Diamonds are sold by the carat (shown as ct.), which is actually a unit of weight, though most think of a carat in terms of size. The word "carat" comes from the "carob" seed, the original unit of measure for diamond traders. Today, a carat is equal to exactly 0.2 grams (about the weight of a paper clip). Carat weight is unrelated to the similar sounding karat, which refers to gold's purity.
Reference only. True diamond size may vary based on monitor size.
Clarity Grade: VS1
Inclusions are clearly visible under 10x magnification but can be characterized as minor. Inclusions are not visible to the naked eye. Perhaps 1 in 100 untrained observers can detect VS2 inclusions with the naked eye, on close inspection under ideal conditions.
The GIA uses D-to-Z color scale to determine the presence or absence of color in colorless diamonds. Diamonds graded for D, E, and F colors are colorless diamonds. D color diamonds are the highest in the color grading and display unmatched brilliance. E color diamonds contain minute traces of color and display extraordinary brilliance and sparkle. E color diamonds have minute traces of color can be detected only by a trained gemologist. High-quality colorless diamonds were once considered a rarity is now readily available thanks to lab-grown diamond technology.
