IGI's Diamond Information Video Kit provides valuable information, which enables consumers to make informed decisions when purchasing diamonds and diamond jewelry. By viewing the video and reading the Diamond Information Manual included with the kit, one is able to walk into any retail jeweler with sufficient knowledge to confidently purchase jewelry within a desired budget.

The diamond information manual contains a full description and easily understood charts, showing clearly the all-important 4Cs. For example, the kit's charts and video demonstrate - by color comparison - how different one color grade is to another. Additionally, you will see how the color grade of a diamond is established to the international standard by IGI's gemologists working at the Institute.

Appreciate the differences between a VVS1 to an imperfect diamond and again, actually observe the many gemologists at IGI in their everyday work environment, assessing the clarity grade to the universal standard of diamond grading.

View IGI's state-of-the-art gemological laboratories, and the most up-to-date equipment used to establish objective measurements on the importance of cut proportions and how these proportions affect the quality of the diamond's cut. The charts included give a systematic means of measuring the quality of the cut of one diamond, to that of another, thereby enabling differentiation of the amount of brilliance and scintillation between stones.

Learn how diamonds are weighed using a well calibrated electronic balance that measures to the ten-thousandth of a carat, and how important the official weight, as per strict government guidelines, really is. For example, if a diamond is .998 of a carat, is a jeweler allowed to say the diamond weighs one carat?
