The Grading Process Behind Our 3 Carat Round Cut Diamonds
Every 3 carat round cut diamond we offer undergoes a detailed, multi step evaluation before it ever reaches you. The process begins with expert evaluation, where each diamond is examined closely by experienced gemmologists trained to strict industry standards.
From there, every stone undergoes a thorough 4Cs assessment, carefully graded across cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight for complete accuracy. Special attention is then given to cut precision and symmetry, focusing on proportions, facet alignment, and polish, since these factors most influence brilliance and fire.
Finally, the grading is independently certified, with results verified by trusted gemmological laboratories to confirm authenticity and give you complete confidence in every purchase.
