Cut – Diamonds are cut in different shapes to accentuate their brilliant sparkle.
Color – The more colorless the white diamond the more precious it is considered; fancy, colored diamonds are judged on a different scale.
Clarity – Perfectly clear diamonds are incredibly rare and therefore, much more expensive. Diamonds with scratches, traces of minerals and other flaws are natural, but detract from the clarity.
Carat – The total carat weight is the weight of all the diamonds in your piece of jewelry.
More information about the 4 C’s can be found on the internet or by speaking with a diamond care specialist.
