Diamond Size

Diamond Carat

Carat is often the first thing to come to mind when thinking about a diamond’s size. Size and carat weight are closely related but there are other factors in a diamond’s appearance. Cut and shape also play a role in whether the diamond appears visually larger or smaller than its actual carat weight.

Kwiat Standards

A properly cut diamond will not have too much weight in hidden areas. The added weight increases the cost without giving the diamond a larger appearance. At Kwiat, we cut our diamonds to keep the carat weight in the right places. Each gem has the widest possible diameter to appear larger than other diamonds of comparable carat weight. And because of their superior cut, our diamonds will appear whiter than their GIA color grade. We call this the Kwiat Tiara® Cut.

Diamond Color and Clarity

Diamond Color

Diamonds are rated on a color scale developed by the GIA, the world’s premier diamond grading nonprofit. The color grading system is based on the alphabet, beginning with the letter D and running all the way through Z. A grade of D is the best possible grade a diamond can receive, which translates to an absence of color. Diamonds with this grade tend to be the most rare and valuable.

Diamond Clarity

Clarity refers to the presence of imperfections, known as inclusions, in the crystal structure of the diamond. Nearly all diamonds contain some sort of inclusion, as they are part of a diamond’s characteristics and structure. An inclusion within a diamond is natural, and on the higher end of the clarity scale, does not take away from its beauty.

We dream up designs for diamond jewelry in our New York City workshop. Diamond cutters, graders, jewelers, setters and polishers work closely with our design team to bring the Kwiat vision to life.

Kwiat - Expert Craftsmanship

EXPERT CRAFTSMANSHIP

Perfecting the cut of a diamond is both an art and a science. A Kwiat diamond is chosen for its natural beauty. Master craftsmen with years of experience cut each diamond to unlock the brilliance from within.

Diamonds are perfectly matched and set into jewelry designed specifically for their stones. Great care, calculation and precision is required to ensure settings are at once delicate and sturdy, diamond stud earrings maintain their balance as if defying gravity and necklaces sit in exactly the right place and roll only when intended to do so.

A Cut Above

EXCLUSIVELY KWIAT

Superb craftsmanship takes time to master. We cut our diamonds with more than a century of expertise. This results in the world’s strictest standards for diamond cuts.

All of our diamonds over half a carat receive a GIA grade for color and clarity. A GIA cut grade is only available for round stones. Ours—the Kwiat Tiara® Cut—must meet the GIA grade of Excellent, but not all GIA Excellent diamonds meet our high standards. We study each GIA Excellent diamond and define a smaller subset of these stones that is worthy of becoming a Kwiat diamond.
