When shopping for a diamond, understanding the 4Cs is essential. These four characteristics—Cut, Clarity, Colour, and Carat—are the universal standard for assessing diamond quality.
The cut of a diamond refers to how well the stone has been shaped and faceted. A well-cut diamond will reflect light beautifully, creating that coveted sparkle. Cut grades range from Excellent to Poor.
Clarity measures the presence of internal inclusions and external blemishes. Most diamonds have some imperfections, but many are invisible to the naked eye.
Diamond colour is graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Colourless diamonds are the rarest and most valuable.
Carat refers to the diamond’s weight, not its size. One carat equals 200 milligrams. Larger diamonds are rarer and more valuable.
