The Diamond Quality Pyramid is a framework to help you compare diamonds. While all diamonds are precious, those to the top of the pyramid - possessing the best combination of the cut, clarity, carat weight and color-are the earth's rarest, most valuable and most beautiful to the eye.
A well-cut or faceted diamond, regardless of its shape, scintillates with fire and light -offering the greatest brilliance and value. While nature determines a diamond's clarity, weight and color, the hand of a master craftsman is necessary to release its fire, sparkle and beauty. When a diamond is cut to good proportions, light will reflect from one mirror-like facet to another and disperse through the top of the stone, resulting in a display of brilliance and fire. Diamonds that are cut too deep or too shallow lose light that spills through the side or bottom. As a result, poorly cut stones will be less brilliant and beautiful - and certainly less valuable - than well cut diamonds higher on the Diamond Quality Pyramid.
Larger diamonds are found relatively infrequently in nature, which places them at the rarest level of the Diamond Quality Pyramid. What also makes a bigger diamond so desirable is that it shows off a stone's fine color and cut, and therefore its brilliance, to its best advantage. A diamond's size is measured in carat weight, and each carat is equal to 100 points. A .75 carat diamond is the same as 75-point diamond or a 3/4 carat stone. While larger diamonds are highly prized, diamonds of equal size may vary widely in value and brilliance, depending on their qualities of clarity, cut and color.
