THE FOUR C'S
The 4Cs of diamond grading are; color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. In this article we will provide a few details to help you understand a bit more about each of these quality characteristics and what they mean to the overall look and value of a diamond. White Suede will give you all the details to help you make the best decision for you!
CUT
Some people think that cut refers to the shape of a stone, but it has to do with its symmetry, proportions, and polish. How stones are cut will significantly impact how much light shines from each facet and their fire or brilliance, which can make for an exceptional amount when considering both the color and clarity qualities.
COLOR
The diamond color refers to the absence of color. The clearer or "whiter" the diamond, the rarer and more valuable it is. Color affects the beauty of a diamond in two ways. First, it affects the way light reflects on the facets and travels through the stone; the clearer the diamond, the brighter and more dazzling the diamond will be.
CARAT
Carats is used to describe the weight of gems. A carat is defined as 200 milligrams, and each one can be subdivided into 100 points, which allows for exact measurements down to a hundredth decimal place. For example, something that is described as a ¼ carat diamond could be .23ct or .26ct – also referred to as a 23-point or 26-point diamond.
CLARITY
When we speak of diamond clarity, we refer to the absence of inclusions, imperfections, or other identifying marks that can be seen in the stone either with magnification or the unaided eye. We believe in serving our customers with exceptional products that will never disappoint them. The two main categories are identifying marks in diamonds: inclusions or blemishes.
