When you are in the market to buy a diamond, it is important to know how diamonds are graded so that you can find the best stone for your budget and purpose. From picking out a dazzling diamond for the center stone of an engagement ring or a beautiful diamond tennis bracelet for yourself, understanding the 4 C’s of diamonds with assistance from our professional Damiani Jewellers will make you feel more comfortable on your diamond shopping journey.

Clarity

The clarity of a diamond refers to any inclusions or blemishes that may have occurred within the stone. Inclusions are when the imperfections are inside the stone, and blemishes are along the surface of the gem. The amount of imperfections sets the grade for the diamond between flawless(FL) to I3, the least desirable on the range.

Colour

The most wanted and valuable diamonds are colourless, but every diamond is graded against a standardized diamond colour chart ranging from D-Z. Diamonds that rank as D, E, or F are considered colourless while all other diamonds are then considered near colourless or faintly yellow.

Cut

The cut of a diamond is one of the most recognizable distinctions of a stone’s sparkle and beauty. An “Ideal,” or “Excellent,” cut reflects the most light through the diamond to create the right balance of light and shadow. Each shape of diamond used for jewellery is cut to proportions that will best serve the awe factor as light plays off the diamonds worn.

Carat

The unit of measurement to refer to the weight of a diamond is a carat. How large a diamond is does not mean size, but instead the carat weight of the diamond in question. The carat weight most affects the price of diamonds when shopping.
