What should a buyer be aware of before buying a loose diamond or diamond jewelry? Well, there’s a lot to know about diamonds, but it’s the 4 “C’s” of diamonds that truly determine a diamond’s worth. The 4 “C’s” are color, clarity, cut, and carats:

Color

The color of a diamond can vary from yellow, brown, rare pinks, blues, and other fancy colors in between. Despite the appeal of the rainbow like selection of colors, the best color a diamond can be is no color at all. Clear or colorless diamonds allow light to pass through easier and disperse the light as a rainbow of color.

Clarity

A trained eye, using a power magnifier can determine a diamond’s clarity. There are two kinds of marks that can hinder the clarity of a diamond, blemishes (marks on the surface) and inclusions (marks inside). The majority of diamonds have inclusions, or natural marks within the diamond. The more inclusions a diamond contains, and the larger their size, the more likely the inclusions will interfere with the ability of light to pass through the diamond. This affects the beauty of the diamond. A blemish and inclusion free diamond is a rarity and therefore more valuable. A clear diamond is a clearly better choice.

Cut

“Cut” is the only “C” that humans have any control over. In turn, cut can determine the overall beauty and value of the diamond. A proper cut is what really makes a diamond sparkle and shine.

Carat-weight

In the diamond world, bigger does not always mean better. Diamonds of equal size and weight can easily have different values due to their cut, color, and clarity. Superior quality can be seen in diamonds of all shapes and sizes. The weight by which a diamond is measured are carats. Think of carat weight as the only weight a woman wants to put on.

Because of their classic style and adaptability, diamonds tend to keep up with both new fashion trends and vintage throwbacks.
