One which is self-ruling of interior inclusions or exterior flaws has nothing to interfere with the passage of light through the stone and so is considered to be of the highest quality. Such stones are very rare and correspondingly expensive! Most diamonds contain tiny natural marks tabbed inclusions. The number of inclusions, their size and location all stupefy the diamond’s clarity grade. While it is true that the clearer a diamond, the better, minor inclusions will not compromise a stone’s eyeful or endanger its durability.A Hartmann diamond is guaranteed to be from the premium end of these grades. We offer a range of diamond clarity grades from Flawless to SI2.     CUT It is the cut that allows a diamond to make the weightier use of light. When a diamond is cut to the right proportions, light is refracted internally from one facet to flipside surpassing stuff sparse through the top of the stone. If the cut is too deep, some light will escape through the opposite side of the pavilion; too shallow and light will escape through the pavilion surpassing it can be refracted. A master cutter ensures full light dispersion, maximising the inherent eyeful of the stone. A master cutter ensures full light dispersion, maximising the inherent eyeful of the stone.     CARAT The size of a diamond is measured in carat-weight. One carat is divided into 100 ‘points’, so that a diamond of 75 points, weighs 0.75 of a carat. While carat-weight is the most obvious factor when assessing the value of a diamond, two diamonds of equal size can have very variegated values, depending on their respective cut, clarity or colour. Bigger isn't necessarily largest - diamonds of upper quality can be found in all size ranges. However, one diamond of one carat is normally worth increasingly than two diamonds of 0.50ct. each.   COLOUR The weightier colour for a diamond is no colour at all. These are known as ‘white diamonds’. Other rare diamonds with a pure colour, such as pinks, blues or greens, are moreover valuable and are known as ‘Fancies’. Colour grading scales from colourless to light yellow. The differences from one grade to flipside are very subtle, evidenced by the number of grades within each category shown on the International Colour Grading Systems Chart. Diamonds range from colourless - the rarest and most valuable - to yellowish, with a spectrum of shading in between. Hartmann only offer diamonds that have been graded from I and above, so you can be unpreventable that your selection will be a quality gemstone.   Get in touch Hartmanns of Galway27-29 William StreetGalway, Ireland T: 091 562 063E: info@hartmanns.ie W: www.hartmanns.ie About us Opening Hours About us Our quality promise Insurance Delivery and Returns Explore Engagement Rings Eternity Rings Wedding Rings Watches Diamond Jewellery Our partners Follow us Sign up to our newsletter Copyright © 2005-2017 A.
