Cut

A beautifully finished diamond is dazzling, with every facet displaying the craftsman’s skill and care. When a diamond interacts with light, every angle and every facet affect the amount of light returned to the eye. This is what gives it its face-up appearance. The result is a magnificent display of three attributes. Brightness is the combination of all white light reflecting from the surface and interior of a diamond. Fire describes the “flares” of color emitted from a diamond. Scintillation describes the flashes of light you see when the diamond, the light, or the observer moves.

Color

The diamond color evaluation of most gem-quality diamonds is based on the absence of color. A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond has no hue, like a drop of pure water, and consequently, a higher value. GIA’s D-to-Z diamond color-grading system measures the degree of colorlessness by comparing a stone under controlled lighting and precise viewing conditions to master stones of established color value. Colorless diamonds are scarce—most diamonds have tints of yellow or brown. So, a colorless diamond rates higher on the color grading scale than a diamond that is light yellow.

Clarity

Diamonds are a natural formation and few things in nature are absolutely perfect. This is as true of diamonds as anything else. Natural diamonds are the result of carbon exposed to tremendous heat and pressure deep in the earth. Diamonds have internal features, called inclusions, and surface irregularities, called blemishes. Together, they’re called clarity characteristics. Clarity is the relative absence of inclusions and blemishes. Among other things, blemishes include scratches and nicks on a diamond’s surface. Inclusions are generally on the inside, and some might break the surface of the stone.

Carrat Weight

Diamond carat weight is the measurement of how much a diamond weighs. A metric “carat” is defined as 200 milligrams. Each carat can be subdivided into 100 ‘points’. This allows very precise measurements to the hundredth decimal place. All else being equal, diamond price increases with diamond carat weight, because larger diamonds are rarer and more desirable. But two diamonds of equal carat weight can have very different values (and prices) depending on the three other factors of the diamond 4Cs: Clarity, Color, and Cut.
