Unlocking the 4C's
The 4 C's
Diamond Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight are collectively termed the 4Cs – the factors that, when combined, define a diamond’s quality and ultimately determine its value. GIA created the 4Cs of Diamond Quality, which has become the universal method for assessing the quality of any diamond, anywhere in the world. The creation of the 4Cs means that diamond quality can be communicated in a universal language so diamond purchasers know
exactly what they are buying.
No matter how beautiful a diamond may look you simply cannot see its true quality. Knowing more about the 4Cs of diamond quality will help you learn how to buy a diamond. The 4Cs provide you with the information you need to know to know the diamond’s actual quality.
Know the Diamond Shape
Diamond shape is one of the first factors considered while buying a Diamond. Shape is the face-up outline of a Diamond. While round diamonds make the popular choice, other shapes also have a distinctive look and are called ‘Fancy Diamonds’. Fancy Diamonds include Oval, Cushion, Princess, Pear, Emerald, Marquise, Ascher, Radiant and Heart shaped diamonds

What is Diamond Cut?
A diamond’s cut does not refer to a diamond’s shape, but to the proportion and arrangement of its facets and the quality of workmanship. The amount of brilliance, sparkle and fire in a diamond is determined by cut. Grades range from ‘Excellent’ to ‘Poor.’
