Diamonds come in 10 different shapes all of which are unique and offer a different type of scintillation and sparkle.
BUDGET
You don’t need to get the highest quality diamond to get something that is of equal beauty. The price will vary depending on the quality of diamonds in the market, the source of the diamond and where if was
manufactured.
CARAT
Carat is a diamond’s weight, not its size – how large a diamond appears is also dictated by other factors such as shape and cut proportions – the following guide shows the approximate correlation between carat weight
and size for all the diamond shapes.
COLOUR
The colour scale measures very subtle variances in the shade of a diamond. D has zero colour shade (perfectly white) whilst Z has a yellow/brownish tinge. The way a colour appears visually in a diamond
depends upon the diamond shape as well has the cut and the ring setting
Fergus James Top Tips
Round Diamonds are the best at hiding colour
Big Brands - Cartier generally use D-F - whilst Tiffany generally use D-I colour
Fancy Shape - fancy shapes show colour more than round diamonds
Diamond size - the larger the diamond the more the colour shade shows
Halo Ring Designs - select D-G colour for halo ring designs as the colour shows more in this design
Visual appearance - D-F colors look identical to the naked eye but the price typically varies considerably

CUT
The cut only applies to round diamonds and has the biggest impact on the overall beauty, sparkle and appearance of the diamond. The cut is the most important aspect of the selection process. The better the cut the more
the diamond sparkles. The GIA only measures ‘cut’ for round diamonds, not fancy shapes (all other shapes such as oval, pear cushion etc).
Fergus James Top Tips
Round Shape - for maximum sparkle select an excellent cut
Fancy Shape - Focus on diameter and proportions to maximize appearance
Contact - for fancy shapes we recommend you contact our team for help and advice
FLUORESCENCE
Fluorescence refers to the glow of a diamond when seen under intense UV Light.
Fergus James Top Tips
Fergus James subscribes to GIA’s view on Fluorescence; where it is regarded as neither a good or bad aspect but is purely down to personal preference. If you are looking for value, strong or medium will work for you. If
it feels wrong for you, then aim for faint or none.
The main myth surrounding Fluorescence is that diamonds with higher Fluorescence are milky which is incorrect - milkiness can be found in diamonds with and without fluorescence!
Day to Day, Fluorescence is not visible.
SYMMETRY
Symmetry refers to the precision of how a diamonds facets align as well as how it interacts with light.
Fergus James Top Tips
Based on years of practical experience, Fergus’ top tip is to stick within the Excellent to Very Good range for symmetry, there is no visual difference between Excellent and Very Good. So don’t let an otherwise perfect
stone go if the symmetry is Very Good. If seeking perfection, we would always recommend to look for a diamond with ‘Excellent’ symmetry in order to optimise the diamonds fire and brilliance.
POLISH
Polish refers to the final finish of a diamond used to smoothen out a diamonds facets to achieve a glass like surface. GIA examines all diamonds under 10x magnification to grade the diamonds final polish features ranging
from excellent to poor.

CERTIFICATE
Diamond certificates are issued to confirm a stone’s technical characteristics, value and identity. The GIA (The Gemological Institute of America) have set the worldwide standards in diamond grading since 1931 and have
continued to lead the grading standards since. For example, when GIA grades a diamond as a D then the diamond is a D. When other institutes grade a diamond as a D colour, the GIA may not consider the diamond as a D as it
may not be measured to the same standards as the GIA.
Fergus James Top Tips
All diamonds at Fergus James are GIA certified diamonds, this is so we can ensure we’re giving our customers the very best according to international standards set by GIA.

If you are unsure contact the Fergus James team for practical guidance - CONTACT
CLARITY
Clarity is the measurement of natural inclusions found within the diamond. Every diamond, with the exception of Flawless and Internally Flawless diamonds, have inclusions to a great or lesser degree. Some inclusions
are visible to the naked eye but most are not. The shape, size and position of the inclusions, as well as the shape and size of the diamond, all contribute. If the inclusions in a diamond cannot be seen with the
naked eye they are referred to as being “eye clean”. From a practical point of view, there is no visual day-to-day difference between an eye clean SI1 and a flawless diamond.
Fergus James Top Tips
For Brilliant-Cut diamonds, especially Round shape, you can typically find eye clean diamonds in the “SI” range and easily within the VS bracket - our curation team are experts at finding a clean stone so contact us
for advice and options.
For Step-Cut diamonds (Emerald and Asscher shapes) you’re best to stick to VS1 or the VVS range to ensure they are 100% eye clean.

Fergus James Top Tip
If she has always worn iconic gold jewelry, then go for Rose or Yellow Gold. If she has always worn silver
shades, then go for White Gold or Platinum! Each colour offers its own unique spark to your ring in its own way.
In terms of popularity, White Gold leads the ranks, but the others offer just as much energy!
Having trouble deciding on which style will look the cleanest? Fergus James offers 4 different types of ring
styles. We offer the more classic option with the Solitaire band, but also offer additions with our Diamond
Band, Halo and Trilogy rings.
Fergus James Top Tip
Once again, the ring style is a personal choice completely up to you and your partner. Some prefer a simple band
to show off the center stone and others prefer have diamonds in additional to the center stone. Our 4 ring
styles offer a strong variety to match everyone’s choices. You can’t go wrong!

some people prefer some variety, the round diamond is by far the most popular: Eight out of ten engagement rings
contain a round diamond. Fergus James apply the same standards across our entire selection process. We have
access to one of the largest diamond marketplaces, with some of the finest diamonds in the world. The diamond
shapes are ordered in terms of popularity from left to right on our website.
More often than not our team of diamond curators are able to either get additional discount for a listed
diamond or find a better quality alternative for the same price!

Fergus James Tips
Metal
Unsure on what metal to get? Not a problem, this one is easy. To put it simply, your best bet is to go with whatever she currently wears.
Fergus James Top Tip
If she has always worn iconic gold jewelry, then go for Rose or Yellow Gold. If she has always worn silver shades, then go for White Gold or Platinum! Each colour offers its own unique spark to your ring in its own way. In terms of popularity, White Gold leads the ranks, but the others offer just as much energy!

Once again, the ring style is a personal choice completely up to you and your partner. Some prefer a simple band to show off the center stone and others prefer have diamonds in additional to the center stone. Our 4 ring styles offer a strong variety to match everyone’s choices. You can’t go wrong!
