Colour• The colour of diamond varies from colourless to many shades of yellow. Slight
tints of yellow make a diamond less rare, but some people prefer the personality it gives a stone of good Cut and Clarity.
• The diamond colour scale was devised by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in the mid 1950's to regulate and define the colour of diamonds.

• The cut of a diamond should not be confused with its shape. Shapes are cut from the original rough diamond, a well-cut diamond is always better able to reflect light.
• The cut of a diamond refers to its proportions. It is one of the most important factors to be considered while selecting your diamond. It is an aspect which is directly influenced by man.
Carat

• The word “carat” has evolved from the ancient practice in India of measuring diamond weights with the one thing in nature that is both small and the most consistent in weight - the carob seed. Thus the name "carat" evolved in the English language, which is still equivalent to approximately the weight of one carob bean.
• A diamonds weight is represented in carats. One Diamond carat is divided into 100 points. A 0.25 carat diamond is the same as a 25 points or 1/4 carat diamond. One carat is the equivalent of 0.2 grams. Carat is often confused with size even though it is actually a measure of weight.
Clarity

Clarity is one of the two best-known factors in diamond pricing, along with colour.
