The Four C's of Diamonds
Carat Weight: 0.52ct
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond and is a measure of its size. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams, or 200 milligrams. The carat weight of a diamond affects its price, with larger diamonds typically being more valuable. However, other factors such as colour, clarity, and cut can also have a significant impact on a diamond’s overall value.

Colour: I
Colour is a measure of the presence of any hue other than pure white in a diamond. The Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) uses a scale from D (no hue) to Z (yellow or brown hue) to grade a diamond’s colour. A diamond with no hue is rare and more valuable, while a diamond with a yellow or brown hue is less valuable. The GIA recommends that diamonds with a grade of D to F (no hue to a slight hue) be considered for engagement rings because they have the best colour appearance.

Cut: Very Good
The Cut of a diamond refers to how well the diamond has been cut and shaped, which affects its brightness, fire (the display of rainbow colours), and overall appearance. The GIA uses a 5-point scale to grade cut, from Excellent to Poor. A well-cut diamond will reflect light in a way that enhances its beauty and is more valuable. The cut of a diamond is often considered the most important of the Four Cs because it has the biggest impact on the diamond’s overall beauty.

Clarity: VS1
Clarity is a measure of the number and size of inclusions (internal imperfections) and blemishes (external imperfections) in a diamond. The GIA uses a 6-point scale to grade clarity, from Flawless (no inclusions or blemishes visible under 10x magnification) to Included (inclusions and blemishes visible to the naked eye). The higher the clarity grade, the more rare and valuable the diamond is.
