The 4Cs
Cut
Diamond cut refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and faceted from its rough form. The only specification made by human hands.
Color
A diamond’s color grade measures how white or colorless it is. Less color means higher quality. D means that a diamond is colorless.
carat
Carat is a diamond’s weight and the system used to measure diamonds. Bigger isn’t always better, cut and setting also affect how large it looks.
clarity
Clarity refers to the tiny natural marks called inclusions that are inside a diamond. Stones that look flawless to the eye are the most rare.

How do the 4 C's work together?
The Four C’s are interdependent. For example, a well-cut diamond may appear larger and brighter than a heavier carat stone with a poor cut. Finding the right balance ensures a diamond that looks stunning and fits your priorities.
Can I prioritize one C over the others?
Can I prioritize one C over the others?
