Carat

The unit of measurement for diamonds is carat, a precious measure that equates to 200 milligrams. In the world of diamonds, precision is everything, and measurements are taken to the hundredth decimal place to ensure absolute accuracy.

As the size of the diamond and carat weight increases, the diamonds are considered more rare and expensive due to their relative scarcity in the market. Additionally, the process of mining and sourcing larger diamonds is much more challenging and the process of cutting and polishing requires a higher level of expertise and skill. Hence, larger diamonds with higher carat weight are more valuable and sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

At Kantilal Chhotalal, we understand that the size of a diamond holds great significance and value to our clients, and we take pride in providing them with the best of both worlds - a diamond of the highest carat weight and dimensions that fits perfectly within their budget.

Clarity

Diamond clarity is a reflection of its rare purity. This measure determines the number, size, position, and colour of inclusions within the stone, which can impact the way light reflects and refracts. These internal imperfections are often microscopic, making them invisible to the naked eye.

Each diamond is evaluated under a 10-power magnification to assess any inclusions that may appear as small crystals, feathers, or clouds. The fewer the inclusions, the higher the clarity grade, ranging from the extremely rare Flawless to Included. The higher the clarity grade, the fewer the visible inclusions and blemishes in the diamond, making it more valuable and rare.

At KC, we take immense pride in our expertise in finding diamonds with the fewest visible inclusions, ensuring that each stone shines with unrivalled brilliance. Our team recognizes that each diamond is unique, and our deep knowledge and experience in the industry enable us to handpick only the most exceptional stones for our valued clients.

Colour

Colour refers to the natural tint visible in diamond. White diamonds occur in a variety of shades, from truly colourless, which is very rare, to warm whites with hints of yellow.

D colour is the most rare and valuable; exhibiting no colour whatsoever, appearing completely colourless and allowing the maximum amount of light to pass through, resulting in unparalleled brilliance. As the colour grade moves down the scale towards Z, the amount of visible colour in the diamond increases, causing it to appear less bright.

At KC, we recognize that each client has their own unique tastes and preferences when it comes to diamond colour. We carry a wide range of diamonds, including those with warm white tones, icy whites, and even fancy coloured diamonds. By offering a diverse selection of diamonds, we ensure that our clients can find a stone that not only meets their needs but also captures the essence of their individuality.

Cut

The cut of a diamond is the key to unlocking its true magnificence, for it is the cut that enhances its sparkle, luminosity, and overall radiance. The facets, depth, symmetry, proportion, and polish all play a vital role in determining the quality of a diamond's cut.

Graded on a scale from Excellent to Poor, the cut is what fully unlocks a diamond’s potential. An expertly cut diamond with perfectly symmetrical and aligned facets will maximise sparkle.

At KC, we believe that a diamond's cut is an essential aspect that can truly elevate its beauty. Hence, we primarily stock diamonds with an excellent cut, which ensures that they exude the most radiance and sparkle possible. We take great pride in our ability to cater to a wide range of individual preferences, so you can be confident that we will help you find the perfect diamond that captures the essence of your distinct personality and style.
