Quality characteristics of a diamond
Each diamond is unique. There are a number of Characteristics by which a stone is assessed and evaluated.

In order to finally assess the individual quality of the individual stone and a reasonable price, however, further measurement values are necessary.
Carat – weight
Carat is the English spelling of the word Karat. One carat equals the average weight of a dried seed of the carob tree, namely 0.2 grams.
With excellent proportions, a one-carat (the “classic” engagement ring diamond) has a diameter of 6.5 millimeters and weighs just 0.2 grams. With increasing size the value of a diamond increases disproportionately.
Clarity – Purity
The clarity of a diamond is determined according to how many and what inclusions under 10 times magnification can be seen. Diamonds without any Inclusions are extremely rare, hence the price the higher the fewer inclusions a diamond has.
