What are Diamond 4Cs?

The 4Cs refer to a diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight. These four factors determine a diamond’s overall appearance as well as its value.

Diamond cut refers to the arrangement of a diamond’s facets and affects how light enters and exits the diamond.

Diamond color refers to the absence of color; the closer to colorless a white diamond is, the rarer and more valuable it becomes.

Diamond clarity refers to the visual purity of a diamond and is determined by the number of inclusions.

Diamond carat refers to the diamond’s weight; the higher the carat weight, the more valuable a diamond becomes.

Understanding the 4Cs will help you choose the right diamond. Color is often influenced by the metal and design a diamond is set in. Clarity becomes more important based on your choice of diamond shape.
