Knowing More about “D Flawless Diamonds”

A diamond is selected very carefully. When you are buying them, you pay attention to each and every detail of the diamond. It applies to the trade of both loose and set diamonds. You evaluate the diamond against all the four Cs: Clarity, Color, Cut, and Carat (weight). These factors determine not only determine the cost of the diamond but also the type of diamond: good, bad, or medium.

Color and clarity play an important role in the definition of a good diamond. Very rare does it happen that you get both the best possible color with the maximum possible clarity. Such diamonds are referred to as D Flawless diamonds. Apart from being Flawless, they also have to maintain the cuts and carats to be the best diamond. D Flawless also contains great polish and symmetry to make it one of the best diamonds in the world.

D Flawless diamonds undergo all sorts of tests in a lab before they are declared Flawless. The gemologists working on the diamond issue a certificate that contains all the details of the diamond. You need not look further as the certificate is issued by licensed gemologists who adhere to the US diamond standards.

The Flawless are further classified on the basis of the color the diamond holds. A diamond above the J grade is whiter though there are many shades of the white color. Diamonds with a yellowish touch fall lower than the category J. The categorization goes down with the impurity in the white color, which is represented by alphabets that are higher than J, such as K, L, and M and so on.

If you are buying a loose diamond, then it is better to view it on a piece of folded card. You will be looking for the shades of the white on the edges. Jewelers also keep sample stones that help you notice the difference. It is recommended to take someone having knowledge in the diamonds with you until you learn the tricks of identifying the best diamonds. D Flawless colors are the best by far in offering good shades of white.

D Flawless diamonds are also checked for any kind of impurity that may block the proper refraction of the light rays inside the diamond. There may be some empty space or some other element inside that obstructs the path of light. This results in less radiance. D Flawless diamonds are certified only after the gemologist is satisfied that there is no such impurity in the diamond.
