The Diamond Facets – A Closer Look

The anatomy of a diamond consists of different parts that include the table, crown, pavilion, girdle and culet. Undiscovering these elements will significantly guide you to grasp the gemstone’s overall beauty and brilliance through its 57 or 58 facets, but with DiamondAir™ relish the splendid craftsmanship to a maximum of 150 precise facets in the round and fancy shapes in naturally coloured & white diamonds from the expert diamantaire of the C. Krishniah Chetty Group.

The Value Factor – 4Cs

The Choicest Cut

Most gem-quality diamonds have octahedral habitat as their rough state, these crystals are often cut into round brilliants because of the possibility to cut two such stones with a single rough. Wherever possible, when a pair is required, C. Krishniah Chetty Group will strive to offer the pair of diamonds born of the same mother mineral. A one-of- kind service, possible only with a skilled cutter who considers and decides, based on its original shape of rough, the inclusions within and retains the maximum carat weight.

C. Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers have gone beyond this standard of 57 or 58 to create an amazing 150 facet  that impacts a diamond’s sparkle and light performance with no compromise, ensuring the final fashioned gem has a unique life, depth of character, and free from light obstructing natural inclusions. These numbers of facets also speak about the 150 years of the glorious years of the organisation. With the guidance of the C. Krishniah Chetty Group, gain a deeper appreciation for the precision and skill involved in crafting a well-cut diamond

The difference between the excellent and Very good.

The Appealing Colour

The Normal colour range is assigned a scale from D to Z and beyond with a prefix with Fancy. To understand its colour grade in the diamond colour grading, the purest D is colourless to the warm hues of Z with light yellow or brown. The subtle colour variations can affect the appearance and value of a diamond. All diamonds, including the DiamondAir™, undergo a systematic set of processes using sophisticated equipment to scan and eliminate suspected treated diamonds by HPHT (High-Pressure High Temperature) that enhances colour.  Discover the expertise of the C. Krishniah Chetty Group in assessing and sourcing diamonds of exceptional colour quality.

The Birthmark – Clarity

The fascinating world of diamond clarity and the evaluation of such internal and external characteristics have always served as an identifier. These clarities are graded from Flawless (FL) to Included (I). The presence of inclusions and blemishes is what impacts the beauty and price of a diamond. The C. Krishniah Chetty Laboratory grades each diamond over 0.228 CT with well-qualified experienced with trained eyes supported by technology and artificial intelligence that makes each diamond special. These grades are symbolised on a report and discussed during the sales process to distinguish between different types of clarity characteristics and benefit from the expertise of the C. Krishniah Chetty Group in selecting diamonds of exceptional clarity.

The Personality – Carat Weight

The unit of measurement for a diamond is the Carat. One Carat equals 200 milligrams or 1/5th of a gram or subdivided into 100 points. Do not confuse this with karat, a measure of gold purity. The misconception that many have is that if a diamond weighs heavier than the other stone, it does not mean it will look large. A diamond that weighs 2.00 carat does not mean its size is twice in correspondence to a 1.00-carat diamond. Besides the weight of a diamond influences its price, a sudden drift of prices is noticed in slab weights are known as magic sizes. Discover the importance of balancing carat weight with other factors to ensure an optimal combination of size and quality. Let the experienced professionals at the C. Krishniah Chetty Group guide you in finding this perfect balance. 

Diamond Certifications

The blueprint of the authenticity and credentials of a diamond reflects on a report with the four value factors of raw data and measurement, proportions and angles with or without a plotted diagram of its graphical representation of clarity characteristics.  C. Krishniah Chetty Group provides a combined Report cum Certificate with every DiamondAir™ that comprehensively guarantees the diamond.
