Our process begins at the cutting stage, where proportions, symmetry, and light behavior are refined to unlock each diamond’s full potential. From there, we apply an advanced grading methodology that evaluates not just technical specifications, but the visible beauty and performance of the finished stone.
At the center of this approach is Visual Performance, our proprietary evaluation designed to reflect how a diamond truly appears. This score measures brilliance, fire, and overall face-up beauty through a multi-factor analysis of cut precision, polish, symmetry, light behavior, and structural clarity, while also incorporating advanced criteria often excluded from traditional reports, such as growth line visibility and subtle color tone.
By looking beyond the 4Cs and grounding our grading in how diamonds are actually crafted, we provide a more complete and refined understanding of each stone.
VeraLume™’s proprietary score for brilliance, fire, and face-up beauty. It combines cut precision, polish, symmetry, and light behavior with advanced factors like growth line visibility and subtle color tone, giving a fuller picture of a diamond’s beauty.
