THE QUALITY OF DIAMONDS - THE 4 C's
CLARITY
This refers to the interior and exterior inclusions and surface markings. A diamond is flawless when a diamond is free of inclusions, because nothing interferes with the passage of light or spoils the beauty.
CUT
A good cut gives maximum reflection and sparkle. A diamond is cut to reflect light. Most diamonds are brilliant cut with 58 facets, but also come in other shapes, ranging from the princess cut to the heart shape.
COLOUR
The most prized diamonds are colourless because they allow more light through and therefore sparkle more. Diamonds are graded according to GIA standards from D-Z in colour with D being the most valuable and sought after colour (can be known as blue white) and Z being yellowish in colour.
CARAT
Size does count. However, bigger isn't always better, a smaller diamond may be better in terms of cut, clarity and colour.
