The LALI Diamond Standard
What We Look For Before A Stone Ever Reaches You
Every diamond in this collection is evaluated against the same four measures our founders learned from their forefathers - so brilliance is never a surprise.
Cut
Precision Faceting
The angles and proportions that determine how a diamond captures and returns light - the single biggest driver of sparkle.
Color
Graded for Clarity of Light
We favor near-colorless and colorless grades so white light passes through cleanly, undistorted by warmth or tint.
Clarity
Eye-Clean, Always
Internal characteristics are checked under magnification so every stone we set reads clean to the naked eye.
Carat
Weighed for Value
Size matters, but never at the expense of the other three - we balance carat weight against cut, color, and clarity for real value.
