The 4Cs of Choosing Your Diamond Stone
Diamonds are admired for their brilliance and beauty, and understanding the 4Cs is key to selecting the perfect stone. The 4Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat—form the global standard for evaluating diamond quality.
* Lab-grown diamonds consistently offer superior clarity and quality, so there’s no need to settle for less.
Here’s a guide to help you find a diamond that matches your style, occasion, and preferences.
1. Cut: The Sparkle Factor
What It Means
The cut refers to the craftsmanship involved in shaping and polishing the diamond, affecting how it captures and reflects light. A well-cut diamond maximizes brightness and sparkle, giving it that unmistakable dazzle. Cut grades range from Excellent to Poor.
Popular Cuts
Here are some of the most popular diamond cuts:
- Round Brilliant: The most popular cut, known for its exceptional sparkle and fire.
- Princess: A contemporary square shape that offers brilliance with clean lines.
- Emerald: Features a rectangular shape with step cuts, providing a sophisticated, vintage look.
- Radiant: Combines the elegance of the emerald cut with the brilliance of a round cut, ideal for those seeking a unique shape.
- Pear: A teardrop shape that can elongate the finger, offering a romantic appeal.
- Oval: Similar to the round cut but elongated, providing a larger appearance for its carat weight.
2. Color: Pure and Clear or Unique and Warm
What It Means
Diamond color actually refers to the absence of color. Most diamonds are graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light color), with colorless diamonds being the rarest and most valuable.

3. Clarity: Flawless or Character-Enhanced
What It Means
Clarity evaluates the presence of internal characteristics (inclusions) and surface blemishes. These natural features make each diamond unique. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I), with fewer inclusions considered more desirable.

In many cases, inclusions in these grades are not visible to the naked eye, offering a beautiful stone without a high premium.
4. Carat: The Size of Your Statement
What It Means
Carat refers to the diamond’s weight, with one carat equaling 0.2 grams. Carat is often associated with size, but a diamond’s visual appearance also depends on its cut, shape, and setting. Larger diamonds are typically rarer and thus, more valuable.
How to Choose
The ideal carat size depends on personal style and budget. For a larger look without sacrificing quality, you might consider a well-cut diamond slightly under a full carat, such as 0.90 carats, for a similar appearance at a lower price.
