Each Erwin Diamond is Individually Hand Selected

 CLARITY  COLOR GRADING
 The G.I.A. grading scale ranges from
Flawless (FL) to Imperfect (I1-I3). The quantity and placement of impurities when examined under 10x magnification determines each diamond's grade.
We suggest a clarity grade with absolutely no
impurities visible to the naked eye. Impurities
may adversely affect the light transmitted through a diamond.
 The G.I.A. has a grading scale ranging from
(D) colorless to (Z) yellow, with colorless being the most rare. When light enters a colorless diamond it produces the full spectrum of rainbow colors when
exiting.
For this reason we suggest a diamond ranging in
color grades from (D) colorless to (J) near colorless.
