Why GCAL Created 8X

Learn what makes GCAL 8X unique, how it evaluates diamonds, and why cut quality is the most important factor in a diamond’s beauty.

GCAL 8X Certification & Light Performance

GCAL 8X is the top cut grade from GCAL by Sarine. A diamond earns it only by scoring Excellent in all eight cut factors: polish, external symmetry, proportions, optical brilliance, fire, scintillation, optical symmetry and shape aesthetics. One Very Good in any factor and it doesn't qualify. According to GCAL, fewer than 1% of round diamonds graded Excellent qualify for 8X. GCAL now applies the same eight-factor standard to ovals and other fancy shapes. GCAL measures light performance on each diamond with its own imaging, so the fire and brilliance results on this page are this stone's, not a sample.

Understanding Your Diamond’s Images

Every image is GCAL's photograph of this exact diamond.

  • 360° video: the stone turning, as you'd see it in your hand.
  • Fire video: the flashes of color and sparkle as the diamond moves under light.
  • Top and bottom views: the diamond face-up and from below.
  • Hearts & Arrows (round diamonds): the symmetry patterns seen through a special viewer.
  • Brilliance (other shapes): white areas show light returned to your eye.
  • Symmetry: how evenly the facets line up.
  • Proportions: its measured angles and dimensions.
