We have pioneered the development of the first scientific system used to evaluate how well a diamond has been cut. When a diamond is well cut it reflects and refracts light to the maximum degree. AGI has been acclaimed as a worldwide innovator due to our extensive research and development in determining the cut grade of diamonds. AGI are very well known for using the cutting edge equipment and our experienced and knowledgeable staffs is our biggest asset. AGI Laboratories are respected by diamond manufacturers, jewelry retailers, and consumers alike for accuracy and consistency in every aspect of diamond grading. One of the distinguishing factors that separate AGI laboratories from other diamond grading laboratories is that the mission of AGI Laboratories is to protect its consumers. Since ancient times, diamond has been an enduring symbol of integrity – flawless, indestructible and eternal. These are the very qualities that inspire Independent’s vision and mission. A passion for excellence with the dedication to achieve highest standards of professionalism and to surpass customer expectations. We believe is setting benchmarks with every passing certification. Veracity is the touchstone upon which certification rests. Hence, our area of work is restricted solely to the scientific evaluation of gemstones, based on established and globally recognized parameters. We do not participate in any commercial activity whatsoever within the gem and jewelry trade. Our core responsibility lies in providing authentic and reliable information to our clients. In the gemstone trade, that will protect them and in the long run and promote the healthy growth of the industry. ( The 4C's ) A diamond’s value is based on four main characteristics known as the “4 C’s”. Clarity, color and cut (proportion) together with the carat weight determine the value of a stone. While clarity is frequently assumed to be the most important factor of the 4 C’s, in actuality, color and cut (particularly cut) have a more profound effect on the visual appearance of a diamond. Carat A diamond’s size is indicated by its weight, and the weight is indicated in carats: one carat equals 1/5 of a gram. The word carat is often abbreviated as “ct.” If a diamond weighs less than one carat, its weight is indicated in points (1/100 of a carat). Therefore, a half-carat stone weighs 50 points, while a 75 point diamond is 3/4 of a carat. If a diamond weighs more than one carat, its weight is expressed in carats and decimals. Therefore, a 1.07 ct. stone weighs one carat and 7 points. The price of a diamond tends to jump when its carat weight crosses 50 points, 75 points or 1 carat. The price difference between a diamond that weighs 49 points and one that weighs 50 points is often greater than the price difference between one weighing 48 and 49 points. The larger a diamond, the more rare it is. Therefore, as carat weight increases, so does the price per carat. A 2-ct. stone, for example, will be more than twice that of a 1-ct. stone, assuming they are similar in cut, clarity and color. Color Diamond color is all about what you cant see. Diamonds are valued by how closely they approach colorlessness – the less color, the higher their value. (The exception to this is fancy-color diamonds, such as pinks and blues, which lie outside this color range.) It may appear that your diamond is colorless, but in fact, it probably has tinges of yellow or brown. A diamonds color refers to how noticeable its tints are. The more noticeable the color, the lower its value the less noticeable the color, the more rare it is and the higher its value. There is an exception to this rule: If your diamond has tints of a color other than yellow or brown – for example, if it is blue, purple or red – it is considered to be fancy-colored, and is graded differently. Assuming your diamond is in the yellow/brown color range, trained gemologists will grade it based on a finely calibrated scale that compares it to a master set. Clarity Because diamonds are formed deep within the earth, under extreme heat and pressure, they often contain unique birthmarks, either internal (inclusions) or external (blemishes). Like most things in life, diamonds are rarely perfect. As a diamond forms, tiny crystals may get trapped inside it, or the stone may have irregularities on its surface. Clarity refers to the relative absence of such flaws. The harder it is to see the flaws, the more rare the diamond. Gemologists will look for two kinds of flaws, or clarity characteristics, in your diamond: inclusions, which are flaws enclosed inside or primarily inside the diamond, and blemishes, which are nicks and scratches on the stones surface. If the inclusions or blemishes can be seen with the naked eye, the diamond will score the lowest on the clarity scale. Cut Cut is the factor that fuels a diamonds fire, sparkle and brilliance. An important aspect of the allure of diamonds is the way they sparkle. The sparkle is a result of how a stone is cut – its symmetry, polish, durability, and proportion of its parts – which, in turn, determines how light travels through the stone and back to your eye. Ideally, after light hits the top of a diamond, it travels through the stone and then out the top again, creating the sparkle effect. This sparkle depends on the proportions between the diamonds table size, crown angle and pavilion depth. Many combinations can achieve the same level of sparkle whats most important is how these factors work together in your particular stone to create maximum brightness. For example, if a stones pavilion is cut too shallow or too deep relative to its crown, light might seep from the side or bottom of the stone, thereby reducing the sparkle. Gemologists will study three light effects in your diamond when determining the quality of its cut: brightness, the combination of all white light reflecting from the stone fire, the diamonds colored flashes and scintillation.
