THE 4Cs
CUT
The cut is one of the most important factors in a diamond’s beauty and brilliance. It determines how light enters and reflects within the stone, creating sparkle, fire and overall brightness. Even a high-quality diamond can appear dull if it is poorly cut, while an expertly cut diamond will maximise its brilliance and visual impact.
THE 4Cs
Carat
Carat describes the weight of a diamond, rather than simply its visible size. Larger carat weights are generally rarer, but a diamond’s beauty also depends on factors such as cut, proportions and overall balance. Two diamonds of the same carat weight may appear different in size depending on their shape and cut style.
THE 4Cs
COLOR
Diamond color is graded from colorless to warmer tones. The less color present in a white diamond, the rarer and more valuable it generally becomes. Subtle differences in color can influence the overall appearance of the stone, especially depending on the setting and metal chosen for the ring or jewellery piece.
THE 4Cs
CLARITY
Clarity refers to the natural characteristics formed within the diamond during its creation deep within the earth. These internal or external features are commonly known as inclusions and blemishes. Most are invisible to the naked eye, and many diamonds with minor inclusions still appear perfectly brilliant while offering excellent value.
