Learn The "4-C's" Of Diamonds

Diamond Carat

Diamond carat is a metric measurement of how much a diamond weighs. One carat is equal to 1/5 of a gram, or 200 milligrams, or 0.200 gram.

Diamond Color

Diamond pricing depends on the color present in a diamond. White diamonds are graded with respect to the absence of color in them.

Diamond Cut

Diamond’s cut can affect the brilliance and fire in a diamond. A deep cut or “built up” diamond and flat cut diamond both lose light when reflected in the sun.

Diamond Clarity

The clarity of a diamond is driven by its absence of flaws. The location, visibility, and nature of inclusions in a diamond affect the diamond’s clarity grade.
