1. Understand the 4Cs

When selecting a diamond, it's essential to consider the 4Cs: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. These factors determine the diamond's quality and value.

• Cut: Determines brilliance based on how well the diamond is shaped.
• Color: Ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown).
• Clarity: Measures imperfections inside or outside the diamond.
• Carat Weight: Represents the diamond's size.
