CARAT WEIGHT

Carat measures a diamond’s weight, with 1 carat equal to 200 milligrams (0.2 grams). Larger diamonds are rarer and more valuable when all other factors are equal.

At Alain Michal, we primarily select diamonds of 1 carat or larger as center stones, while offering a variety of sizes to meet individual preferences.

CLARITY

Clarity refers to the presence of internal inclusions or external blemishes. The fewer the imperfections, the rarer and more valuable the diamond.
Alain Michal exclusively selects diamonds graded Flawless (FL), Internally Flawless (IF), and Very Very Slightly Included (VVS) to ensure exceptional purity.

COLOR

Diamonds come in various shades, from rare colorless and soft blues or pinks to more common yellowish hues. The most chemically pure and structurally perfect diamonds are completely colorless, resembling a pure drop of water, making them the most valuable.
Alain Michal selects only diamonds within the D-F color range, ensuring a bright, luminous appearance.

CUT

A diamond’s cut determines how well it interacts with light, influencing its brilliance. Precise proportions, symmetry, and polish enhance its ability to capture and reflect light beautifully.

Alain Michal only chooses diamonds with Excellent (Ideal) to Very Good cut grades, maximizing their fire and sparkle.
