Diamond Education

The 4 C's

Understanding these standards helps you compare diamonds clearly and buy with confidence.

Cut

The cut controls brilliance and sparkle. Excellent symmetry and proportion improve light return.

Color

Diamond color grades indicate how little tint is present. Less color generally means higher value.

Clarity

Clarity describes natural inclusions and blemishes. Eye-clean stones are a practical premium choice.

Carat

Carat measures weight, not face-up size. Balance carat with cut quality for the best visual impact.
