Diamonds: What to Know Before You Buy
Diamonds are one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world, valued for their brilliance, durability, and timeless appeal.
The 4Cs of Diamonds
Understanding the 4Cs is the foundation of choosing the right diamond:
- Cut — The most important factor. It determines how well a diamond reflects light and creates sparkle.
- Color — How colorless the diamond appears.
- Clarity — The presence of natural inclusions or imperfections.
- Carat — The size and weight of the diamond.
These four characteristics work together to determine a diamond’s overall beauty and value.
Why Cut Matters Most
A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully and appears bright and lively, while a poorly cut diamond can look dull — regardless of size or clarity.
