Cut, clarity, colour and carat. You've probably read about these terms when looking for diamonds. They set the standards by which all diamonds are judged and allow comparisons to be made between stones under high magnification.
Cut - It all starts here
Cut refers to a diamond's facet proportions and is one of the most important factors in the creation of a beautiful diamond - much more important than size. The hand of a master craftsman is required to release the fire, sparkle and beauty from within the stone. A cut of excellent facet proportions will allow the light to reflect from one mirror like facet to another and set alight the fire within the stone. Often when a rough diamond is cut for size, a lot of brilliance is lost. At HeBe, we select diamonds that are cut for beauty not size.
Colour - Key to quality
The right colour diamond - or lack of colour - can make all the difference to the perfect diamond. A scale of D to Z indicates the colour or as close to the point of colourless as possible. D is the best but anything up to G gives a brilliant white that will be appreciated. You often find high street diamonds specified as H, I or even J but in our opinion, these are not acceptable standards.
Clarity - Flawless perfection
Imperfections within a diamond are rated on an industry standard scale and a diamond is said to be flawless when no small inclusions or internal flaws are visible under 10x magnification. A flawless diamond carries a significant price and is extremely rare. The scale for clarity runs from FL (flawless) to I3 (heavily included). At HeBe we reject any diamonds above VS2 - those with inclusions that could spoil the look of your ring.
Carat - Size matters?
Biggest is not always best in the world of diamonds. The weight of a diamond is measured in carats and one carat equals 0.2 grams. Anything between 0.3 carats and 1 carat is a good choice for most ladies hands. Indeed, prices above 1 carat rise quickly and are hard to justify to all but the deepest of pockets.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU
While the 4C's are very useful for gemologists to categorize the quality of different diamonds, most people will not be able to tell the visual difference between a GVS diamond and DIF diamond. They both provide brilliant sparkle and the Wow factor to the untrained eye. Your wallet however most certainly will. At HeBe, our experts select every diamond to achieve the perfect balance between the 4C's - up and above the standards of many jewellers. We promise you a fine diamond at an affordable price to fulfill your dreams backed up by our 110% comitment to customer service. Our minimum specification on our signature range of diamond engagement rings is GVS to assure you of a great diamond sparkle.
We offer a free 1 year inspection service to check and polish your ring back to it's original condition as part of the price. All our diamonds are selected from conflict free sources and come with an independent certificate of authenticity from the best diamond labs in the world - GIA, IGL and Anchor Cert.
