Beautiful, Rare, Cherished, Each diamond is unique and is a miracle of time, place and change. Diamonds are renowned for their ability to transmit light and sparkle so intensely and each has specific qualities that establish its value. Let’s learn about the diamond traits and the 4C’s

First Start off with shape

When deciding on a diamond the first issue to decide on is the shape. Diamonds provide a huge form of shapes, each of that is unique to the persona and flavor of its wearer. We often think of a diamond’s cut as shape (round, emerald, princess, pear).

Cut

Cut is crucial to the diamond’s final beauty and value. Precise artistry and workmanship are required to fashion a diamond so its proportions, symmetry, and polish deliver the magnificent return of light possible in a diamond. It brings the Brightness, Fire and the True Scintillations of a diamond. We make certain that we get the exceptional cut of our products through our sources.

Clarity

Clarity of a diamond implies purity; clarity involves determining the number, size, relief, nature, and position of these characteristics, as well as how these affect the overall appearance of a diamond. Our products showcase the diamond in its clearest form.

Colour

Colour evaluation is based on the absence of colour. A pure and structurally perfect diamond has no hue, like a drop of pure water, and consequently, a higher value.

Carat (Weight)

 Diamond carat weight is the estimation of how much a diamond weighs.  A metric “carat” is defined as 200 milligrams. Each carat can be partitioned into 100 ‘cents’. This allows very precise measurements to the hundredth decimal place.

 A jeweller may describe the weight of a diamond below one carat by its ‘cents’ alone. For instance, the jeweller may refer to a diamond that weighs

  • 25 carats as a ‘twenty-five cents’
  • 70 carats as ‘seventy cents’

Diamond weights greater than one carat are expressed in carats and cents.

  • 80 carat stone would be described as ‘one carat and eighty cents’
  • 44 carat stone would be described as ‘one carat and forty four cents’

All else being equal, diamond price increases with carat weight, because larger diamonds are rarer and more desirable. But two diamonds of equal carat weight can have very different prices depending on three other factors within the 4Cs: Clarity, Colour, and Cut. It’s essential to recollect that a diamonds worth is resolved utilizing the entirety of the 4Cs, not simply carat weight.
