This diamond is cut to the finest proportions as determined by its face-up appearance, design, and craftsmanship. It reflects nearly all light as fire and brilliance as determined by the GIA. The GIA certificate lists the cut as Excellent, which is the equivalent of an AGSL or Blue Nile Ideal cut grade.

This diamond, when cut to ideal proportions, produces a warm brilliancy not found in the higher grade colors. I-color diamonds are less expensive than other diamonds, so you can buy a larger diamond for the same price as a higher color grade. Note: If this diamond has medium or strong blue fluorescence, its slight tint will be partially masked, making the diamond appear whiter to the eye.

This diamond has no internal identifying characteristics, even when viewed under a microscope at extreme magnification. These diamonds are not graded flawless usually because of very slight surface markings or minor details in their polish. Diamonds of this grade of clarity are extremely rare.
