 ¿Qué son las 4 C del diamante?

Title:
Las 4 C internacionalmente reconocidas son la referencia en el mundo de los diamantes y permiten establecer la calidad y el valor de cada piedra según su color, talla, peso y pureza. Los diamantes creados en laboratorio de las colecciones Swarovski Created Diamonds se han sometido a las 4 C por el Instituto Gemológico Internacional (IGI). Los diamantes creados en laboratorio de estas colecciones son de la máxima calidad: G+ en color y VS+ en pureza.

¿Qué es la pureza del diamante?

La pureza del diamante es una medida de pureza de la piedra que se categoriza por la visibilidad de dos características: inclusiones e imperfecciones. Para valorar la pureza, el diamante se revisa bajo un aumento de 10x. El número y la naturaleza de las características externas (imperfecciones) e internas (inclusiones), así como su medida y la posición, determinan la calificación de la pureza.

Principios y factores de la pureza

La pureza de un diamante creado en laboratorio se establece por sus defectos, que son las inclusiones e imperfecciones que le dan su carácter y encanto único. Más abajo, descubre más sobre la pureza del diamante.

INTERNALLY FLAWLESS

The highest possible clarity of diamond is an internally flawless (I.F.) stone. These are incredibly rare and most mined and laboratory grown stones have inclusions.

To The Naked Eye

While almost all diamonds are flawed, those graded between I.F. and SI 2 have inclusions that aren’t visible to the naked eye, only under magnification.

Types of Inclusion

The different types of diamond inclusion include feather, pinpoint, cloud, and metallic. Metallic inclusions are only found in lab created diamonds.

A TRICK OF THE LIGHT

Inclusions and blemishes can have an impact on the way a diamond reflects and absorbs the light.

Diamond clarity scale and grades

Subtitle:
The diamond clarity scale runs from I.F. to I 3 and is based on the number of inclusions and blemishes found in each stone. Diamond clarity grades are determined under standard viewing conditions with 10x magnification; I.F. is used to represent an internally flawless diamond, while at the other end of the diamond clarity chart, I 3 stands for the inclusion of a visible blemish. Truly flawless diamonds are extremely rare – almost all stones, including laboratory grown diamonds, have inclusions of some kind or other.
diamond cut chart and symmetry

What is diamond cut?

Cut refers to how a diamond’s facets interact with light to reveal its internal fire. It is the cut that gives each stone its personality, and perfecting the proportions, symmetry, and precision-cut angles of lab made diamonds gives them their brilliant shine.

Cut Principles and Factors

Title:

The quality of how a lab grown diamond is cut is based on its proportions, symmetry, and polish. An expert cut creates a multitude of facets, absorbing and reflecting the light so the stone shimmers from every angle.

MAXIMUM BRILLIANCE

A diamond cut shape that is perfectly symmetrical with aligned facets will reflect the light at the highest possible intensity, emitting a powerful shine.

DIAMOND CUT CHART

Diamond cuts are graded by the IGI on a scale of Excellent to Poor. An excellent cut requires technical mastery, artistry, and expertise.

EVERY FACET

Facet is the term used to describe each flat surface that makes up the surface of a diamond, each absorbing and dispersing the light differently.

THE BEST CUT

While proportion, symmetry, and polish determine a diamond’s place on the diamond cut table, there is no best cut when it comes to a stone that sparks joy.

Diamond color scale and chart

Diamond coloring is rated on a scale from D to Z, with D clear ice white with no hint of yellow, while those rated Z are shades of yellow and brown. Each letter range on the chart denotes a shade of stone, with those rated D to F appearing colorless, through to S to Z appearing in shades of light yellow or  brown. Swarovski only accepts the finest lab grown diamonds in its collections, meaning they range from colorless to nearly colorless diamonds (D-G).

Color Principles and Factors

Title:
Colorless stones are the most desirable in the world of diamonds and they are extremely rare. Swarovski Created Diamonds are evaluated against the standardized diamond color scale.

COLORLESS DIAMONDS

Truly colorless diamonds are extremely rare. Also known as ice white, D diamonds are also the most expensive diamond color to buy.

FIND YOUR SHADE

Finding a D diamond color isn’t always important when selecting your stone. A warm white might suit your individual style more than an ice white.

CONTROLLED ASSESSMENT

Each diamond’s color grade is assessed in a laboratory using controlled lighting, with the stone faced down, and with master samples used for comparison.

BLEMISHES

 Laboratory grown diamonds do not include any intentional blemishes or the color defects that can come from the use of poorer quality carbon seeds.

What is diamond carat weight?

A carat is a unit of weight used specifically to measure precious stones including laboratory grown diamonds. A diamond may have a higher carat weight without appearing larger, and two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. One carat weighs 1/5 of a gram and is divided into 100 points.

Diamond Carat Weight

Title:

Lab Grown Diamond Carat Scale

Subtitle:
The carat measurement is derived by the word ‘carob’, a seed that was used as a diamond weight reference for traders in the ancient world. Carats are an international standard unit of measurement for the weight of a diamond. One carat is equal to 200 milligrams, so a 5 carat diamond will weigh one gram. The diamond carat does not refer to the size of a stone, simply how much it weighs. Diamonds usually become more expensive as their carat increases.

Frequently asked questions

Diamond 4Cs FAQs

What are the 4Cs?

Aucun diamant ne ressemble à un autre. Chaque pierre possède ses caractéristiques propres. Tout comme les diamants naturels, nos diamants créés en laboratoire sont évalués selon quatre critères appelés 4C. Reconnus dans le monde entier par l’industrie diamantaire, ces 4C interviennent dans le contrôle qualité du diamant et se réfèrent à la taille (cut), la clarté (clarity), la couleur (color) et le caratage (carat).

La clarté du diamant est-elle importante ?

Plus le degré de clarté est élevé, plus le diamant aura de la valeur, car il contiendra moins d’inclusions et d’imperfections.

Quel est le degré de clarté le plus élevé du diamant ?

La clarté dépend de la pureté de la pierre qui, elle-même, repose sur deux critères visuels : les inclusions et les imperfections. 
Afin d’évaluer sa clarté, le diamant est inspecté à l’aide d’une loupe de grossissement 10x. Le nombre et la nature des éléments externes (imperfections) et internes (inclusions), ainsi que leur taille et leur position déterminent le degré de clarté. 
Les pierres sont classées par les gemmologues de la meilleure note, IF (sans défaut interne), à la moins bonne, I3 (Inclusions).

Les diamants de laboratoire sont-ils sans défaut ?

Non, presque tous les diamants (extraits ou créés en laboratoire) contiennent des inclusions. Les inclusions métalliques ne concernent que les diamants de laboratoire. Si une trace de métal est détectée, on peut ainsi supposer qu’il s’agit d’un diamant de laboratoire. Bien que les diamants créés en laboratoire possèdent des défauts, Swarovski n’utilise que les pierres de la plus haute qualité dans ses collections Swarovski Created Diamond, certifiées par l’IGI (International Gemological Institute) et les 4C.

Les diamants de laboratoire peuvent-ils perdre leur éclat ?

Non, les diamants de laboratoire ne perdent rien de leur éclat avec le temps. Strictement identiques aux diamants naturels, ils sont dotés des mêmes caractéristiques physiques et chimiques. Leur apparence ne s’altère pas avec le temps. Lorsque le grain de carbone utilisé est de qualité inférieure, certains diamants peuvent contenir des défauts apparents, comme des problèmes de tonalités, des impuretés ou des altérations. Les bijoux Swarovski Created Diamonds ne contiennent aucun diamant aux défauts artificiels.

Comment se passe la certification et l’évaluation des diamants créés en laboratoire ?

Les diamants de laboratoire servant à la création des bijoux Swarovski Created Diamonds sont sélectionnés à la main et examinés par des experts gemmologues qui s’assurent de leur conformité aux normes de la plus haute qualité.  Chaque pièce des collections Galaxy et Eternity est accompagnée d’un certificat numérique émis par l’IGI (International Gemological Institute). 

Qu’appelle-t-on facette du diamant ?

Les facettes représentent les surfaces planes qui créent la forme du diamant. Chacun se dote de multiples facettes capables d’absorber et de refléter la lumière.

De quelle manière définit-on la qualité de la taille ?

Lorsqu’on parle de taille, on pense souvent à la silhouette de la pierre (ronde, cœur, ovale, marquise ou poire), alors qu’elle fait référence à la façon dont ses facettes interagissent avec la lumière.  En réalité, la taille correspond à la mesure de la qualité des proportions géométriques, de la forme et de la finition du diamant.  Les brillants seront notés sur une échelle allant de Idéal à Médiocre.  Swarovski ne fait aucun compromis sur la qualité de la taille pour que chaque diamant créé en laboratoire diffuse un maximum de lumière et d’éclat.

Quelle est la meilleure taille de diamant ?

La taille fait référence aux différentes manières dont les facettes interagissent avec la lumière pour révéler le feu intérieur du diamant. C’est elle qui confère au diamant sa personnalité, tandis que l’attention apportée aux proportions, à la symétrie et aux facettes de nos Swarovski Created Diamonds sublimera leur brillance. La taille parfaite offre le juste équilibre entre largeur et profondeur, pour créer une symétrie : ni trop plat, ni trop profond. L’objectif étant de créer le point de réfraction parfait pour que la lumière circule à l’intérieur du diamant et soit réfléchie tout en mettant en valeur son éclat.

Comment déterminer la couleur d’un diamant ?

Color refers to the natural tint inherent in white diamonds. The industry standard for grading color is to evaluate each diamond against a master set then assign a letter grade from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). 
The closer the diamond is to being colorless, the higher its quality.

Do laboratory created diamonds have blemishes?

Where poor quality diamond seeds have been used, some laboratory-grown diamonds contain obvious defects, such as color tinges from impurities or structural imperfections. Swarovski does not sell laboratory grown diamonds with unnatural, problematic characteristics.

What is diamond carat weight?

A carat is a unit of weight used specifically to measure precious stones including laboratory grown diamonds. A diamond may have a higher carat weight without appearing larger, and two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. One carat weighs 1/5 of a gram and is divided into 100 points.

What is the carat weight of a diamond, how is it measured and how important is it?

Carat weight it the standard weight unit for diamonds, and the first step in the grading process. Diamond carat weight is the measurement of how much the diamond weighs. Each carat can be subdivided into 100 “points.”  This allows precise measurements to the hundredth decimal place. The weight of a diamond smaller than one carat may be described by its “points” alone. The larger the diamond is, the more carats it will be, but only you can decide how important that is to you.

Is it better to have a higher carat diamond?

This is an entirely personal question. If you are looking for a larger diamond, you should look for a higher carat, as this indicates the weight and therefore the size of the diamond.
