When buying a diamond engagement ring or Moissanite Wedding Rings, you should know the 4Cs: Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight. In addition to allowing you to compare diamonds, the 4Cs were created to measure diamond quality worldwide and you can also consider it while buying Moissanite Wedding Sets.
Briefly, the 4Cs are:
Color:
The color of a diamond is graded from D to Z, where D indicates complete colorlessness, while Z indicates light yellow or brown color. Rarer and more valuable are diamonds with less color in this color range.
Clarity:
The clarity of a diamond is determined by its absence of inclusions or blemishes on its surface. In terms of clarity, there are nine grades, starting with Flawless and ending with Included.
Cut:
How well a diamond interacts with light is determined by its cut. Diamonds are bright (or brilliance), scintillating (or sparkle) and fiery (or flashes of color) based on their proportions, symmetry, and polish.
Carat Weight:
In diamonds, the carat weight determines their apparent size. Diamonds with greater carat weights are generally rarer and more valuable, assuming all other Cs are equivalent.
After you understand the 4Cs, you should ask yourself, “Which C is most meaningful to me?” If you prioritize the 4Cs, you will be able to quickly eliminate some diamonds from your search and find the diamond that matches your needs. Additionally, you will be able to determine which C you are willing to spend more on and which you are willing to compromise on, so you can work within your budget.
