Diamond Advisor supports the Jafuta Foundation which is a non-profit organisation focusing on the key elements necessary to maintain equilibrium in our fragile African eco-system: community, education, culture, conservation and wildlife are the key focus areas.

The foundation is a catalyst for bringing together the private sector, local Zimbabwean authorities, communities and protected area management agencies. It is an integral point through which to channel funds or assistance to any agency or cause with 100% guaranteed transparency, safe in the knowledge that there are no hidden costs for administration and expenditures.

The Foundation is registered in Zimbabwe with locations in Victoria Falls and the surrounding parks and forests. The Jafuta Centre on the edge of the Zambezi National Park is the base used to interact with the public, run projects and host workshops that benefit local communities and wildlife.

The key attributes which Diamond Advisor supports are human/wildlife conflict programmes and awareness, the creation and rehabilitation of water points for both rural communities and wildlife, road creation, fire management and maintenance in protected parks and education, agriculture and conservation training programmes. They also focus on domestic animal rescue and protection and fund-seeking for a wide range of purposes: game scout units, wildlife tracking, agriculture and conservation training and education.

Cut

Nothing is more impactful on a precious stone’s brilliance than its cut. The cut refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond. Known in the industry as ‘fire’, referring to the coloured light reflected, and ‘brilliance’ for the uncoloured light. The cut of a diamond – its form and finish, its depth and width, the uniformity of the facets – determines its beauty. The skill with which a diamond is cut determines how well it reflects and refracts light. A diamond should be cut proportionally, neither very shallow not very deep, given its dimensions. A diamond’s cut is its most important characteristics and a measure of its apparent beauty.

Certificate

A diamond certificate or grading report provides an expert opinion on the quality of the diamond and is provided by an independent gemology lab. Trained gemologists with specialized equipment measure the weight and dimensions of the diamond and assess quality characteristics such as cut, color, and clarity. Brilliant Earth diamonds are certified by the world’s leading gem grading labs including GIA, IGI, and GCAL.

Depth

The height of a diamond, from the culet to the table referred as a Depth of the diamond . Depth % is the height of the diamond as a percentage of the girdle diameter.

Table

Table referred as the largest facet of a gemstone, located at the top. Table % is the table width as a percentage of the girdle diameter.

Polish

Polish refers to the smoothness of the exterior of a diamond. Polish is graded from Ideal, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor. Polish grades of Good or higher have the least effect on the brilliance of the diamond and recommended by us for the finest quality jewelry.

Symmetry

Symmetry refers to the angles to which the facets are aligned. Basically exactness of the shape of a diamond, and the symmetrical arrangement and even placement of the facets. If facets are misaligned, the diamond may poorly reflect light. Symmetry is graded from Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, or Poor. We recommends diamonds with Good or higher symmetry grades.

Fluorescence

Describes the diamond’s response to ultraviolet light. In diamonds with strong or very strong fluorescence, there may be some interference with the flow of light which causes a milky or oily appearance. Canadian diamonds almost always have none to slight fluorescence.

Measurements

Diamonds with “fancy” shapes are measured according to their length, width and depth. These diamonds will have a longer axis (the biggest measurement) and a shorter one that represents their width. The depth indicates the measurement of the diamond from the bottom to the top. The relative proportions of a diamond ultimately affect its quality and value.

Round-shaped diamonds are never perfectly round even though they may seem to be that way when you look at them. There is a tiny variation between maximum and minimum diameter, so dimensions are reflected as measurements of maximum diameter, minimum diameter and depth.
