Diamond

The Ultimate Gemstone for Brilliance & Investment

The 4 Cs of Diamond Quality

Are the global standard for evaluating diamond quality.
Understanding these factors ensures you choose a diamond that balances brilliance and value.

Carat Weight

Carat weight measures the diamond's size, with 1 carat equal to 0.2 grams. While larger diamonds are more valuable, a well-cut diamond may appear larger than one with a higher carat weight but inferior cut.

Colour

Diamond color is graded from D (completely colorless) to Z (noticeable yellow or brown tint). Colorless diamonds are the most prized for their icy brilliance.

Clarity

Clarity refers to the presence of internal flaws (inclusions) and surface imperfections (blemishes).

Cut

Cut quality directly impacts a diamond’s brilliance, sparkle, and overall beauty
