Diamond Shapes, Sizes and Specifications
Discuss Diamond Shapes, Sizes and Specifications
Carat weight alone does not determine whether a diamond is suitable for a particular piece of jewellery. Measurements, proportions, outline, colour, clarity and overall visual performance must also be considered.
Two diamonds with the same stated carat weight can have different dimensions and face-up appearances. This is particularly important when sourcing elongated shapes, matched earrings, coordinated side stones or calibrated diamonds for repeat production.
Clear specifications help reduce unsuitable options and make the sourcing conversation more commercially useful.
