Diamonds 101: Expert Guide to Understanding Diamonds

At Punjabi Saraf, each diamond is as unique as its owner. Just like human DNA, diamonds have their own characteristics defined by cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight. No two diamonds are alike, with each facet and imperfection telling a different story. We offer natural, certified diamonds of the highest standards, ensuring authenticity and beauty in every piece.

The 4Cs of Diamonds: Your Guide to Diamond Quality

1. Diamond Cut: Maximizing Brilliance

The cut of a diamond refers to how well it reflects light. A well-cut diamond enhances its sparkle and brilliance. At Punjabi Saraf, we ensure each diamond is expertly cut for maximum beauty.

2. Diamond Clarity: The Purity of the Stone

Clarity measures imperfections within the diamond. Grades like Flawless (FL) and Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS) are highly valued. Our diamonds are certified by top institutes like GIA, IGI, and SGL, ensuring clarity and quality you can trust.

3. Diamond Colour: Grading and Elegance

A diamond’s colour ranges from colourless (Grade D) to warm tones. The more colourless, the rarer and more valuable it is. At Punjabi Saraf, we provide naturally colour-graded diamonds, certified by top international bodies for their authenticity.

4. Carat Weight: Measuring Size

Diamonds are measured in carats, with one carat equalling 100 points. Larger diamonds are more valuable, but their quality also depends on cut, colour, and clarity. At Punjabi Saraf, we provide certified diamonds of all carat weights to fit your needs.

Beyond Cut, Clarity, Colour, and Carat: The Hidden Diamond Trait

5. Diamond Fluorescence: What You Should Know

Fluorescence refers to a diamond’s glow under UV light. While rarely noticeable in everyday lighting, strong fluorescence can affect a diamond’s appearance. We carefully assess each diamond for this trait.

6. Diamond Certification: The Fifth 'C'

Certification proves the authenticity and quality of your diamond. At Punjabi Saraf, we only offer diamonds certified by trusted institutes like GIA, IGI, and SGL. Each diamond is carefully graded to ensure it meets the highest standards.
