This short tutorial explains the 4Cs of Diamonds - cut, color, clarity, and carat weight -the most important characteristics to understand when making a diamond purchase.
The most important of the 4Cs is cut because it has the greatest influence on a diamond's sparkle.
The second most important of the 4Cs is color, which refers to a diamond's lack of color. The less color, the higher the grade.
Often the least important of the 4Cs because the tiny imperfections are often microscopic. Diamond clarity is the assessment of small imperfections on the surface and internally.
