Excellent (EX), Very Good (VG), Good (G), Fair (F) and Poor (P).

Diamonds with a polish grade of Good to Excellent will not have any polishing imperfections visible to the naked eye.

According to GIA, symmetry is graded on a scale from Excellent to Poor based on the presence and visibility of symmetry deviations at 10x magnification.
