Understanding Diamond Quality "The 4C’s":
Every diamond is graded based on the 4C’s—a universal standard created by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
These four factors determine a diamond’s beauty, rarity, and value.
Cut
– The most important factor. Cut determines how well a diamond reflects light, directly affecting brilliance and sparkle. Even a flawless diamond can appear dull if it’s poorly cut.
Color
– Refers to how colorless a diamond is. Graded from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Most of our diamonds fall within the D–G range for a bright, white appearance.
Clarity
– Measures the number and visibility of inclusions and blemishes. Ranges from Flawless (F) to Included (I). Our Signature and Premier diamonds fall in the SI1 to VVS range, offering excellent visual clarity.
Carat Weight
– The weight of the diamond. Carat affects the size, but it’s not the only factor in a diamond’s visual presence. A smaller, well-cut diamond can often shine brighter than a larger, poorly cut one.
