The color and clarity of a diamond are two key factors to consider when choosing your perfect engagement ring.
Diamond clarity is the term used to measure naturally occurring ‘inclusions’ or tiny blemishes seen within a diamond at ten times magnification. This is measured on a diamond clarity scale which ranges from ‘Flawless’ to ‘Included’. Within this range, De Beers Forevermark diamonds are only available between Flawless (FL) and Very Slightly Included (VS).Read more.
The natural color of a diamond is one of the standard 4Cs of diamond quality. White diamonds are available in colors ranging from D – Z, with D diamonds having no hue and displaying the greatest brilliance. Within this range, De Beers Forevermark diamonds are only available between D and L colors. Interestingly, color becomes more important as carat weight increases, simply because it is easier to detect in a larger diamond.Read more.
Fancy colored diamonds manifest in a range of tones including green, blue, yellow, orange, pink and red. Red diamonds are the rarest, with only around 20 to 30 true red diamonds known to be in existence.
