Frequently Asked Questions
-
The 4C's stand for Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight. They are the global standard used to evaluate a diamond's quality, beauty, and value. Each C plays a unique role in how a diamond looks and how much it costs.
-
Cut refers to how well a diamond is shaped and faceted. It directly affects how much light the diamond reflects and sparkles. A well-cut diamond appears brighter and more brilliant, even if it has lower color or clarity.
-
Diamond color measures how colorless a diamond appears. The scale ranges from D (colorless) to Z (noticeable yellow or brown tint). Colorless diamonds are rarer and more valuable, but near-colorless diamonds (G–I) often offer excellent value with minimal visible difference.
-
Clarity refers to the presence of natural inclusions or blemishes inside a diamond. Grades range from Flawless (FL) to Included (I). Many diamonds have inclusions that are invisible to the naked eye, meaning you can choose a slightly lower clarity without affecting appearance.
-
Carat measures a diamond's weight, not its size. One carat equals 200 milligrams. Larger carat diamonds are rarer, but a well-cut smaller diamond can appear just as impressive.
-
While all 4C's are important, cut has the biggest impact on a diamond's sparkle and overall beauty. A well-balanced combination of all four ensures the best appearance and value.
