How to Choose a Diamond
Learn about the main factors to consider when choosing the perfect diamond, from cut and color to purity and weight in carats.
"Our advanced technology ensures that the grown Diamondist diamonds are of the highest quality. Each diamond meets the international standards of 4 C, which we will discuss below."
A detailed guide to choosing a diamond
Choosing the perfect diamond can be a fascinating process if you know what to look for. The main criteria for evaluating diamonds are called "4 C":
Knowledge of these characteristics will help you choose a diamond that combines beauty, quality and your preferences.
- Cut (Cut)
- Color (Color)
- Purity (Clarity)
- Weight in carats (Carat Weight)
Knowledge of these characteristics will help you choose a diamond that combines beauty, quality and your preferences.
Cut
Diamond cut
The cut of a diamond determines its shine, how its faces interact with light and sparkle. The cut does not refer to the shape of a diamond, but indicates how perfectly the stone was cut into its shape. The better the symmetry, proportions and polishing of the diamond, the higher its cut rating.
Quality of Diamonist cut
Each Diamondist diamond has a "Very Good" rating or higher, which guarantees exceptional radiance and play of light. Our production process allows you to grow stones to the optimal size and shape for cutting, which maximizes the shine of each stone.
Tip: Choose Very Good or Excellent cut diamonds, as this guarantees maximum light reflection and beauty of the stone.

Color
Colored diamonds, unlike traditional colorless ones, are evaluated not according to the standard D-Z scale, but by color saturation and uniformity. Colored diamonds are extremely rare in nature, and their cost depends on the intensity and uniqueness of the shade. In laboratory-growned diamonds, thanks to modern technologies, you can reproduce unique colors that are difficult to find in natural conditions.
Color parameters of colored diamonds:
For colorless diamonds, the assessment is made on a scale from D to Z, where D means a completely colorless stone, and Z means a diamond with a noticeable yellow or brown tint.
Color parameters of colored diamonds:
- Shade (Hue): The main color of the diamond, which can be pink, blue, yellow, green and others. For colored diamonds, the shade plays an important role in assessing its uniqueness and attractiveness.
- Saturation: Determines the intensity of the main color of the diamond. High color saturation makes the diamond more valuable, as bright and saturated shades are rare.
- Tone: Determines how light or dark the color of the diamond is. Lighter and medium tones are valued higher, as they better reveal the brightness and depth of color.
For colorless diamonds, the assessment is made on a scale from D to Z, where D means a completely colorless stone, and Z means a diamond with a noticeable yellow or brown tint.
Clarity
Purity determines how there are no internal (inclusions) and external (defects) characteristics in the diamond. Purity assessment is carried out by increasing 10 times, and the best diamonds contain practically no inclusions.
Diamond purity assessment from Diamonist
We are proud to offer the opportunity to create a diamond of any purity that perfectly meets the wishes of our customers. Whether it's VVS1/VVS2 diamonds (Very Very Slightly Included) or a more affordable option with small inclusions, our technologies allow you to accurately control every stage of the process, ensuring that you get a stone that meets your standards and preferences.
Tip: For the perfect balance between purity and price, choose VS1 or VS2 diamonds. The inclusions will be minimal and almost invisible.
- FL (Flawless): Flawless diamond.
- IF (Internally Flawless): No internal defects.
- VVS1/VVS2 (Very Very Slightly Included): Very minor inclusions.
- VS1/VS2 (Very Slightly Included): Small inclusions that are difficult to notice with the naked eye.
- SI1/SI2 (Slightly Included): Visible when the inclusion is increased, but not very noticeable.
- I1/I2/I3 (Included): Defects visible to the naked eye.

Carat Weight
The carat indicates the weight of the diamond, not its size. This means that the weight of the carat may look different depending on the shape of the diamond. The weight of the carat itself is not an indicator of the overall quality of the stone.
A diamond can have a lot of weight, but at the same time a weak shine or brightness if its cut, purity and color are not at a high level.

Our high-tech diamonds grown in modern production are superior to natural diamonds
They have absolute purity, as the production process excludes inclusions and defects characteristic of natural crystals.
We create unique colored diamonds, which are a real rarity and difficult to mine in nature.
In addition, we control each stage of production, which allows us to achieve perfect symmetry and cut, making our diamonds even more shiny and attractive. That is why, at Diamonist, we do not certify each stone individually, as we consider it unnecessary. One of the main advantages of laboratory-growned diamonds is the ability to consistently create high-quality stones. Therefore, we guarantee that all our stones meet the highest standards. If you need a certificate, just tell us about it.
