- The Helzberg Diamonds is cardboard box with paper/cardboard lining where the Helzberg Diamonds is Fabric lining, likely polyester or cotton blend; exterior typically leather or synthetic material, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
