If you ever wonder how diamond professionals determined the grades of a diamond, then you’re lucky to be on this page. The professionals use parameters called “The Four C’s”:

Color - one important principle in diamond’s color is “the less color, the better”. GIA create diamond’s color grading scale from “D” to “Z”, where “D” is given for the less color and “Z” is for the most color. It’s really obvious that “D” would have most expensive rate for a diamond.

Clarity - no body’s perfect. That’s apply also for diamond. Clarity would be much affected by scratches and irregularities on the diamond’s surface. The more clarity is, then more expensive it should be.

Cut - this factor is much related with the shape of a diamond. Proportions and symmetry are important factor, since these would determined sparkle degree when showing in light. Different ways of cutting diamond would result in different light reflections. Some shapes in common are emerald, marquis, pear, oval, round or even heart shaped.

Carat - standard unit measurement of weight for gems. Bigger diamond would absolutely has higher carats number, which means more expensive also.
