2.25 Carat Round Brilliant Diamond

Carat Weight: 2.25 ct.

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: VVS2

Inclusions are difficult for a skilled grader to see under 10x magnification. VVS1 inclusions are typically only visible from the pavilion, while VVS2 inclusions are visible from the crown. In each, the inclusions are invisible to the eye, appearing identical to the higher grades unless viewed under 10x magnification by a skilled grader.

Color Grade: G

Diamonds with color grading G, H, I, J in the GIA scale are near colorless diamonds. G-H diamonds contains only minor traces of color almost invisible to an untrained eye. I-J diamonds contain slightly detectable color to the naked eye. The near-colorless diamonds are the most commonly available colorless diamonds in the market.
