WHAT ARE THE 4 C'S

Beautiful. Rare. Cherished. Each diamond is unique and is a miracle of time, place, and change. And each has specific qualities that establish its value.


Until the middle of the twentieth century, there was no agreed-upon standard by which diamonds could be judged. GIA created the first, and now globally accepted standard for describing diamonds: Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight. Today, the 4Cs of Diamond Quality is the universal method for assessing the quality of any diamond, anywhere in the world. The creation of the Diamond 4Cs meant two very important things: diamond quality could be communicated in a universal language, and diamond customers could now know exactly what they were about to purchase. The Four videos below cover each of the 4's

WHAT ARE CERTIFIED DIAMONDS

Many diamonds are certified by a laboratory, the laboratory will assess the diamond and give their opinion on all the factors of the diamond.  They will measure each angle and check each character of the diamond.  The four c's and all the above-mentioned factors will be assessed, analyzed, and put into a report.  
A laboratory certification adds value to the diamond and gives an impartial judgment of the diamond and all of its characteristics.  There are many different laboratories that can assess and provide a report, GIA is the most renowned certification laboratory.  EGL USA is also acceptable. However, diamonds graded by EGL international (Certificates not done in the USA) may be over-graded and not accurate.
