The Nicotalya Standard
Beyond the certificate.
A grading report organizes information. Beauty is also experienced through light, proportion, presence, and the way a diamond belongs to a design.
Two Origins. One Standard.
Choose the origin. We help you choose the beauty.
Natural and lab-grown diamonds form differently. Neither choice defines the House. We explain origin, grading, tradeoffs, and visual character clearly so the right choice can reflect your priorities.
What We Consider
Cut and light behavior
Proportions and symmetry
Color and clarity
Measurements and face-up presence
Fluorescence where relevant
Compatibility with the design
Center and accent origin choices
Overall visual balance
Report & Eye
What the paper says. What the eye sees.
A grading report may record measurements and characteristics such as color, clarity, carat weight, proportions, polish, symmetry, and fluorescence. GIA or IGI reporting may apply depending on the individual diamond; not every stone should be assumed to carry the same laboratory report.
Visual evaluation adds context: how efficiently the stone returns light, how its outline presents, whether its proportions suit the setting, and how its character feels in motion.
Craftsmanship
Proportion. Security. Finish. Comfort. Dimension.
The center diamond and accent diamonds can have independent origins where a design supports that choice. Every element is then considered as part of one composition—from secure setting and refined finishing to profile, wearability, and balance.
