5 thoughts on “What are the grades of diamonds?”

  1. There is a set of classification levels of diamond clarity levels divided into five large levels, ten small levels. From high to low, LC, WS1- 2, VS1-2, S11--2. P1-3.
    LC: Fireless level, even the diamond grading master can not observe the flaws inside the diamond under 10 times jewelry, which belongs to the top diamond clarity.

    WS: The level of a small flawed. Although the experienced masters can find extremely small impurities inside the diamond in 10 times the large mirror, the difficulty is very high.

    vs: The level of tiny defects. The impurities inside this type of diamond are also very small. The difference between WS is that the experienced graded master can easily find the impurities with 10 times jewelry, which is less difficult.

    sl: Small defective level. It is easy to find the internal impurities inside the diamond with 10 times large mirror.

    p: Experienced divided masters can see the impurities of diamonds with the naked eye. According to the size, quantity of impurities, and the degree of the degree of diamond quality, it is divided into P1.P2. P3.

    The expansion information:
    1. The assessment of diamond clarity includes the identification of the number, size, visibility, type, location, and its overall appearance of the diamond. Although there are no absolute flawless natural diamonds in the world, the higher the diamonds, the higher the value.
    2, GIA diamond clarity standards are divided into 6 categories and 11 levels.
    has no time to (FL): Observe under 10 times the large mirror, diamonds do not have any inner content or surface characteristics.
    The flawless grade (IF): Observation under 10 times the large mirror, there is no internal content inside the diamond.
    The minor inner content (VVS1 and VVS2): Observe under 10 times the large mirror, there are extremely small internal contents inside the diamond, and it is difficult to see even professional appraisers.
    D minor inner content (VS1 and VS2): Observe under 10 times the large mirror, there are tiny internal contents inside the diamond.
    It micro -internal levels (SI1 and SI2): Observe under 10 times the large mirror, diamonds have visible internal contents.
    This containing grade (P1, P2 and P3): The defects of diamonds are obviously visible under 10 times large mirror, and it may affect the transparency and brightness of diamonds.
    3, natural diamonds are formed by carbon elements in high temperature and high pressure environments. This process also leads to the internal characteristics of each diamond, which is called "inner content", and on the surface of the diamond is called "surface feature".

  2. Diamond level distinction, how to distinguish
    diamond ring
    ? For levels, LC levels are generally rare. Color: From high to low: extremely white, high -white, white, light yellow and white, light yellow, generally mainly white and light yellow white. Weight: The weight unit is carat (CT), 1 carat = 0.2 grams = 100 points. Generally, the diamond grade must be marked with more than 10 points. Cutting: Inlaid diamonds generally do not comment on cutting. Whether the fluorescence of diamonds has nothing to do with the quality of the diamond, but it is only one of the evidence corresponding to the certificate corresponding to the diamond.

    The diamond level distinction is mainly divided according to the international standards of "4C". Therefore, when buying diamonds, pay attention to the "4C" western proverb saying "Diamonds are the best friends of girls", and China also has the saying that "diamonds are long and long, a forever spread". Although many people also choose other jewelry as engagement rings, such as rubies, emeralds, or pearls, diamond rings are currently the most fashionable choices. When choosing diamonds, pay attention to the "Four C": Cut — cutting, Clarity — clarity, color — color and cara -carat.

    cut —— cutting: The cutting of the diamond is extremely important, which directly affects the value of diamonds. Only the standard cutting method can show its bright light and achieve the perfect combination of clarity and color. The cut diamonds are generally spheres or cone. There are many shapes in the cut surface, square, rectangular, hexagonal, circular and oval, etc., but the most popular is the simple hexagonal shape, and many of its cut surfaces can better show the light of diamonds.

    clarity — Cleence: Diamond crystals in the mantle magma deep in the deep earth. After hundreds of millions of geological changes, it has various natural marks. The color, size, and position distribution of these imprints have different degrees of effect on the value of diamonds. Diamond surfaces or inside often have flaws, such as bubbles, cracks, and feathers. The less defects, the higher the level of diamonds. In general, the clarity of diamonds is divided into five levels and ten small levels in turn.

    Color —— color: the color of the diamond, from precious colorless, rare light blue, pink to common yellowing. The more transparent the diamond is, the more white the white light can penetrate, and it is even more colorful after refraction and color. The whitening diamonds are D -grade, and the others are E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, and N and N.

    carat — Crants: The weight of the diamond is carved. 1 carat is equal to 0.2 grams. One carat is divided into one hundred points, such as 0.75 cents carat also known as 75 points. Diamonds with the same weight will be far from the difference in color, clarity, and cutting. For example, if a large 2 carat diamond is cut, the shape is too outdated, and the air bubbles are too much. And a diamond with only 1/2 caramel, if it is colorless, high in clarity, and the most popular cut, it will be more like and the price is expensive. [IDoer]

  3. For a finished diamond, the international 4C standard is used to classify. These 4C include: color, cact weight, clarity, and cut (CUT). The 4C standard has a direct impact on the quality of the finished diamond. Russia's AlROSA launched the fifth "C" — faith (). Allow jewelry buyers to use diamond electronic passports to track their diamond history in detail.

  4. With the popularity of diamonds, people's concern for diamonds is no longer limited to true and false identification, but the quality of diamonds. Internationally, it is usually based on the principle of 4C, that is,:
    carat weight: 1 carat is equal to 200 mg.
    Clearness: divided into six levels of FL, IF, VVS, VS, SI, and I. The market is more common in the market.
    color: from D, E, F, LLN and cutting: divided into good, good, general.
    The understanding of diamond classification knowledge will help purchase prices and quite reasonable quality diamonds.
    The color gems, such as rubies, sauggats, etc., the quality depends on its color, transparency, flaws, cutting and other factors. Wash gem jewelry, generally take a bowl of warm water, add a small amount of detergent, wash it with small brushes with water, then rinse with water, and then dry the water with a cloth, dry the soft silk cloth. Storage of gem jewelry, be careful not to place all the jewelry in a box at the same time, because the jewelry inlaid on the jewelry will rub each other, causing the gem damage and losing luster.
    Is keeping in mind the standard for measuring the quality of a diamond -4C
    "4C" is the measurement standard for you to determine the value and quality of a diamond. The so -called "4C" is the abbreviation of four English words starting with C. It refers to the caraat weight, clarity, color, and cut (CUT). Just comprehensively appreciate the four points of "4C", you can easily understand the value and quality of a diamond. Diamond jewelry price = weight color clarity cutting.
    carat weight
    The diamond weight is calculated in carats. 1 carat = 200 mg = 0.2 grams. One carat is divided into one hundred copies, each called one point, 0.75 carats 75 points, and 0.09 carats are 9 points. In the case of similar conditions, as the weight of the diamond increases, the value of the value is increased geometrically; diamonds with the same weight will be far from the difference in color, clarity, and cutting.
    Clarity
    The diamond crystals in the mantle magma deep in the mantle of the earth. After hundreds of millions of years of geological changes, it inevitably contains various debris and flaws. The color, how much, size, and position distribution of these inside contains the effects of different degrees on diamond clarity. Usually, 10 times large mirror inside the diamond, surface defects and its degree of impact on gloriousness, and the clarity level of unsolved diamonds is subdivided into LC, VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, P1, P2, P3, 10, 10 level.
    color (color)
    The diamonds have many natural colors. From precious colorless (white after cutting), rare light orchids, pink to common yellowing. The more transparent, the more white light can penetrate, and the more colorful after refraction and color.
    The diamond color grading is in the hierarchical environment of a professional laboratory. The technicians will be determined repeatedly with the standard color of the standard color than the standard color stones. The color of diamonds is divided into 11 levels, which are divided into: D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N.
    Cut (CUT)
    The brilliant glory of diamond is attributed to its unique high refractive index and high -color scattered performance. Diamonds are the hardest substances. They are not destructive, never worn, and they are glory and eternal. The method of judging the advantages and disadvantages of diamonds: pick up the diamonds, stare at the light at the top. The exquisite diamonds of the car are brilliant and dazzling. The level of the car is: good, good, general.
