The Four C's Of Your Diamond
Carat Weight: 0.50ct.
Carat weight measures the size and weight of a diamond, with 1 carat equal to 0.2 grams. Larger diamonds are rarer and generally more valuable, but size alone doesn’t determine quality. The overall beauty of a diamond depends on its cut, color, and clarity as well. A well-cut smaller diamond can appear larger and more brilliant than a heavier diamond with a poor cut. Choosing the right carat weight depends on personal preference, budget, and setting style.

Colour: D
Diamonds are graded on a color scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The less color a diamond has, the higher its value, as colorless diamonds allow more light to pass through, maximizing brilliance and sparkle. F color diamonds are considered colorless, meaning they have minimal, nearly undetectable traces of color. While color differences can be subtle, they can significantly impact appearance and price, making near-colorless diamonds an excellent value choice.

Colour: D
Unlike natural diamonds, where colorless stones are more valuable, fancy color diamonds are prized for their vibrant hues, including yellow, pink, blue, and green. The value of a fancy color diamond is determined by its color intensity and saturation, with richer, more vivid hues being rarer and more valuable. These diamonds offer a striking and luxurious option for those seeking a unique and bold statement piece.

Cut: Good
A diamond’s cut is the most critical factor in determining its brilliance and sparkle. The way a diamond is faceted affects how light enters and reflects within the stone. A well-cut diamond will exhibit maximum fire and brightness, while a poorly cut one may appear dull. Cut quality is graded from Excellent to Poor, with Excellent cut diamonds reflecting nearly all light for superior brilliance.Excellent / Ideal – Maximum brilliance and light return.Very Good – Exceptional sparkle with minor differences in light performance.Good – Decent brilliance but may not reflect all light efficiently.Fair – Noticeable light leakage, reducing brilliance.Poor – Limited sparkle due to improper proportions.
Clarity: VS1
Clarity refers to internal inclusions and surface blemishes in a diamond. Since diamonds form under intense heat and pressure, most have tiny imperfections. These are graded from Flawless (no imperfections) to Included (visible inclusions). SI2 (Slightly Included 2) diamonds have small inclusions visible under 10x magnification, but many remain nearly invisible to the naked eye. Clarity is important, but well-placed inclusions may have minimal impact on a diamond’s beauty.
