If you’re looking to invest in diamond jewelry, understanding the 4Cs is key and we’re here to guide you through it:
Cut
The key to unlocking a diamond’s full potential lies in its cut, as greater precision leads to a more captivating diamond. The quality of a diamond’s angles, proportions, symmetrical facets, and finishing details directly impact its ability to sparkle.
Color
Diamonds are graded on a scale from D to Z, with D being colorless and Z containing noticeable brown or yellow tint.
Clarity
A diamond’s clarity grade evaluates the presence of inclusions and blemishes, which are internal and external characteristics found within diamonds. It is rare to find diamonds that are completely free of these natural features.
Carat
Carat is a unit of measurement for diamond weight, with one carat equivalent to 0.2 grams. Having said that, the value of a diamond is not solely determined by its carat weight. Although larger diamonds are generally rarer and more desirable, other factors such as cut, color, and clarity play a role in determining a diamond’s overall value.
