What type of quality are the diamonds?
The diamonds used in our men’s earrings are wide-faced faceted diamonds of H color and SI-1 clarity. H Color – diamonds are ‘near colorless’. Color in a diamond can be visibly seen as a yellowish hue in stones of a poor grade and lessen the refractive properties of the diamond reducing the sparkle or ‘fire’ of the diamond. The color scale for diamonds ranges from D (indicating complete colorlessness) to Z (which indicates a distinct yellow-brown or grayish cast). SI-1 Clarity – Clarity refers to the inclusions present in a diamond (i.e. scratches, trace minerals or other characteristics that take away from the beauty of the stone). The higher the Clarity grade, the more clear and valuable the diamond. For diamonds in jewelry, grades F through SI inclusions (internal flaws) are NOT visible to the naked eye. The grade “SI” refers to “Slightly Included” or “Slightly Imperfect”. An SI1 grade is slightly better than an SI2 grade. Inclusions can be seen under magnification and may be visible
