Carat
0.148 Carat
Often mistaken as a unit of size, a carat actually measures the weight of a gemstone, with 1 carat equaling 0.2 grams. Historically, carob seeds (locust beans) were used as weights for measuring gemstones. It is said that the term 'carat' originates from the Greek word 'Karation,' which means carob seed.
Colour
E: Colourless
Many diamonds contain nitrogen and have a slight yellowish tint. The closer a diamond is to pure colorless transparency, the more valuable it becomes. The color grading scale starts with 'D' for colorless and goes down to 'Z' for yellow, divided into 23 alphabetical stages.
Clarity
VS2: Very Slightly Included
Clarity refers to the transparency of a diamond. It is assessed by observing the diamond under a 10x magnification loupe, evaluating the size, number, position, quality, color, and visibility of inclusions, as well as any scratches or wear that occur after cutting. The grades range from 'FL (Flawless),' where no imperfections or defects are observed, to levels where inclusions are visible to the naked eye, categorized into 11 grades.
