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 of colorlessness of a diamond

    Clarity grading is the appearance of flawlessness

    Carat weight is the appearance of size
