Diamonds are a special part of life; each one is given and received with unique meaning and emotion. The individuality of a diamond is identified by subtle differences that determine value. Collectively the evaluation criteria are referred to as the 4 C’s: Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. It is critically important to understand that all of the “C’s” are interdependent and must be considered collectively. A high ranking in one “C” does not guarantee a good quality stone if the other “C’s” are poor. Ultimately, certified gemologists use the 4C’s as a guide to help you understand how to buy a diamond. Here are some things to keep in mind when buying wedding rings or wedding jewelry.
