What are the different grades of a diamond?
Diamonds are graded on their cut, clarity, and colour. Cut is graded based on a 6-step scale from Ideal to Poor. The clarity is graded on a 10-step scale from Flawless to Inclusions 2. Colour is graded on GIA’s D-to-Z system. The cut grade is the most important for overall beauty.
