The 4 Cs
Understanding the 4 Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight—is essential when buying a diamond. These four characteristics determine a diamond’s quality and value.
- Cut refers to how well a diamond’s facets interact with light. It’s about sparkle and brilliance.
- Color ranges from colorless to slightly yellow; the less color, the more valuable.
- Clarity measures the presence of internal or external imperfections.
-
Carat Weight indicates the size of the diamond.
