Carat
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond
While carat influences size, the beauty of a diamond is determined by the balance of all four characteristics
Like all diamonds, our Sif Jakobs lab-grown diamonds are evaluated according to the internationally recognised 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat. These four characteristics determine the overall quality, beauty and value of a diamond. Our manufacturing partner is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), an international organisation that sets high standards for ethical, social and environmental practices across the jewellery industry. This means our materials are part of a responsible value chain, supporting responsible working conditions, local communities and the environmental protection:

Colour measures the presence of colour in a diamond.
The grading scale ranges from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). All Sif Jakobs lab-grown diamonds fall within the near-colourless range, graded G–H colour.
VS-quality
Clarity refers to the presence of natural inclusions or surface blemishes within a diamond. Clarity grades range from Flawless (no imperfections) to Included (visible imperfections). Sif Jakobs lab-grown diamonds are VS clarity, meaning inclusions are very small and typically not visible to the naked eye.
Cut refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and faceted. A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully, creating the sparkle and brilliance diamonds are known for.
