Cut

When a round brilliant diamond has been cut to "ideal" proportions, it is a splendor to behold. The cut of a diamond dramatically affects its luster and sparkle. Even if the diamond has perfect color and clarity, a poor cut can make a diamond look dull. Darakjian offers only the best cut diamonds that achieve a harmonious balance between its proportions and display of brilliance.

Color

Most diamonds, although appearing colorless, actually have slight tones of yellow or brown. Diamonds with very little color are rare, and the most highly valued and brilliant. To help you choose the most brilliant diamond, Darakjian offers diamonds with the highest grades of color.

Clarity

Practically all diamonds contain naturally occurring internal characteristics called inclusions. The size, nature, locations and amount of inclusions determine the diamond's clarity grade and cost. Darakjian provides diamonds with unparalled clarity and sparkle.

Carat Weight

The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. Since larger diamonds are rarer than smaller diamonds, diamond value tends to rise exponentially with carat weight. Darakjian has specialists that can teach you how to balance diamond quality with the size of your diamond.
