The Four C’s of Diamonds
When purchasing diamonds it is important to become familiar with the four classifications of the precious gem. Cut, color, clarity and carat-weight are four qualities to take into account before purchasing any diamond.
The cut of a diamond refers to the precision taken when making the angles, or facets. This is extremely important to the beauty of a diamonds as it allows light to be equally dispersed and reflected back through the facets at the top of the diamond. When a cut is made either too deep or too shallow, light is able to escape through the bottom of the diamond and the maximum beauty of the diamond is never fully achieved.
A perfect diamond is one that is colorless. The Gemological Institute of America rates diamonds on a scale of D (colorless) to Z (yellow). A colorless diamond allows light to pass more easily, dispersing it as all colors of the rainbow. This reflection is the signature of a perfect color diamond.
The clarity of a diamond is determined by the number of natural imperfections present. These “birthmarks” are knows as inclusions and can hinder the amount of light that is able to pass through the diamond. A diamond free of any inclusions such as exterior marks or interior cloudiness is very rare, and therefore very valuable.
Perhaps the most well-known classification of diamonds is carat, or weight. As the weight of a diamond increases, so does its value. One carat is equal to 1/5th of a gram, and sub divided into 100 “points”.
With so many factors to consider when searching for the perfect diamond, it is safe to say it is a process worth plenty of in depth research and studying.
