These diamonds are cut to the finest proportions as determined by their face-up appearance, design, and craftsmanship. They each reflect nearly all light as fire and brilliance as determined by the GIA. The GIA certificates list their cut as Excellent, which is the equivalent of an AGSL or Blue Nile Ideal cut grade.

These diamonds are nearly colourless. Diamonds with G-colour have an extremely faint tint that is only noticeable to a trained gemmologist. G-colour diamonds make for beautiful jewellery and they offer an outstanding value, since they are less expensive than the colourless grades, but appear to the eye to be colourless when mounted.

These diamonds have few, very small inclusions. The inclusions are very difficult to see under a 10x power magnification, and are almost never visible to the unaided eye. VS2 grade diamonds present an excellent value in clarity because they are typically free of visible blemishes, and they are less expensive than higher clarity grades.
