At Icing On The Ring, all of our natural mined diamonds and lab grown diamonds are GIA certified that come with their individual certificate from GIA. It is our top priority to serve our customers with full transparency when it comes to their diamonds and jewelry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which diamond cut sparkles the most?
Every diamond has a unique sparkle, or brilliance, no matter the shape depending on quality. Generally, a round brilliant diamond shows the most sparkle, which is exactly why it’s been the top choice for years!
Which diamond cut looks biggest?
Any elongated shape will cover more surface area at a smaller carat weight. Oval and emerald cut diamonds are most popular, but marquise, pear, and elongated cushion-shaped diamonds are also great options.
What clarity diamond is best value?
SI1 and SI2 clarity grades present the best value since any flaws are virtually invisible to the naked eye. Higher clarity grades don’t offer a big difference in visual gratification, so these grades will be a bigger bang for your buck.
What causes diamonds to sparkle?
Light enters a diamond and reflects off its facets, or interior surface. When the light leaves the diamond, it either reflects as white light, aka brightness, or can split into a spectrum of colors, aka fire.
