Understanding the 4Cs of diamond quality.

Cut

The most important factor. Grades from Excellent to Poor.

Color

Graded D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). G-I offers excellent value.

Clarity

FL to I3. VS1-VS2 offers great value — inclusions invisible to naked eye.

Carat

One carat = 200mg. Larger diamonds are rarer per carat.
