The Collection

Certified Brilliance, Honestly Explained

Every significant diamond at IDC Cayman is independently graded by the Gemological Institute of America, the world’s most respected diamond authority. We keep a curated inventory of loose certified stones, and we will happily source a specific diamond to your exact brief.

You do not need to master the 4Cs before you visit, that is our job. We will show you, diamond in hand, exactly where your budget is best spent so your stone looks its most beautiful for the value.

Choosing Your Diamond

The 4Cs, Made Simple

Cut

The most important C. Cut governs how powerfully a diamond returns light as fire and sparkle, a superb cut outshines a higher grade poorly cut.

Colour

How close a white diamond comes to truly colourless, graded D (colourless) to Z. G-H offers a beautiful white at exceptional value.

Clarity

The natural inclusions within a diamond, from Flawless to Included. VS1-VS2 are eye-clean and represent outstanding value.

Carat

The weight of the diamond. Shape and cut affect how large a stone looks, an oval can look larger than a round of equal carat.

GIA Certification

Why a GIA Report Matters

A GIA diamond grading report is an unbiased, scientifically precise assessment from gemologists with no stake in the sale. It is the difference between trusting a description and knowing the truth, and at IDC Cayman it is non-negotiable for every significant diamond.

Questions

Good to Know

What does GIA certification mean?
The Gemological Institute of America is the world's foremost independent diamond grading laboratory and the originator of the 4Cs. A GIA certificate is an unbiased, scientifically precise report, issued by trained gemologists with no commercial interest in the sale, confirming a diamond's cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. When a diamond carries a GIA report, you know exactly what you are buying.
Why does IDC Cayman insist on GIA-certified diamonds?
Because certification protects the buyer. Every significant diamond we sell is independently GIA-graded rather than assessed in-house, removing any risk of misrepresentation. We review the certificate with you and explain each grade in plain language before you commit.
Which of the 4Cs matters most?
Cut. A well-cut diamond returns more light and sparkles more than a poorly cut stone of higher colour or clarity. After cut, we help most clients prioritise a G-H colour and VS1-VS2 clarity, which look beautiful to the eye while offering excellent value.
Can I buy a loose diamond and choose a setting separately?
Yes. We maintain an inventory of GIA-certified loose diamonds in all major shapes and a wide range of carat weights, colours and clarities. A loose diamond can be paired with a setting from the collection or incorporated into a bespoke design.
How much can I save buying diamonds in Grand Cayman?
The Cayman Islands charges zero sales tax and zero VAT on diamonds. UK and European buyers save the equivalent of 20%+ VAT, Australians 10% GST, and Americans the equivalent of their state sales tax, realised at purchase, with no refund paperwork.
What diamond shapes do you carry?
Round brilliant, oval, cushion, princess, pear, marquise, emerald, radiant and asscher, across a wide range of carat weights, colours and clarities. If we do not have a specific stone in stock, we can source it to your exact specification.
