We can also source Diamonds with specific colour and clarity grading should you desire a Diamond with alternative grading. Please contact us for custom quoting.

So you can understand the Diamond Grading parameters RUUSK works within, we've put together a guide on how we select the Clear Diamond for your very special piece so you can treasure your Diamond for a lifetime. 

 

CUT

When referring to cut, this can mean different things. Most understand the cut of a Diamond in relation to the shape of the stone and there are a range of shapes you can request a Diamond to be cut into. We predominantly work with a Round, Oval, Pear, Princess, Emerald and Radiant Brilliant Cuts.

Otherwise, Cut can also refer to the quality of the workmanship or craftsmanship that went into aligning and polishing the diamond’s facets. This can be seen on a Diamond certificates where they assess the Diamond's brilliance and sparkle. All RUUSK Diamonds are sourced by trained Diamond specialists to ensure the best quality cuts.


COLOUR

Diamonds are graded on a colour scale with the scale beginning with the letter D (we like to remember this by thinking of D for Diamonds) and ending with Z; D representing a colourless Diamond and Z, a light yellow or brown Diamond. 

All small Diamonds used in RUUSK Collection pieces are E-G in colour, or above, putting them in the colourless to near colourless white category. All Diamonds above 0.25ct are D-F or above. 

Many of these colour distinctions are so subtle as to be invisible to the untrained eye. But these slight differences make a very big difference in diamond quality and price.



CLARITY

Natural Diamonds that are formed in the Earth, as well as Laboratory Diamonds grown in a more controlled environment, can all contain internal inclusions or external blemishes. Diamond Clarity refers to the presence of these inclusions, and the Clarity grading is noting these naturally occurring characteristics within the stones.

RUUSK specifically sources Natural Clear Diamonds graded SI/VS in clarity or higher, and Laboratory Diamonds in VS/VVS or higher. 
Given this, all of our diamonds are eye-clean with only minor inclusions that can sometimes even be hard to see under 10x Magnification.

    

 

CARAT

Carat is an ancient unit used to describe the weight of gemstones; one carat is equal to 0.20 grams. And larger diamonds (those with higher ct's) are rarer than Diamonds of a smaller ct weight. 

However, taken by itself, carat weight is not the only factor that determines the value of a Diamond. So we always consider Cut, Clarity, Colour and Carat in conjunction when sourcing your very special Diamond for you. That way, we can gain a bigger picture as to the overall quality of your stone. 

 

 

DIAMOND CARE

Although Diamonds are the hardest of all gemstones, with diamonds being the hardest natural substance on earth, they are not indestructible so please take care when wearing your jewellery.
 
To look its best, Diamond jewellery should be cleaned regularly and the safest at-home method for cleaning Diamond jewellery is a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water followed by a good rinse in hot water.

Every other year, you should have your piece checked by a professional jeweller for wear or damage to ensure that your stone remains safely set.

*(The Kimberley Process was established in 2003 by the United Nations to prevent “conflict diamonds” from entering the mainstream rough diamond market. This means every Diamond purchased isn't from suspect sources, unknown suppliers or suppliers in countries that have not implemented the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme)
