Regarding the description of product condition
Condition evaluation will be on an 8-step scale.
Each piece is carefully polished by skilled craftsmen, and each item is left in like-new condition.
Please be sure to read it.
- Most of the products in our store are second-hand items.
Depending on the customer, there may be ``dirt'' or ``scratches'' that may be of concern to the customer, so please be aware of this before purchasing. - Regarding the condition of the product, it may not be possible to show all scratches and damage in the image. Please note.
Please also note that colors may vary depending on the angle at which the photo is taken and the monitor of the computer or smartphone you are using. - Regarding products with gold stamps [Pm (Platinum)] and [18K/18kt/750] whose content has been confirmed, they will be written as [Pt900] or [K18].

About stone quality evaluation
Stone quality display is objectively evaluated based on the following three items.
- This is Selby's own evaluation standard.
color evaluation
Diamond color evaluation
| rank | diamond |
|---|---|
| aaa | Top Colorless (Top Colorless) GIA standard D to E colors. It appears colorless and transparent when viewed from both face-up and edge-up angles. |
| aa | Colorless (Colorless) GIA standard F to H colors. When viewed face-up, it appears almost colorless and transparent. |
| a | Near Colorless GIA standard I-L colors. It looks slightly colored. Display the base color after the rank. |
| b | Very Light ~ Light color (Very Light ~ Light color) Below GIA standard N color. You can see that it is clearly colored. Display the base color after the rank. |
| c | Light color ~, below GIA standard S color. At a glance, you can see that the color is more clearly colored than the B rank. Display the base color after the rank. |
Color evaluation of colored stones
| rank | colored stones |
|---|---|
| aaa | The highest-ranking color tone among the target gemstones, such as pigeon blood ruby, cornflower blue sapphire, etc. |
| aa | Color tone next to AAA rank. There is a slight negative point when compared to the best toned ones. Example: beef blood ruby etc. |
| a | Normal rank color tone. Based on AAA, there are some negative points such as the color being a little light, dark, or dark. |
| b | The color tone clearly shows the negative points when seen with the naked eye. It's clearly a level where you're concerned about negative points such as colors being too light, too dark, or too dark. |
| c | Lower rank color tones that can be used as jewelry |
clarity evaluation
Clarity is a standard for evaluating how relatively few scratches and inclusions there are.
- This is the same evaluation for diamonds and colored stones.
| rank | Content |
|---|---|
| AAA | Even with a 10x magnifying glass, inclusions are barely visible. (Clarity higher than VS class) |
| A.A. | When using a 10x magnifying glass, you can see slight inclusions. (SI1 class clarity) |
| A | If you look closely with the naked eye, you can see slight inclusions. |
| B | Several inclusions can be seen with the naked eye. |
| C | The presence of inclusions can be clearly seen with the naked eye. |
Terri/brilliance evaluation
- This is the same evaluation for diamonds and colored stones.
| rank | Content |
|---|---|
| AAA | The highest rank of brilliance among the target gemstones. |
| A.A. | Only when compared to AAA-ranked ones, you can see that the shine is slightly inferior. |
| A | It has enough shine and shine to be used as a jewel. |
| B | I can confirm that the texture is a little sweet. |
| C | It's cloudy and doesn't look very bright. |
- Depending on the nature of the gemstone, it may not be possible to express it using the 5-level rating above.
In such cases, the expression "A+" may be used. - If multiple pieces, such as melee diamonds, are used and there are differences in quality, the average quality will be displayed as the main one, and the quality of the range of use will be displayed in parentheses.
Display example: A(B+～AA) - The evaluation of brightness and shine may be due to the internal crystal structure or the quality of the cut and make-up.
Especially in the case of colored stones, there is no strict objective evaluation axis like that for diamonds, so please think of it as a somewhat simplified quality evaluation method to supplement photos and descriptions.
About the evaluation of diamonds with certificates
Please see below for the evaluation of graded diamonds that come with a certificate of authenticity and a sorting bag.
- The evaluation criteria will be determined by a third-party organization.
color evaluation
| D～F | Colorless |
|---|---|
| G～J | Near Colorless |
| K～M | Faint Yellow Slight yellow |
| N～R | Very Light Yellow Very light yellow |

| IF | Internally Flawless Minor surface scratches |
| VVS1, VVS2, VS1 | Minute flaws that are difficult to detect even under 10x magnification |
| VS2, SI1, SI2 | Can be detected with 10x magnification, but difficult to detect with the naked eye |
| I1, I2, I3 | Inclusions can be seen with the naked eye |
