Guide to the Four C's
1. Cut -------------------------- .The Ideal Cut Diamond describes a round brilliant diamond that has been cut to exact and mathematically proven proportions. Its symmetry, with 58 exactly placed facets, produces the ultimate in lustre and beauty. When a round brilliant diamond has been cut to "Ideal" proportions by a master cutter, it is a magnificent gem.
2. Color -------------------------- Most diamonds, although appearing colorless, actually have slight tones of yellow or brown. As these tones become more easily apparent, the uniqueness and cost decrease.
3. Clarity -------------------------- Practically all diamonds contain naturally occurring internal characteristics called inclusions. The size, location and number of inclusions determine a diamond's clarity and grade, and affect its cost. One unique advantage of the Ideal Cut is that its sparkle can mask otherwise noticeable inclusions.
4. Carat Weight -------------------------- The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. One carat is divided into100 parts called "points," 1 ct.=100 points; 2 ct.=200 points. The value of two diamonds of the same weight can vary greatly depending on the color, clarity and especially the cut. The value of a diamond can vary as much as 40% based on the cutting alone.
