Carat
Carat is the measure of the diamond’s weight and influences the size of the diamond. Typically, the higher the carat weight, the higher the price range of the diamond.
Clarity
Clarity is the extent to which a diamond is free from imperfections, also referred to as inclusions.
Cut
Not to be confused with shape, the cut is what ultimately determines the brilliance of the diamond. The more refined the cut, the more the diamond sparkles.
Colour
There are 2 types of diamonds: colorless and fancy colored. Colorless diamonds range from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). Birks carries Dto J coloured diamonds, a testament to our quality.
