4 C's of DIAMONDS!
What are the 4Cs of a diamond?
4 C's of a Diamond stand for Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat Weight.
CUT
Of all the 4Cs, Cut has the greatest effect on a diamond’s beauty. In determining the quality of the cut, the diamond grader evaluates the cutter’s skill in the fashioning of the diamond. The more precise the cut, the more captivating the diamond is to the eye.
Look at the image of different cuts
COLOR
Color Gem-quality diamonds occur in many hues. In the range from colorless to light yellow or light brown. Colorless diamonds are the rarest.
Other natural colors (blue, red, pink for example) are known as "fancy”, and their color grading is different than from white colorless diamonds.
Look at the chart showing the Color grades of Diamonds.
CLARITY
Diamonds can have internal characteristics known as inclusions or external characteristics known as blemishes.
Diamonds without inclusions or blemishes are rare; however, most characteristics can only be seen with magnification.
CARAT
The carat is the diamond’s physical weight measured in metric carats. One carat equals 1/5 gram and is subdivided into 100 points. Carat weight is the most objective grade of the 4Cs.
