At Fabergé, every diamond tells a story of luxury, craftsmanship and timeless beauty. Our diamonds are carefully selected and undergo a meticulous diamond grading process to ensure each gemstone meets the highest standards of quality. From cut and colour to clarity and carat, every detail contributes to the creation of exquisite fine jewellery that reflects the Maison’s imperial legacy.

 

The 4Cs of Diamonds: Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat

Understanding the 4Cs of diamonds is essential to appreciating a gemstone’s rarity and value. These four characteristics - cut, colour, clarity, and carat - work together to define every luxury diamond.

 

Cut: Key to a Diamond’s Brilliance

A diamond’s cut determines how it interacts with light and reveals its full brilliance. While a diamond’s shape defines its geometry, the cut controls its sparkle, fire and scintillation. Expert craftsmanship is essential to maximise the beauty of the stone, enhancing both colour and clarity for a mesmerising finish.

Colour: The Palette of Pure Light

The colour of a diamond is graded from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow). The closer to colourless, the rarer and more valuable the diamond. Beyond the standard scale, naturally coloured diamonds are highly prized for their exceptional beauty.
Alongside clarity, colour forms part of a diamond’s “passport,” reflecting the intrinsic quality and rarity of each gem.

Clarity: The Diamond’s Unique Signature

Clarity measures the presence of natural inclusions and imperfections within a diamond. Each stone is evaluated for visual purity and brilliance. Diamonds with fewer inclusions are rarer, more luminous and highly sought after in high jewellery.

Carat: Weight and Presence

Carat refers to a diamond’s weight, which may not directly correspond to visual size. Two diamonds of equal carat weight can appear different depending on the cut. At Fabergé, each diamond’s carat is balanced with its cut and clarity to ensure maximum visual impact and elegance.
