Diamond Carat Weight
The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes. Five metric carats weighs exactly 1 gram.
Some people want the largest diamond possible. If size is a priority, we at this store can help you classify the proper cut, color and clarity to fit your budget economically, and fit your ring beautifully. Many of our engagement rings can fit diamonds up to five carats or more, but each ring has different size constraints based on its size and the type of setting. Prong settings can be manipulated to fit virtually any size diamond, but tension-set diamonds and bezel set diamonds have more limitations on size.

Diamond Clarity
Diamonds are composed of mostly carbon. During the heating process, other elements become trapped inside, giving each diamond its own unique fingerprint. These inclusions help identify the clarity of your diamond. All diamonds are viewed through a 10x magnification lens by diamond graders.

No inclusions or blemishes are visible to a skilled grader.
(IF) Internally Flawless
No inclusions and only blemishes are visible to a skilled grader.
(VVS1-2) Very Very Slightly Included

(VS1-2) Very Slightly Included
Inclusions are clearly visible but can be characterized as minor.
(SI1-3) Slightly Included

(I1-3) Included

Diamond Color
Color is one of the more noticeable attributes of a diamond and has a heavy impact on the price of the stone. Diamonds range from colorless to yellow or light brown, and are sometimes found in a spectrum of fancy colors, including yellow, blue, and even red diamonds. The less color, the rarer the diamond. After 'Z' on the color scale, diamonds become fancy yellow, which cost more because of their rarity.
