttw include two stones of 0.50 carats each - one in each earring.
