Information

Buying a diamond or gemstone can be one of the largest purchase after car and house. Choosing a right one can be difficult and confusing. Fili & Gilani help you to understand the terminology and certification.

In diamond and gemstone certification, you usually come across of four Cs - cut, clarity, color and carat weight. Below are the simplified explaination of four Cs.

The width and depth of a cut determines how light reflect, thus it also determines its brilliance. By using advance technology, the reflectiveness of diamond can be calculated. Fili & Gilani only carries ideal cut diamond in all solitaire diamond jewelry.

The less color in a diamond the higher the value of a diamond. At Fili & Gilani we only carry the finest diamonds from grade D to J. The yellowish tint in Grade G to J typically not noticeable to the unaided eye.

Fancy Color Diamonds
Although diamonds usually transparent but it also exist in colors like blue, yellow, pink, black and brown. The appearance of fancy color diamonds are very rare and the value may increase five times of the typical diamonds.

Inclusion in diamonds are practically common. Finest diamonds are inclusion-free and demand high price. Flawless or no inclusions are graded as FL-IF. While grade VVS1 to SI2 diamonds are virtually undetectable with naked eye. Certain Fili & Gilani products use grade I1 diamonds for pavè setting as the used gemstones are too small to be detected by naked eye.

Selecting the size of a diamond is the easist comparing to the rest of Cs. It is all depend on your budget. If you have budget in mind but wish to get a big size diamond, you may look into choosing lesser grade of color, clarity and cut. The size of diamonds are measured by carat weight instead of dimension.

The price of diamond hike exponentially as the weight of diamond increases. Do not mistaken that the price for 2 carat weight diamond is equal to twice of 1 carat, given the quality is equal. Large diamond is extremly rare thus, 2 carat diamond worth more than two 1 carat diamonds.

Grading process and type for precious and semi precious gemstones are slightly different from diamonds. Because colored gemstones differ according to variety, specific grading system applies to the particular gemstones. Gemstones Quick Guide will furnish you with basic information that you need during buying process.
