The 4Cs of Diamonds

Whether natural or lab-grown, every diamond is graded using the globally accepted 4Cs standard developed by the GIA: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat.

Together, these four factors determine a diamond’s beauty, rarity and value. Understanding them will help you choose a diamond that balances brilliance, size and budget in the way that matters most to you.

1. Cut

  • Determines how well a diamond reflects and returns light.
  • Grades typically range from Excellent to Poor.
  • A well-cut diamond can appear brighter than a larger, poorly cut stone.

2. Color

  • Refers to the absence of body color in a diamond.
  • Graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow).
  • The less color a diamond has, the higher its grade and value.

3. Clarity

  • Indicates the presence or absence of internal inclusions or external blemishes.
  • Grades range from Flawless (FL) to Included (I1–I3).
  • Most inclusions are microscopic and do not affect beauty to the naked eye.
