We are committed to offering only natural diamonds. We believe that the beauty of a natural diamond, formed over time by nature, is a true treasure that deserves to be cherished on your special occasion. Lester Lampert is proud to be a Natural Diamond Council Official Partner and to offer you the finest in Natural Diamonds, Gemstones, and Craftsmanship.
Almost all diamond cuts fall into a shape category. The most popular shapes are round, princess, oval, marquise, pear, cushion, emerald, asscher, radiant, and heart.
Each shape offers a distinct set of recognizable differences that determine cost, quality, and overall brilliance and appeal.
Fine proportions, symmetry, and polish optimize a diamond's interaction with light. A diamond's beauty is made up of three attributes: brightness, fire, and scintillation.
A diamond's inner beauty is revealed via a skilled cutter. The better the cut, the more brightness, fire, and scintillation a diamond will have.
Most diamonds used in fine jewelry are colorless or nearly colorless. The grade of a diamond's color is determined by comparing that diamond to a master set. The color scale starts at D (completely colorless) and ends at Z (usually yellow, but can also be brown or gray).
Some diamonds have a phenomenon called fluorescence, which is not a factor in the grade but can influence the visible beauty of a diamond.
Because diamonds form under tremendous heat and pressure, it is extremely rare to find a diamond that lacks any internal or external characteristics.
These characteristics are often called inclusions and can play a role in the diamond's brilliance and beauty. Diamonds with fewer inclusions are more rare than those with more inclusions.
This is the physical weight of a diamond and is determined by placing it on a scale. One carat is divided into 100 points—similar to pennies in a dollar.
For example, a diamond that is 1-3/4 of a carat would be written as 1.75cts. The more a diamond weighs—everything else being equal—the rarer and more valuable it will be.
