This diamond is in the upper range of near-colourless. The only way to see a very slight tint of colour is when it is compared directly to a higher colour grade by an expert grader. G colour diamonds will appear dazzling bright white in the setting and represent an excellent balance of higher colour and great value, as the price, depending on other quality factors, will be less than that of a D, E, or F colour diamond. | | This diamond has a clarity grade of slightly included to the second degree. Diamonds with an SI2 clarity grade have small inclusions such as pinpoints, included crystals, knots, clouds, and feathers that can be seen somewhat easily under power 10 magnification. Inclusions in diamonds with SI1 grade clarity might be visible to the unaided eye. Diamonds with this grade offer an excellent value compared with SI1 or VS2 quality diamonds. | | This diamond is cut to exacting proportions that reflect almost as much light entering it as an Ideal cut. Diamonds with a Very Good cut grade represent a brilliant diamond at a lower price than a diamond with an Ideal cut grade. This cut represents the best balance between quality and cost. |
As a pure metal, platinum is silvery-white in appearance, lustrous, ductile, and malleable. Platinum is used in jewellery in almost its pure form (95% pure). Platinum is extremely long wearing and is very white, so it does not need to be rhodium plated like white gold as it won’t wear away. It’s also the strongest jewellery metal and is resistant to damage. | | The prong setting, also known as claw setting, is the simplest and most common type of setting, largely because it uses the least amount of metal to hold the stone, thus showing it off to its best advantage. It has thin strips of metal which lift the diamond up, allowing the facets of the gemstone to catch light. Stones set in prongs are usually easier to clean. | | |
