The Surat Advantage

Why We Reject 499 out of 500 Diamonds.

Most diamond retailers accept everything from their suppliers. We don't. Our forensic vetting process ensures only the top 0.2% of stones ever make it to our inventory.

The Forensic Promise

What We Reject β€” And Why

We use spectroscopy, FTIR analysis, and magnification testing to detect flaws invisible to the naked eye. If it's not perfect, we don't sell it.

❌

Blue Nuance (HPHT)

HPHT diamonds often exhibit a blue "nuance" due to boron contamination. Under UV light or bright sunlight, these stones look steely and unnatural.

Rejected: ~70% of HPHT stones
❌

Brown Tinge (CVD)

Lower-quality CVD growth can leave residual brown or gray tints in the crystal lattice. These "milky" stones lack brilliance and fire.

Rejected: ~40% of CVD stones
❌

Strain Patterns

Internal stress during growth creates "graining" visible under polarized light. These affect light performance and long-term durability.

Rejected: ~50% of all stones
βœ“

What We Accept

Type IIa CVD diamonds with:

  • Zero brown or gray tint
