"Diamonds" More About It"

Cut
What makes diamonds stand out beyond any other precious gemstone is their fire and brilliance. While nature determines the color and clarity of a stone, diamond cut is dependent solely upon the skill of the cutter.


The cut of a diamond is what determines how the light that enters the diamond is reflected and therefore how much fire and brilliance the diamond will exude. A diamond that is cut too shallow with respect to its width will allow too much light to pass straight through the diamond, leaving little light to reflect. Such a diamond will appear dull and lacking in brilliance. Conversely, a diamond cut too deeply will allow light to escape from the sides of the diamond, also appearing dull.

Shallow Cut:

Light is lost out the sides, causing the diamond to lose fire and brilliance.

Deep Cut:
Light goes straight through the diamond, causing it to appear dark and dull.

Ideal cut:
This is a very rare cut, that reflects nearly all light that enters the diamond and creates the maximum fire and brilliance.

Premium cut:
Reflects almost as much light as the Ideal Cut, but for a lower price, and is a Diamonds On Web recommended buy.

Good cut:
Reflects most light that enters the diamond, but not as must as a Premium Cut diamond. This is less expensive than the Premium Cut and is a Diamonds On Web recommended buy.

Fair cut:
These still are a quality diamond, but a Fair Cut diamonds will not be as brilliant as a good cut.

Poor cut:
All the diamonds that do not meet the Fair Cut quality standards are placed in. These diamonds are deep and narrow or shallow and wide and tend to lose most of the light out the sides and bottom. Diamonds On Web does not carry Poor Cut diamonds.

"Diamonds" More About It

A diamond is the oldest item that anyone can own - it's three billion years in age, a strategic and high tech super material for our technological society that is formed in the earth's interior and shot to the surface by extraordinary volcanoes. It is carbon in its most concentrated form, composed solely of carbon -- the chemical element fundamental to all life, thus it is a native element.

Color
Diamond color has a significant impact on its value. The color scale ranges from D to Z, from colorless to light yellow, respectively. To ensure the highest quality diamonds for your selection Diamonds On Web carries diamonds in the color range from D-K only. We do NOT carry any diamonds in the L-Z color range, to ensure you are selecting diamonds of the highest quality.
The farther from colorless the grade of a diamond, the less rare and therefore less valuable it is. When buying a diamond, take into consideration that it is often very difficult to detect the difference between a colorless diamond (D-F) and a near colorless diamond (G-H), especially when it is mounted in jewelry. Diamonds with a J-Z color grade usually have yellow shading that can be detected by the naked eye, however, a well cut stone with good proportions will still release the brilliance and fire of a lower colored diamond, dispersing light in such a way so as to create a beautiful stone.
Diamonds also come in a range of natural fancy tones, such as blue, pink, green, and red. Such diamonds have so much color that they are not graded on the normal scale D-Z. Believe it or not, these fancy diamonds are particularly rare, and like their colorless counterparts, can also come attached to a high price tag. Bear in mind that color does not have an exclusive impact on a diamond's value. The value of a stone is affected by a combination of qualities including shape, clarity, cut, and carat weight, as well as its color.

D:

Absolutely colorless diamond. The highest color grade, which is extremely rare.
E:
Colorless. Minimal traces of color that can only detected by an expert gemologist. Also, a very rare diamond. A Diamonds On Web recommendation.

F:
Colorless. Slight color, which can only be detected by an expert gemologist, but still considered a "colorless" grade. Another Diamonds On Web recommendation.
G-I:
Near-colorless. Color noticeable when compared to diamonds of better grades, but these grades offer excellent value. A Diamonds On Web excellent value.
J-K:
Near-colorless. Color slightly detectable. Also, a Diamonds On Web excellent value diamond.

L-N:
Noticeable to the untrained eye. Not carried at Diamonds On Web.

O-S:
Not carried at Diamonds On Web.

T-Z:
Not carried at Diamonds On Web.
Fluorescence
A bluish glow that comes from a stone exposed to ultraviolet light. The effect of fluorescence depends on the combination of the color of the stone in question and the strength of the fluorescence. Faint fluorescence has very little effect on a stone of any color. Medium blue fluorescence and strong blue fluorescence can have a positive effect on stones of low color (J or worse). The fluorescence actually has the effect of making the stone look closer to near colorless. On stones of high color (D-G), strong or medium blue fluorescence can make the stone look milky instead of colorless or near colorless.
Diamonds On Web Best Value: Color
For the best value in diamond color, Diamonds On Web only carries diamonds in the color range of D-K. Diamonds with a higher color grade, appear whiter. The whiter the stone, more light is able to pass through it, making it sparkle and shine. Diamonds with a color grade of K and higher are near-colorless or colorless, and are recommend best value, since their color is undetectable to the untrained and unaided eye.
