How to choose the perfect diamond?
Four qualities of a diamond: 4C
To choose the perfect diamond, it is important to look at four key characteristics, known as the 4Cs: Cut (cut), Color (color), Clarity (clarity) and Carat (carat).
- Cut (cut): The cut of a diamond affects its brilliance. The most popular cuts are round (brilliant), princess, oval, marquise, pear and emerald. The brilliant cut is the most common choice because it reflects light best.
- Color (color): Diamonds are graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (yellowish). Colorless diamonds are the most valuable, but diamonds with delicate coloring also have their charms.
- Clarity (purity): The clarity of a diamond depends on the number, size and location of internal and external imperfections. The fewer the defects, the higher the value of the diamond.
- Carat (carat): A carat is a unit of a diamond’s weight. Larger diamonds are rarer and more expensive, but keep in mind that two diamonds of the same weight can have different values, depending on other characteristics.
