The Four C's of Diamond Quality

 

Carat Weight:
Diamond size is determined by carat increments. A carat is 200miligrams, or 1/5 of a gram

 

 

 

 

 

Cut:
Refers to both the quality of the cut as well as the shape of the diamond. The Excellent Ideal Cut Diamond describes a round brilliant that has been cut to exact and mathematically proven proportions. The chart to the right shows a few of the diamond shapes available.


Color:
Most diamonds appear colorless but actually have slight tones of yellow or brown. The closer the stone comes to colorless, the more valuable it is. Diamonds are graded on a color scale ranging from D (colorless) to Z (heavily tinted.)
