CUT

COLOR

CLARITY

CARAT

Cut, also known as "make," refers to how well-proportioned a diamond's

dimensions are. These proportions have the most significant impact on a diamond's overall beauty, sparkle, and worth. 

 

Color is all about what you can't see. Diamonds are valued by how closely they approach colorlessness – the less color, the higher their value.

 

Clarity refers to the appearance of a diamond's unique "birthmarks" or characteristics. Because diamonds form deep within the earth, under extreme heat and pressure, some contain distinctive blemishes and inclusions.

 

Carat weight refers to the diamond's size.
