Diamond guide and info

 

Everything you need to know about how to choose the right diamond for you:

Welcome to JB Antwerp's world of diamonds.

As you embark on your journey to select the perfect diamond, it's essential to understand the 4Cs, which are Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity. Each element contributes to the allure and value of a diamond, guiding you to a choice that is uniquely yours.

 

 

Carat

Carat is an essential metric that denotes both the weight and size of a diamond. While it plays a significant role in the diamond’s visual appeal, it also determines its market value.

(It is important to recognise that carat weight alone does not define a diamond's overall beauty or quality.)

At JB Antwerp, you could always find the carat weight displayed in every product description on our website, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the diamond and its size.

       

 

 

Color

Diamonds showcase a captivating range of colours, usually it is common in the diamond-world that the more colourless the diamond is, the more desirable it is. Diamonds colours are rated by letters, starting from 'D' (colourless) to 'Z' (light yellow or brown). 

The closer the color is to 'D' (colourless), the less undesirable color the diamond has.

 

At JB Antwerp, We offer a wide range of diamond colours, most ranging between D to F. ensuring unparalleled brilliance and visual satisfaction from our clients.             

 

 

Cut

The cut of a diamond is extremely important. It is fundamental in amplifying a diamond's brilliance and sparkle. Factors such as symmetry, proportions, and polish reflect remarkable craftsmanship. 

At JB Antwerp, we highly recommend you to choose the clarity of the diamond with care, seeing as it is one of the more important factors when it comes to the diamond's visual traits.

We offer a large variety of diamonds with certificates graded by the leading diamond certifying companies in the world, which include GIA, HRD, and IGI.

 

 

Clarity 

Clarity reflects a diamond's purity, gauging its freedom from inclusions and surface blemishes that could detract from its beauty and value. Ranging from FL (flawless) to I3 (included Level 3), diamonds with higher clarity grades are more sought after. 

At JB Antwerp, we consistently offer diamonds recognised for their excellence, achieving clarity ratings with a range between VVS1 and SI1.
