White Sapphire (Safed Pukhraj)

Hardness: Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This hardness makes diamonds extremely resistant to scratching and gives them their enduring beauty.

Color: While diamonds are often associated with a transparent or colorless appearance, they can also come in a range of colors, including yellow, brown, blue, green, pink, and even rare and highly valued colors like red and purple. Colorless diamonds are graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown), with the highest color grades being the most desirable.

Clarity: Diamonds can contain natural internal characteristics called inclusions and external blemishes. These characteristics are evaluated to determine a diamond’s clarity. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamonds on a clarity scale ranging from Flawless (no inclusions or blemishes visible under 10x magnification) to Included (inclusions visible to the naked eye).

Cut: The cut of a diamond refers to its proportions, symmetry, and overall finish. A well-cut diamond reflects light in a way that maximizes its brilliance and sparkle. The quality of a diamond’s cut is crucial to its visual appeal and is assessed based on criteria such as brightness, fire, and scintillation.
