- Shape. This describes the form of the diamond as viewed from the top. Each shape has its own unique attributes whether it’s a round, princess or emerald cut. We’ll help you to understand each shape, and make a choice based on your personal choice.
- Cut. The brilliance of a diamond depends on the craftsmanship involved in cutting it. Simply put, the better the cut, the more sparkle your diamond jewellery will have.
- Colour. The grade of a diamond’s colour identifies the lack of colour in white diamonds. Diamonds with little or no colour are considered the most precious due to their rarity.
- Clarity. The majority of the diamonds have small, if not microscopic blemishes. Diamonds with no imperfections are given the highest clarity grades.
- Carat weight. A familiar term, this is a measurement of a diamonds weight.
- Certification. Objective and independent grading of these precious stones is issued by the Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) and AGSL. Diamonds at La Vivion are GIA-certified, ensuring that only quality stones are offered to you.
