A note on our recordsA Lovenhall record is an informed opinion — a considered reading supported by detailed imaging and artificial-intelligence analysis, offered in good faith. It is not a certificate of authenticity, a formal appraisal, or a guarantee of value; independent verification is always advised before a purchase or sale.

What moves the value

The four Cs, weighed together

Weight is only the beginning. The estimate above scales the carat by cut, colour and clarity — the qualities that separate two stones of equal size.

  • 01
    Cut

    How precisely the stone is faceted — the truest source of a diamond's fire and brilliance, and the C that most rewards a trained eye.

  • 02
    Colour

    Graded D (colourless) through Z. The nearer to colourless, the rarer — though warmth is prized in certain fancy hues.

  • 03
    Clarity

    The presence of inclusions and blemishes, from Flawless to Included. Read under 10× magnification, never by the naked eye alone.

  • 04
    Carat

    Weight, not size. Value rises steeply at the round numbers, where rarity and demand concentrate.
