Know Your Diamond

Diamonds are more than just sparkle — they carry emotion, value, and legacy. But choosing the right one can be confusing with so many terms like “VVS1,” “Triple Excellent,” or “GIA Certified.” At Coimbatore Jewellery, we believe in making things clear, not complex. Here's everything you need to know before you buy a diamond.

Understanding the 4Cs of Diamonds:
Every diamond is graded based on the 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat.

• Cut: Not shape — this means how well the diamond reflects light. Excellent cut diamonds sparkle the most.
• Colour: Graded from D (colorless) to Z (yellowish). D-F are premium, but G-H also look great and offer better value.
• Clarity: Refers to how clean the diamond is. F (Flawless), VVS (Very Very Slight), VS (Very Slight), SI (Slight Inclusions). SI is visible under magnification, but not always to the eye.
• Carat: Weight of the diamond. Bigger isn’t always better — balance all 4Cs for best value.

A good jeweller will help you balance these, not just sell you the biggest or costliest one.

Diamond Certification:
Always ask for a certification. We provide internationally recognized grading reports from labs like GIA, IGI, or SGL. These certificates guarantee your diamond’s specs and protect your investment.

A certified diamond means you can compare quality easily, insure the item, or even resell confidently in future.

Natural vs Lab-Grown Diamonds:
Lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds — same composition, same sparkle — just made in a lab, not underground. They are more affordable and environmentally friendly.

At Coimbatore Jewellery, we educate you on both options. Whether you're buying for investment, bridal, or fashion, we help you make the right call — with no pressure.

Diamond Price Breakdown:
Diamond pricing depends on 4Cs + certification + setting. We provide complete price breakdowns so you understand what you’re paying for:

• Loose diamond value (based on grade)
• Certification cost (if applicable)
• Gold setting (18K/14K – shown separately)
• Making charge and GST

We don’t bundle prices or hide charges. You’ll always know the value of each part.

Pro Tips Before Buying a Diamond:
- Always compare 2-3 pieces under natural lighting - Ask for a loop or magnifier to check clarity - Ask for certificate and cross-verify with QR or serial number - Focus on sparkle, not just size - Know your budget and find a balance across the 4Cs

At Coimbatore Jewellery, we treat every diamond purchase like it’s for our own family. Whether it’s your first diamond or your fiftieth, we’ll guide you with honesty, clarity, and care — because for us, trust always shines brighter than any stone.
