4Cs of Diamonds

The 4Cs of diamonds—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat weight—are standards used to evaluate a diamond's quality. "Cut" refers to how well the diamond is shaped and faceted, affecting its sparkle. "Color" measures how free the diamond is from color, with a scale from colorless to light yellow or brown. "Clarity" assesses the presence of internal flaws or blemishes, with fewer imperfections being more valuable. "Carat" indicates the diamond's weight, with larger stones generally more expensive. Together, these factors determine a diamond's overall beauty and value.
