Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat.

Diamond values are determined by taking into consideration these four factors

• Diamond Color: Color refers to the natural tint inherent in white diamonds. In nature, most white diamonds have a slight tint of yellow. The closer to being "colorless" a diamond is, the rarer it is. The industry standard for grading color is to evaluate each stone against a master set and assign a letter grade from "D" (colorless) to "Z" (light yellow).
• Diamond Carat: Carat denotes the weight of a diamond, not the size. Carat weight can appear differently across different diamond shapes such as round brilliant, princess, pear, oval, cushion, marquise, emerald, radiant or heart. A diamond may have a higher carat weight without appearing larger and two diamonds of the same carat weight can vary in size if one is cut deeper than the other. In other words, it is important to note that carat weight does not necessarily denote size
• Diamond Clarity: Diamond clarity is a measure of the purity and rarity of the stone, graded by the visibility of these characteristics under 10-power magnification. A stone is graded as flawless if, under 10-power magnification, no inclusions (internal flaws) and no blemishes (external imperfections) are visible.
• Diamond Cut: The most important of the 4Cs—cut—refers to how a diamond's facets interact with light. It is determined by symmetry, proportion and polish. More than any other factor, cut determines the beauty of the stone.
