Diamond Engagement Rings - What Are the 4Cs?

CARAT: Carat: The size of the stone is referred as carat. Because they feel that it is a selected piece of jewel as it symbolizes love in its purest form most of them don't look at the size of the diamond gemstone. But there are some for whom it's more of a social standing to flaunt a huge stone on the finger than anything else.

COLOUR: Color - The color of the diamond is another factor that should be viewed when determining it's worth. Not all diamonds are clear in shade, and some have a yellowish colour to them. The color scale commences at H, E, F, G, D and I ranges, which represent colorless (crystalline) diamond, D being the most colorless. After that, L, K and J signify a diamond which is near colorless. R, N, O, P, Q and M signify a faint light yellow diamond, and the T, S, U, V, W, X, Y and Z letters stand for a light yellow diamond.

CLARITY: The most uncommon clarity grades are F or FL (flawless) and IF (internally flawless), diamond of the grades are a lot more precious since they don't happen as commonly in character. The next greatest clarity grades are VVS (very, very slightly included) and VERSUS (very slightly included). These diamond are more typical and sought after since they are more cost-effective than flawless diamond but still have extremely small inclusions, most of which could only be seen under magnification by an experienced grader. Probably the most common clarity level is SI (slightly included). Diamond of this clarity are still considered "eye-clean" and provide an economical alternative. The lowest clarity grade, I (imperfect), has more obvious inclusions which may affect the brilliance of the diamond.

CUT: The cut of a diamond might be one of the most significant of the Four C's, and can enhance the overall quality, value, and attractiveness of this diamond. There are lots of different cuts, each having a particular effect.
