Gemstone grading

Gemstone grading assesses a stone’s quality based on key factors: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight, known as the 4Cs. Color refers to hue, tone, and saturation; clarity measures internal flaws and inclusions; cut evaluates how well the gemstone has been shaped and faceted, affecting its brilliance; and carat indicates size or weight. Grading helps determine a gemstone's value and desirability, providing a standardized way to compare stones. Professional grading reports offer an objective evaluation, ensuring buyers understand the gemstone’s quality characteristics comprehensively.
