GIA and the Four Cs
The GIA established the guideline for grading diamonds with the four Cs, which are cut, carat, color, and clarity. A properly cut diamond reflects light well, displaying lots of fire and brilliance. But it is the sparkle of a diamond that warrants a purchase. A discerning buyer wants a gem that intensely sparkles with the brilliancy of the brightest of lights. Like Rihanna’s hit song, Shine Bright Like a Diamond.
The most popular carat weights are .50, 0.75, and 1 carat. As the gems get larger they become more rare and command higher prices.
The most sought after diamonds are colorless. Some diamonds will have degrees of color, but to the naked eye will still appear to be colorless. Therefore, there is no need to get the very highest color diamond. Save a substantial amount of money by choosing a near-colorless diamond.
One might think it is necessary to choose a gem that doesn’t have any inclusions. The truth of the matter is that all diamonds have some inclusions but the fewer impurities a gemstone has, the more it will cost. Most blemishes and inclusion can only be seen with precise instruments and with a trained eye. Take heart, diamonds with slight inclusions that are invisible to the naked eye will save you a lot of money.
A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows
These lovely gems meet the strict requirements of the top 1% of diamonds in the world. Hearts and Arrows diamonds feature ideal proportions and perfect facet placement. They not only have a rating of AGS Triple Zero for light performance, they also have perfect 3 dimensional symmetry.
Hearts and Diamonds dance in the light and sit at the epicenter of peak performance. Because of the stricter parameters, A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Diamonds are some of the best performing diamonds in the world. Whiteflash gauges the superior performance of the Hearts and Arrows diamonds based on the following checklist:
Hearts patterns must be uniform with equal size hearts.
The eight arrowhead tips must extend to the girdle.
Every arrow shaft must be aligned with the arrowhead.
Only minimal clefts in hearts are allowed.
The arrows must be distinct and separate from the arrowheads.
A CUT ABOVE® Princess Diamond Rings
The A CUT ABOVE® brand includes both round brilliant and Princess cut, both of which must have an AGS Triple Zero platinum certificate as a starting point.
Each A CUT ABOVE® Princess is thoroughly inspected to make sure it meets quality standards above and beyond those of the strictest laboratory. And because princess cuts are less expensive than rounds in general, choosing a A CUT ABOVE Princess is a good way to get elite light performance and also save some money (or get a larger gem for the money). Whiteflash guarantees AGS certified 0 diamonds that are known for superb light performance and brilliance. Particularly, Hillary Duff considers ACA Princess cut diamonds her favorite go-to jewelry.
Overall gemstone grade is AGS Ideal.
The diamond is vetted for any clarity characteristics that might diminish brilliancy.
The diamond’s corners are carefully examined for durability issues.
There isn’t any light leakage in the middle of the diamond.
The Princess is perfectly square with a length and width ratio within the range of 1.03.
Simply put, it is not possible to buy a finer Princess cut anywhere. And all Whiteflash A CUT ABOVE® diamonds are in-stock and available for immediate delivery.
