💎 LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS

REAL DIAMONDS. CREATED DIFFERENTLY.

A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, created using advanced technology in a controlled environment.

It is made of crystallized carbon and has the same crystal structure as a natural diamond.

The difference is simply where it comes from.

A natural diamond forms deep within the Earth over millions of years.

A lab-grown diamond is created using advanced technology.

The result is still a diamond.

At DOC Company, we focus on high-quality lab-grown diamonds, with special attention to one of the characteristics we value most:

VVS

An exceptionally high clarity for those looking for a clean, brilliant and premium diamond.

💎 THE 4Cs

When you see something like:

1.00 CT · D · VVS1 · EXCELLENT

It might look like a bunch of letters and numbers.

But it's actually pretty simple.

The 4Cs are:

💎 CARAT

The weight of the diamond

🤍 COLOR

How colorless it is

🔍 CLARITY

How clean it is

✨ CUT

How it is cut and how it interacts with light

Let's break them down.

🤍 01 — COLOR

HOW COLORLESS IS IT?

Diamond color is traditionally graded from D to Z.

D represents the highest grade of colorlessness on this scale.

As we move toward Z, increasingly noticeable yellow or warm tones appear.

D · E · F

COLORLESS

A virtually colorless appearance.

G · H · I · J

NEAR COLORLESS

Very little visible color, with warmer tones becoming progressively more noticeable.

K → Z

Increasingly warm tones.

Visual comparison of the D → Z diamond color scale.

WHY DOES COLOR MATTER?

A diamond with less visible color can have a whiter, cleaner appearance.

At DOC Company, we look for a balanced combination of color, clarity and cut so the diamond looks incredible once it is set into the piece.

Because a diamond isn't just about one letter.

It's about how all its characteristics work together.

🔍 02 — CLARITY

HOW CLEAN IS IT?

This is where you will see terms such as:

VVS1 · VVS2 · VS1 · VS2 · SI1 · SI2

Clarity describes the internal and external characteristics found in a diamond.

And this is where we get to the famous:

INCLUSIONS

Inclusions are small characteristics that can be found inside a diamond.

They can include:

• Small crystals
• Pinpoints
• Clouds
• Needles
• Feathers
• Other internal characteristics

Not every diamond has the same inclusions.

Their size, position, number and how easy they are to see all contribute to the diamond's clarity grade.

💎 SO... WHAT DOES VVS ACTUALLY MEAN?

VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

This is one of the most important parts.

VVS is an exceptionally high clarity category.

The inclusions in a VVS diamond are extremely difficult to detect even under 10× magnification.

And this is where we find:

VVS1

Inclusions that are extremely difficult to locate under 10× magnification.

VVS2

Inclusions that are very difficult to locate under 10× magnification.

Both belong to the VVS clarity category.

👀 WHAT ABOUT VS, SI...?

The clarity scale continues through several categories:

FL

FLAWLESS

No inclusions or blemishes visible under 10× magnification.

IF

INTERNALLY FLAWLESS

No internal inclusions visible under 10× magnification.

VVS1 / VVS2

VERY VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

Extremely difficult-to-detect inclusions under 10×.

VS1 / VS2

VERY SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

Inclusions are easier to locate under 10×.

SI1 / SI2

SLIGHTLY INCLUDED

Inclusions are easier to detect.

I1 / I2 / I3

INCLUDED

Inclusions are obvious under magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.

💎 WHY VVS AT DOC COMPANY?

Because we believe the details matter.

When you buy a piece with diamonds, we don't want you to simply see a beautiful stone.

We want you to understand what you're buying.

VVS offers an exceptionally high level of clarity, with inclusions that are extremely difficult to locate under magnification.

That's why, when we're looking for a premium clarity for our pieces:

WE CHOOSE VVS.

Not because lower clarity diamonds can't look amazing.

But because VVS represents the clarity standard we want to associate with DOC Company.

💎 VVS BY DOC COMPANY

Lab-grown diamonds.
A selection made to stand out.

✨ 03 — CUT

THE CUT IS WHAT BRINGS THE LIGHT TO LIFE.

Here's something a lot of people get confused about:

CUT ≠ SHAPE

The shape can be:

ROUND · OVAL · PRINCESS · EMERALD · PEAR · MARQUISE · CUSHION · RADIANT

That's the diamond's shape.

The Cut refers to the quality of the diamond's proportions, symmetry and facets, and how they interact with light.

A well-cut diamond allows light to enter, reflect inside the stone and return toward your eyes.

THE RESULT?

✨ More brilliance
✨ More sparkle
✨ More light performance

⚖️ 04 — CARAT

WHAT DOES 1 CT MEAN?

Carat (ct) refers to the weight of the diamond.

1 CT = 0.20 GRAMS

For example:

0.50 CT → 0.10 g
1.00 CT → 0.20 g
1.50 CT → 0.30 g
2.00 CT → 0.40 g

But there is something important to remember:

CARAT ≠ EXACT SIZE

Two diamonds with the same carat weight can have different visual dimensions depending on their shape and how they are cut.

Visual comparison of 0.50 CT / 1 CT / 1.50 CT / 2 CT diamonds.

💎 LET'S DECODE A DIAMOND

1.00 CT · D · VVS1 · EXCELLENT

Now we can understand it.

1.00 CT

💎 The diamond weighs one carat.

D

🤍 The highest colorless grade on the D–Z scale.

VVS1

🔍 Exceptionally high clarity.

EXCELLENT

✨ Excellent cut grade.

IN SHORT:

A 1-carat diamond, with D color, VVS1 clarity and an Excellent cut.

Now those letters and numbers don't look so complicated.

🧪 LAB-GROWN DIAMOND VS MOISSANITE

Although they can look similar at first glance...

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME STONE.

💎 LAB-GROWN DIAMOND

✓ It is a diamond
✓ Crystallized carbon
✓ Diamond crystal structure
✓ Can be graded using the 4Cs
✓ Available in different colors, clarities, shapes and carat weights

✨ MOISSANITE

✓ A different gemstone
✓ Different chemical composition
✓ Its own optical properties
✓ Known for its impressive brilliance and fire
✓ An alternative to diamond

Both can create incredible jewelry.

But if you're looking for:

LAB-GROWN DIAMOND + HIGH CLARITY

At DOC Company, we choose:

VVS 💎

📜 CERTIFICATION

When a diamond comes with a gemological certificate, its characteristics can be documented.

Depending on the grading laboratory and report, this can include information such as:

CARAT · COLOR · CLARITY · CUT · MEASUREMENTS

Example of a diamond grading certificate.

A certificate allows you to see the specific characteristics of the diamond you're purchasing.

💎 VVS BY DOC COMPANY

Buying a diamond shouldn't simply be about looking at how many carats it has.

Now you know what:

D · E · F → COLOR

VVS1 · VVS2 → CLARITY

EXCELLENT → CUT

CT → CARAT

actually mean.

And, more importantly, you know what's behind those letters and numbers.

WE DON'T JUST WANT YOU TO SEE THE SPARKLE.
