GIA Diamond Evaluation Criteria

The GIA Gemological Institute of America pioneered the diamond grading system, called the 4C standard, which unified the global grading criteria for diamond quality and became the recognized identification standard in the industry today ; it also allows consumers to accurately understand the quality and characteristics of the diamonds they choose, and its significance. major. The 4C standards include: Carat weight, Clarity , Color, and Cut . Today, the 4C standards have been widely used in diamond quality certification processes around the world.

1.Carat weight•Carat is the unit of weight of diamond.

•A tool for measuring diamond weight, carob seed → mechanical chain scale → electronic carat scale. •One carat = 100 points = 0.2 grams •The weight of a diamond is recorded to the second decimal place below one carat, and the third decimal place and below are not counted, unless the third decimal place is 0.009, then it can be rounded up to 0.01. •Diamond sieves usually use a measuring tape for each disc as the approximate size, and the diameter of each small hole represents each weight of diamond.

2. Clarity • The classification of clarity grades is based on observation under ten times magnification.

•The clarity of a diamond is its purity and transparency. Clarity characteristics are called inclusions on the inside and gaps on the outside. Factors such as the size, number, location, nature, and conspicuity of features determine the clarity grade. •Although most diamonds contain very fine inclusions, these inclusions do not affect the beauty of the diamond itself. However, the fewer and smaller the inclusions, the greater the impact on the penetration of light into the diamond. The lower it is, the more beautiful the diamond will shine.
