The 4Cs of diamonds is the universal method for assessing the quality of any diamond, anywhere in the world and is standard. All diamonds are rated based on the following: Color - most people believe diamonds to be clear or colorless, the majority of diamonds are yellow, brown, and black. The rarest of all diamond colors are white (or colorless). The Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.) grades color alphabetically from D (totally colorless) to Z (yellow).For a diamond to be considered “colorless,†the G.I.A. requires that it be a D, E, or F. However, the D-Z scale is continuous, so the difference between an F and G is very small. The average color for engagement diamonds in the retails industry is G to H. Carat weight - a carat is actually a standard unit of measure that defines the weight of a diamond. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams. Carat sizes are also expressed as “pointsâ€, with a one carat diamond equaling 100 points, a one-half carat diamond being 50 points, a three-quarter carat diamond being 75 points, and so on. Clarity - A diamond’s clarity refers to the presence of identifying characteristics on and within the diamond. Diamonds are graded for clarity under 10x loupe magnification. Clarity grades range from Internally Flawless, diamonds which are completely free of blemishes and inclusions even under 10 x magnifications, to Imperfect 3, diamonds which possess large, heavy blemishes and inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. Cut – that’s a reference to the diamond’s reflective qualities, not the shape. Diamond cut is perhaps the most important of the four Cs, so it is important to understand how this quality affects the properties and values of a diamond. A good cut gives a diamond its brilliance, which is that brightness that seems to come from the very heart of a diamond. The angles and finish of any diamond are what determine its ability to handle light, which leads to fire, brilliance & scintillation. A diamond certificate is issued by an accredited independent gemological laboratory. GIA – Gemological Institute of America provides a report for the 4 C’S which are cut, carat weight, color and clarity. Each diamond certificate issued is uniquely numbered and corresponds to one individual diamond. If you are going to spend on diamond you need to make sure that the source of the diamonds are authentic, that the cut, clarity, carat weight and color are analyzed according to what is being stated by the seller.
