REJECTED: .21 H, SI1 (ROUND) - Chipped Diamond
At first glance, this diamond looks like a candidate for acceptance, but upon closer inspection you'll notice a chip at the top of the diamond. In addition to diminishing the diamond's beauty and brilliance a chip of this nature reduces a diamond's durability and is likely to fracture further over time.
The chip in this diamond means that Robbins Bros. rejected this diamond.
REJECTED: 1.59 F, I1 (ROUND) - Extremely Hazy Diamond
On paper (or online) a diamond like this one sounds like the "perfect deal" because the 4C's give the impression that the diamond is beautiful and brilliant. However, the diamond's overall appearance is extremely cloudy and dull and as a result, this diamond has virtually no brilliance or sparkle.
At Robbins Bros. this diamond was REJECTED regardless of its 4C's because it just isn't as beautiful and brilliant as a diamond should be.
REJECTED: 1.47 D, I1 (ROUND) - Eye Visible Inclusions
This diamond is nicely cut and relatively bright. However, there is an eye visible dark inclusion that is centered and stands out, with another inclusion (this one looks like a thick white cloud) to one side that is also easily visible to the naked eye. As a result of these markings, this diamond was rejected by Robbins Bros.
PASSED: 1.44 F, I1 (ROUND) - Selected for Visual Beauty
This diamond does everything a diamond should do: it is very well cut and exceptionally proportioned with inclusions off to the side that cannot easily be seen with the naked eye. The combination of these and other characteristics result in a diamond that is beautiful and brilliant. This diamond is the 1 out of 10 that makes it a Robbins Brothers Diamond.

Can you Pick the Robbins Brothers Diamond?
We reject 9 out of 10 diamonds we review.
At Robbins Bros. we visually inspect every diamond to ensure that it meets our exacting standards. As no two diamonds are alike, we encourage you to inspect your diamond under the right lighting conditions, under 10x magnification and loose, out of its setting. While color, clarity, carat weight, and cut are important, at the end of the day, remember to buy with your eyes, not with your ears.
See if you can tell the difference, we did.
Keep in mind that some of the "REJECTED" diamonds you'll see in this section would seem like the "perfect diamond" from their diamond grading reports, but obviously they are not.
