Understand the 4Cs of Diamonds

The 4Cs — Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat — are the universal standard for evaluating diamonds.

  • Cut: Determines sparkle.

  • Color: Ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow/brown).

  • Clarity: Refers to how flawless the diamond is.

  • Carat: The weight/size of the stone.

By understanding the 4Cs, you can make an informed decision and find a diamond that not only fits your budget but also sparkles in every light.
