Diamond Cut

One of the most important factors that diamond buyers in Calgary consider is the cut. The cut does not refer to the diamond’s shape (round, oval, princess, etc.), but to how well the diamond has been proportioned and polished. A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully, creating brilliance, fire, and sparkle that make the stone more valuable.

Diamonds graded with “Excellent” or “Very Good” cuts usually command higher prices, as they maximize light performance. Poorly cut diamonds, even if they have high carat weight or good colour, may appear dull and lifeless, lowering their market value. When you sell a diamond, the cut grade plays a major role in determining how much buyers are willing to pay.

Diamond Colour

Diamond colour also significantly affects value. Colour is graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Colourless diamonds (D–F) are the most desirable because they allow the most sparkle and brilliance. Near-colourless grades (G–J) are also very popular in the resale market, offering a balance of quality and value.

Fancy-coloured diamonds, such as vivid yellow, blue, or pink stones, are exceptions to the standard scale and may command higher premiums due to rarity. On the other hand, diamonds with noticeable yellow or brown tints generally sell for less. As professional diamond buyers in Calgary, we evaluate your stone’s colour grade carefully to ensure you receive a fair, market-based offer.
