Quality Diamonds

Cut, color, clarity and carat weight affect the quality and beauty of diamonds. These gemological attributes are the basis of the price of diamonds. Diamond certification and quality grading focus on THE 4 C's:

  • Cut brilliance is the result of diamond proportions and finish
  • Color grading is based on colorlessness of a diamond
  • Clarity grading is the appearance of flawlessness
  • Carat weight is the appearance of size
