Just because a diamond is bigger, doesn’t mean it’s better. The right diamond isn’t just based on one factor but a combination of all 4 Cs (carat, cut, clarity and colour). When choosing a diamond, focus on the quality that’s most important to you, then work to balance the remaining three.

If you are looking at a white gold or platinum band, we would recommend colour grades of G-H. Opt for a colour grade between D (colourless) and G (near-colourless) for a mesmerising icy white diamond without unnecessary cost. If you are looking at a rose gold or yellow gold band, we would recommend a diamond with a colour range of G-J. The warm tones of the metal will offset any hints of colour in the diamond. The most frequent diamond colour we see amongst our customers is F. This is closely followed by E and G.

To be sure that your diamond can display its full fire and brilliance, we would recommend a SI1 clarity grade or higher. Aim for clarity grades like VS1 or VS2 (Very Slightly Included) for diamonds with minimal visible flaws to the naked eye. The most popular diamond clarity grade we see amongst our customers is VS1, closely followed by VVS2.

A diamond cut grade is only applicable to round shaped diamonds and affects how the diamond catches light and sparkles. Look for Excellent or Ideal cut grades for maximum brilliance.
