You may be familiar with the terms of diamond qualities. Throughout the world the "4 C's" are used to classify the rarity of diamonds Cut, Colour, Carat and Clarity.

Refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond that the master cutter will use to reveal the stone's true brilliance, there are many shapes of diamonds, the most popular being brilliant, princess, marquis, emerald and pear all of which need to be cut in perfect proportions.

The greater the diamond's clarity, the more brilliant, valuable and rare it is.

This refers to the degree to which a diamond is colourless. The higher the grade the rarer the diamond.

In a properly cut diamond the carat weight determines the size of the stone. A diamond with a good cut, clarity and colour is of higher value than a lower quality higher carat weight.

The quality of a diamond is the 4C's coming together; if the colour is right and clarity is good a properly cut stone will give an amazing sparkle called brilliance and rightly so, this is what makes a high quality diamond, the carat will determine the size.

If a diamond is marked or badly cut the light going through the top will either not make the back to reflect or will reflect at the wrong angle, the result will be a poor sparkle no matter what the carat weight is.
