The 5 Cs
A diamonds quality is determined by four factors commonly known
as the four C's, Cut, 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.
For the consumer there a additional very important "C"
called Cost. The carat weight, clarity, color are very straightforward
and will be explained here. However, evaluation of Cut quality
is much more difficult. This is where a expert advice from a diamond
professional can be extremely valuable.
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 due 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 unscrupulous jeweler will sell you a large
stone with superb clarity and color but with an inferior cut for
an unbelievably low price and still make a substantial profit!
