The Diamond 4 Cs

A diamond's value is predominantly determined by 4 factors, commonly known as the 4 Cs. These include colour, clarity, carat and cut. Whilst purchasing any diamond jewellery, it is important to understand why two diamonds that look the same may differ significantly in terms of value. The following section will help you understand the 4 Cs in more detail:

Diamond colour
Diamonds naturally vary in colour however majority on the market being sold are near colourless. As per the GIA scale of colour diamond colour is graded from D, which has the least colour, through the alphabet to Z, which has a light yellow colour. Truly colourless diamonds (D) are treasured for their rarity.

Diamond Cut
The cut of a diamond refers to their proportion and finish and shouldn't be confused with the finishing shape of the diamond. Our Skilled craftsmen transform a rough diamond to a gleaming polished diamond. Symmetry, proportion and how the diamond is polished will all determine the quality of the cut.

Diamond carat
Diamonds are mostly graded by carat. Carat is the weight of the diamond. Carats are split into points, where 100 points are equal to one carat.

½ carat diamond – 50 point or 0.50 carat diamond

¼ carat diamond – 25 point or 0.25 carat diamond

When there is more than one diamond on a piece of jewellery such as on a diamond cluster ring, the stones are weighed together rather than individually. The carat weight does not reflect the size of a diamond. When buying diamond jewellery, the most appealing factor is likely to be the carat weight of a diamond. However, always keep in mind that the cut will also determine the value of a diamond.

Diamond clarity
The clarity of a diamond refers to the inclusions of the diamond. Diamond inclusions is what occurs inside the gemstone itself. It is fairly common for diamonds to have natural flaws. Inclusions are natural and are rated on a clarity scale and if the diamonds have fewer inclusions the clarity is better.

1. Choose your diamond shape.
There are many diamond cuts out there, you need to find the one that suites your personality. Comparing shapes would be pointless if you don't know what might suit you. Rings and pendants have a different feel and cuts when it comes to design and elegance.

2. Verify your Certificate
Always verify the certificate that you have been presented with. Ensure that you choose the right jewellers. Always make sure that certified jewellery gives you more confidence on the jewellery that you are buying.

3. The Cost
Always remember what is most expensive is not the best, you need to check what is your style. Always remember you buying something of great value which can be passed down for many generations.
