Everyone wants to achieve excellence, and diamonds are no different. In the race for excellence in the round and round brilliant cut diamond world, to achieve the status of Triple X Diamond is like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. Few can win it and when you do it means that you are among the best of the best.
What Does a Triple X Diamond Mean?
To some a Triple X Diamond means status and to others it means beauty, but the bottom line is that a Triple X diamond is determined by the cut, polish and symmetry of the finished rock. The facets are all equal, thus providing symmetry. The depth and width are near perfect, so the stone is not too shallow or too deep or too wide or too narrow. The girdle is just right and the culet is the perfect point.
The Triple X diamond has been graded by either the GIA or the AGS as deemed Excellent on the certification that comes with the diamond and it is an honor that is not given lightly.
Can You See A Triple X Diamond With The Naked Eye?
No, you can’t. This is why there is mixed messages about whether it is worth spending the extra money to buy a Triple X diamond, as they do command a premium. The truth is, you can buy a Triple Very Good or a Triple Good and still have a beautiful stone.
The bottom line is that it is up to the consumer. If you buy a diamond that has a warmer tone and has a lower clarity, then you might want to consider a Triple X diamond because what it lacks in color and clarity it will make up for in sparkle, scintillation and shine.
Do We Recommend You Purchase a Triple X Diamond?
What we recommend is that you purchase a diamond based on your budget. We want to educate you so you understand the diamond that you are buying and know all your options, but we also believe that the best diamond for you is the diamond that you love the most, not what that diamond says on the certificate.
What we do believe is that your diamond should have a certificate, be eye clean, be affordable, be beautiful and be something that as a purchase you will feel good about.
