Understanding Diamonds: A Guide for All Ages

Diamonds have captivated human imagination for centuries. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced gem enthusiast, understanding the four Cs—cut, clarity, color, and carat—is crucial.

The Four Cs of Diamonds

The cut of a diamond affects its brilliance. A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully. The clarity refers to the absence of inclusions and blemishes. While most diamonds have imperfections, many are not visible to the naked eye. The color ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Finally, carat measures the diamond’s weight.

Tips for Beginners in Diamond Selection

  • Prioritize cut over other factors as it influences sparkle.
  • Aim for a balance between size and quality within your budget.
