Deciding which diamond to buy is easier than ever. Thanks to our exclusive Angara Rating system, you'll get the one number that helps the most in judging your diamond's quality. Our gemologists have developed a proprietary formula which analyzes each diamond's data using a variety of different criteria (including color, cut, clarity, fluorescence, culet, girdle, polish and symmetry) to come up with the one number that will guide you to the perfect ring.

Under Angara's Angara Rating system, we only choose diamonds that meet our strictest requirements. Therefore, only diamonds with Angara Ratings above 80 are accepted.

Angara supports all industry efforts to end trafficking of conflict diamonds. We only obtain diamonds from reputable sources that comply with the international monitoring system known as the Kimberly Process, which requires manufacturers to supply retailers with documentation that their diamonds were received through legitimate channels.
