The 4 Cs Explained

Gemmologists and jewellers assess the physical attributes of diamonds using the 4Cs classification system – cut, carat, colour and clarity. 
 

The 4Cs classification enables the comparison and valuation of diamonds.  No one 'C' is more significant than another, and none will diminish in value over time.
 

A diamond’s beauty is based on far more than these characteristics.  Each one was formed billions of years ago and has travelled a long and arduous journey from deep within the Earth.  
 

And while most of a diamonds’ qualities are defined by nature, it takes a master craftsman to unlock the diamond’s true brilliance, fire and beauty.
