The 4 Cs

Starting from the basics, the quality of a diamond is determined by four factors commonly known as the "4 Cs", Carat, Clarity, Color, and Cut.  Diamond professionals use these four factors to describe, classify, and value diamonds. When taken together, they help in evaluate the diamonds quality. A diamonds Carat weight, Clarity, and Color are very straightforward and will be explained here.  However, evaluation of Cut quality is much more difficult.

The difference between a diamond that has that has a incredible fire and sparkle (a WOW stone) and a diamond that is glasslike is primarily to the cut. An "excellent" cut, a "good" cut, and a "bad" cut can be subtle to the untrained eye, but will make a huge difference in terms of the value and beauty of the stone. An unethical jeweler will sell you a heavy stone with superb clarity and color for an unbelievably low price and still make a substantial profit, if the cut -- is inferior! A premium diamond jewelry wholesaler EROS Diamonds HIGHLY recommends only very good to excellent cut diamonds for their clients.
