Unlock the Brilliance of the 4Cs

Master the essentials of Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat to choose the diamond that suits your style and budget.

What are 4cs ?

  • Cut – Sparkle & Brilliance

    A perfect cut unleashes maximum fire and brilliance, making the diamond truly dazzle.

  • Color – The Whiter, The Brighter

    Diamonds range from colorless (D) to light yellow (Z). The less color, the higher the grade and rarity.

  • Clarity – Inner Beauty

    Most are microscopic and don’t affect appearance. Higher clarity equals more purity and brilliance.

  • Carat – Size That Reflects You

    While larger diamonds are more noticeable, a well-cut smaller diamond can shine brighter.

Cut – The Sparkle Factor

The most important factor in a diamond’s beauty. A well-cut diamond reflects light perfectly, maximizing brilliance.

Color – The Whiter, The Rarer

Diamonds are graded from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). Near-colorless diamonds (G–H) are excellent value.

Clarity – Beauty in the Details

Clarity grades from FL (flawless) to I (included). VS1 or higher provides exceptional clarity without breaking the bank.

Carat – Find the Right Size

Carat measures weight, not size alone. A balanced cut and setting can make a lower carat diamond look bigger.

FAQs – Your Diamond Questions Answered

Which of the 4Cs is most important?

Cut is considered the most important C because it directly affects a diamond’s brilliance and sparkle. Even a high-carat diamond with poor cut can appear dull.

Are all 4Cs equally important?

It depends on your priorities. Cut impacts brilliance the most, while carat impacts size. Clarity and color are more subjective focus on balance.

What diamond color grade offers the best value?

Near-colorless diamonds (G–H) offer exceptional visual beauty without the premium price of D–F color grades, making them a great value for money.

Can I see inclusions with the naked eye?

Most inclusions in diamonds with a clarity grade of VS1 or higher are not visible without magnification. These offer a clean look at a lower price than flawless stones.

What carat size should I choose?

Carat size depends on your personal style and budget. Remember: A well-cut 0.80ct can sparkle more than a poorly cut 1ct diamond.
