Diamond Polish
Polish refers to the smoothness of a diamond’s facets. High-quality polish allows light to pass through the diamond with minimal distortion, enhancing brilliance. Polish grades range from Excellent to Poor, with Excellent or Very Good being ideal. Poor polish can create surface blemishes that affect a diamond’s sparkle. Choosing a diamond with high polish ensures maximum light reflection and visual appeal.
Does Polish Impact A Diamond?
While diamond polish does influence a diamond’s beauty and brilliance, its impact may not be as significant as commonly perceived. Other factors such as cut, clarity, and colour also play crucial roles in determining a diamond’s overall appearance and sparkle.
Diamond Polish Grading Scale
Diamond polish grades assess the smoothness of each facet. This is evaluated by a gemologist using magnification. For optimal quality, we suggest diamonds with Excellent, Very Good, or Good polish grades. Lower grades like Fair and Poor may result in less light reflection, leading to a dull appearance.
