The 4 C's
Carat, Cut, Colour and Clarity; the 4Cs of Diamond Quality is the universal method by which diamonds are assessed. While a focus tends to be put on carat size, the quality of two stones of the same size can vary dramatically when cut, colour and clarity are taken into consideration…

CutContemplating cut involves much more than the shape – round, pear, oval – alone, it requires the careful planning of the proportions and positions of a diamond’s facets.
A well-cut diamond will see light reflected from one facet to another before it disperses through the top, maximising the diamond’s brilliance.
-
ColourNaturally varying in colour, diamonds are typically graded on the Gemological Institute of America scale of colour.
Starting from the truly colourless D, the scale follows the alphabet through to the light yellow Z.
-
CaratCarat size refers to the weight of the diamond, with one carat equating to 0.20 grams.
If there is more than one diamond in a piece of jewellery, the stones are weighed together rather than individually.
-
ClarityA diamond’s clarity takes both internal and external imperfections into account, so includes scratches and pits as well as naturally-occurring clouds or feathers within the stone.
Totally flawless diamonds are exceedingly rare, but diamonds are rated by an industry-standard scale.
