Diamond's 4Cs
Understanding the 4Cs
There were no common standards for grading diamonds until the middle of the twentieth century. GIA created the 4Cs, which are now widely used around the world. A system of grading diamonds that is used to express the quality of all diamonds.
The 4Cs are now recognized and utilized as an international standard for grading diamonds all over the world. Color, Clarity, Cutas, and Carat are the four categories that make up the 4Cs.
You will be able to make more precise decisions and have a better idea of the type of Diamond you are looking for if you know the 4Cs of a Diamond.
Colour
The GIA's Diamond Color-Grading Scale has long been considered the industry standard. The scale starts with the letter D, which stands for colorless, and progresses to the letter Z, which stands for pale yellow or brown.
Each letter grade has its own range of color appearance. Under controlled lighting and precise viewing conditions, diamonds are color-graded by comparing them to stones of known colors.
Many of these color distinctions are so subtle that the untrained eye will miss them. However, even minor variances result in a significant difference in Diamond Quality and Price.
