There are several 'best' grades, depending on whether you are grading clarity, cut or colour.
- Best clarity is Flawless or Internally Flawless (F) or (IF)
- Best 'colourless' grade is D
- Best colour grade for a naturally coloured diamond is Fancy Vivid
- Best cut depends on who's selling the diamond; many sellers claim that their cut is the 'best'.

How can you tell a good cut diamond?
Unless you are a trained and experienced diamond cutter, understanding the variables to the degree necessary in order to tell the difference -- one diamond cut from another of the same basic shape -- is impossible. That's why the Gemological Institute of America and others specialize in grading diamonds, one grade being given for cut. Basically, according to TruthAboutDiamonds.com: "Diamond Cut refers to how well proportioned the diamond is. For example, what percentage of a diamonds diameter is its depth? What are its various angles and how do they interact with one another?" Always work with a certified gemologist to buy the best cut diamond you can afford, since the better cut, together with the other high ratings for the stone, will help you preserve your diamond investment.
