FOUR CS
These are the four characteristics used to determine a diamond’s value. The four Cs are:
- Cut refers to the diamond's reflective properties.
- Clarity refers to the occurrence of inner flaws or inclusions in the diamond.
- Color refers to the presence or absence of a diamond's color. Colorless diamonds allow more light to pass through than colored diamonds.
- Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. Larger diamonds are exponentially more valuable because of their rarity.
