Gemstones come in a rainbow of strikingly vibrant hues, which
this wheel makes beautifully apparent. By placing gems in color
groupings for easy comparisons, customers can see their many
exciting possibilities and subtle color shifts.
And they can visualize the differences between Blue Sapphire
and Tanzanite, Ruby and Mozambique Garnet, Emerald and
Tsavorite Garnet, Purple Spinel and Purple Sapphire. It also
helps customers coordinate two or more gems for a layout. See
color guide poster in the back of the book for reference.

The Four Cs of Diamonds AGTA Enhancement Codes and Designations

Diamonds are among the most coveted gems. To determine a diamond’s
value, experts use the Four Cs — Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight.
To a great extent, cut, color and clarity depend on the quality of the
rough diamond.
comparing the diamond to a master set. Each letter grade represents a
range of color and is a measurement of how noticeable a color is.
When diamonds are formed with traces of other minerals, rare and beau-
tiful colors can result. These “fancy” colors range from blue and brilliant
E N H A N C E M E N T:
Any traditional process other than cutting and polishing that improves the appearance (color/clarity/phenomena), durability, or availability of a gemstone.
N – N AT U R A L The “N” symbol appears on the chart only for natural stones which are not currently known to be enhanced; however, the “N” symbol can also be used for other
natural gemstones in the event that a gemstone has received no enhancement and the seller will provide a guarantee that there has been none.

Rarity And Beauty

All gem-quality diamonds are rare, taking billions of years for nature to
form them. The journey from the mine to you is long and arduous. While
the four Cs information helps you to identify the quality of the diamond
you are purchasing, it is the combination of these four characteristics
which determine a diamond’s rarity and therefore its value.
CUT
While cut does describe shape, when discussing the four Cs it refers to
the overall proportions and finish of the diamond.
A diamond’s overall proportions, as well as the size and position of
its facets, make up the cut. The consistency and balance of these can
greatly affect how the stone captures light and reflects it back to the eye.
When a diamond is cut with the proper proportions, light enters the
diamond and is returned through the top of the diamond. If a diamond is
too shallow, light will escape from the bottom of the stone. If it is cut too
deep, light will escape from the pavilion.
Studies have been conducted to find the optimum proportions of a
diamond’s cut so that it has the greatest amount of sparkle. If its cut falls
within these parameters, it is considered an ideal cut. Diamonds with
fine proportions, symmetry, and polish optimize their interaction with
light and have increased brilliance, dispersion, and scintillation.

colored diamonds are highly desirable and typically more valuable.
ASBL – ASSEMBLED

or combinations of manufactured and/or natural material

Colorless Yellow Yellow gemstone, create a unique design or generate unusual

B – BLEACHING
DEF Z+ The use of heat, light, and/or other agents to lighten
or remove a gemstone’s color.
C – C O AT I N G
The use of such surface enhancements as lacquering,
enameling, inking, foiling, or sputtering of films to improve
appearance, provide color, or add other special effects.

H P– H E AT I N G A N D P R E S S U R E
The use of heat and pressure combined to effect desired
alterations of color, clarity, and/or phenomena.
IMIT – IMITATION
“IMIT” is the tag code used for a manufactured product
fabricated in such materials as glass, ceramic, or plastic
designed to imitate or resemble the appearance, but not du-
plicate the characteristic properties of a natural gemstone.
“IMIT” is also the tag code for a simulant, which is defined
as man-made single crystal product that is used to simu-
late the appearance, but not duplicate the characteristic
properties of the natural gemstone it imitates.
I – IMPREGNATION
The impregnation of a porous gemstone with a
colorless agent (usually plastic) to improve durability
and appearance.
L – LASERING
The use of a laser and chemicals to reach and alter
inclusions in gemstones, usually diamonds.
O – OILING/RESIN INFUSION
The filling of surface-breaking fissures with colorless oil,
wax, resin, or other colorless substances, except glass or
plastic, to improve the gemstone’s appearance.
SYN – SYNTHETIC
The tag code may be used to describe “synthetic”
materials that have essentially the same optical,
physical and chemical properties as a naturally
occurring counterpart.
R – IRRADIATION
The use of neutrons, gamma rays or beta particles
(high energy electrons) to alter a gemstone’s color.
The irradiation may be followed by a heating process.
U – DIFFUSION
The use of chemicals in conjunction with high
temperatures to produce artificial color change and/or
asterism-producing inclusions.
W – WAXING/OILING
The impregnation of a colorless wax, paraffin, and
oil in porous opaque or translucent gemstones to
improve appearance.
