What is a certified diamond?

A certified diamond is a diamond that is graded by an independent third party and not graded or certified by the jewelry store or company that you bought the diamond from. The Certificate does not have a value placed on the diamond. A natural diamond certificate details the different aspects of the diamond such as how much it weighs called the carat weight, the color of the diamond, how clear the diamond is from inclusions and how well the diamond was cut by the cutter usually detailing the proportions of that particular diamond. The diamond certificate gives the average consumer away to help them understand the natural diamond that they are looking at.

Does it matter who certifies the natural diamond?

The answer is yes. Natural diamond grading companies each have their own standards at which they will grade their natural diamonds. Some are very strict with higher standards than other grading companies. you might see a diamond on a website that has the same grading characteristics of another but has two different prices. It is possible that the two diamonds are graded from two different companies that applied two different standards at which they graded those natural diamonds.

How do I know if the natural diamond is properly graded?

This answer is more complex. Some of this is going to come down to what you're expecting to see out of your diamond. Regardless of how it's graded, if you don't like the way the diamond looks then you should move on to another diamond. It did not matter if the Grading Company was strict or not. At Aura Diamonds, we will teach our customers how to examine a diamond. We will present each Diamond one at a time allowing you to use a professional Diamond Loupe, not a microscope. Using a professional Diamond Loupe gives you the control of how you look at the diamond. You will be able to judge the natural diamonds’s color and clarity at 10 times magnification. Viewing the diamond this way allows you to have peace of mind that the diamond you're looking at is the quality you want regardless of who certified that particular natural diamond.

I have heard of GIA. Are they the best?

When you purchase a diamond from a jewelry store they will usually use a Four Cs grading system that was first coined in the 1940s by Robert Shipley of GIA to help his students remember Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight. Today, GIA is one of the leaders in diamond education. Apart from that, many will agree, GIA Is the most consistent and strict grading system for natural loose diamonds. You should still inspect each and every loose natural diamond even if it is graded by GIA. At Aura Diamonds, we want our customers to trust but verify, for their own peace of mind, that they are getting a quality natural diamond.

Are some diamond shapes more expensive than others?

Diamond prices can be reflected by supply and demand. The round natural diamond is generally the most popular can may be 20% more expensive than the other fancy shape diamonds. The round natural diamond is the most brilliant of the shapes that we use in jewelry. The round diamond is used the most out of any shape in jewelry. For example, you will find the natural round diamond in most diamond tennis bracelets, diamond tennis necklaces, and diamond earring studs.

Some diamonds might be more expensive because of low Supply at the moment. When the oval natural diamond became popular about 8 to10 years ago, the industry’s on-hand supply was pretty low because we cut many of our oval diamonds into popular cushion cuts. Sometimes the price of a natural diamond can be higher because the current supply is low in a particular carat weight and quality.

When Diamond Cutters are cutting diamonds from a rough the goal is to cut as large or as many quality diamonds that we can from that particular piece of rough diamond. We can only cut a large diamond as that rough will allow, making larger higher quality diamonds much more expensive.

What is most popular shape diamond?

Worldwide the most popular shape is the round diamond followed by the oval, pear shape and then the radiant shape diamond. As of writing this today, at Aura Diamonds, Radiant shaped natural diamonds are selling more than the other fancy shape diamonds. The Marquise shaped diamond is growing in popularity. Consumers are looking for longer shaped diamonds. The marquise diamond has not been popular since the 1990s and has made a huge comeback in demand but the supply is trying to catch up resulting higher prices in natural diamonds.
