It determines how the diamond interacts with light; the perfect cut gives the stone the maximum sparkle and shine possible.
IDG Diamond & Gemstone Laboratory
Diamond Fundamentals Course
01
Introduction
IDG Training Center presents the Diamond Fundamentals Course, a professional training program that combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice, designed to prepare trainees to understand diamond fundamentals and grading standards according to global best practices. The course equips trainees with the knowledge needed to recognize diamond characteristics, distinguish between diamond types, use examination tools, and read laboratory reports professionally.
4Cs
Global Evaluation Standards (4Cs)
The internationally recognized evaluation and analysis system for determining the quality and purity of rare diamonds through four precisely crafted main pillars.
02
Color
It measures how free the diamond is from yellow or brown tones. The rarest and most valuable stones are completely colorless.
03
Clarity
It examines internal impurities and microscopic surface flaws. The fewer the impurities, the rarer and more valuable the diamond.
04
Carat
The unit of measurement for the weight of gemstones; as the size and weight of a diamond grow, its value rises exponentially due to the rarity of finding large sizes.
