0.40 Carat Oval Brilliant Diamond

Carat Weight: 0.40 ct.

Diamonds are sold by the carat (shown as ct.), which is actually a unit of weight, though most think of a carat in terms of size. The word "carat" comes from the "carob" seed, the original unit of measure for diamond traders. Today, a carat is equal to exactly 0.2 grams (about the weight of a paper clip). Carat weight is unrelated to the similar sounding karat, which refers to gold's purity.

Reference only. True diamond size may vary based on monitor size.

Clarity Grade: VS1

Inclusions are clearly visible under 10x magnification but can be characterized as minor. Inclusions are not visible to the naked eye. Perhaps 1 in 100 untrained observers can detect VS2 inclusions with the naked eye, on close inspection under ideal conditions.

Color Grade: BLUE

A blue diamond is an extremely rare occurrence whether mined or created in a lab. Comes in different secondary color modification ranging from purple-blue to green-blue. Traces of boron and hydrogen in the crystal cause the color. Prices is exponentially higher than colorless diamonds in the same size and clarity.
