1st C of Diamond
- Clarity
Clarity of a diamond signifies
its property of being free
from any imperfections in
its crystal structure and
inclusions that make each
diamond unique. Inclusions
can be crystals of other
material or another diamond
crystal. Imperfections in
the crystal structure can
be tiny cracks which can
lead to cloudy and whitish
appearance. The number,
size, location, orientation
and visibility of inclusions
can affect the clarity of
diamond. Many organizations
have developed systems to
grade clarity based on the
inclusions and imperfections.
Only a trained professional
can view these imperfections
viewed by magnification
of 10X.

2nd C of Diamond
- Color
Diamonds are found in nearly
all colors in nature; over
300 colors have been identified
in infinite numbers of shades
and hues. Yellow and brown
are the most common ones.
When the amount of impurity
in a diamond is near saturation
level, it gives diamond
a visibly different look
than the normal whitish
diamonds and therefore are
sometimes called fancy colored
diamonds by gem traders.
The other whitish diamonds
are graded in the range
of white diamonds.

3rd C of Diamond
- Cut
A diamond cut is considered
to be the most important
characteristic for judging
diamond quality. Even if
the mined diamond has good
clarity and desired color,
the cut determines the overall
look and feel of the gem.
Cutting a diamond works
like making finished product
(gemstone) out of raw material
(the mined diamond). A cut
refers to symmetry, polish
and proportioning more importantly
than the shape of cut (round,
oval, cushion, square etc).
A well cut diamond can even
hide defects and impurities
within and thus improve
brilliance and color of
the cut diamond, whereas
a poor cut diamond would
degrade a diamond’s value.

4th C of Diamond
- Carat Weight
Carat is used to measure
a diamond’s weight. It is
generally confused with
“karat" which is the measure
of purity of gold. A carat
equals 0.2 grams or 0.007
ounce. A diamond’s price
is determined by its carat
weight and the price per
carat. Total Price = Weight
x Price per Carat. All other
things being equal, the
greater the carat weight,
the rarer the diamond and
the more expensive it is.
Although bigger is assumed
to be better, diamonds of
all carat weight have equal
an charm.
