Carat, Clarity, Color and Cut.

along to you without sacrificing quality. Every diamond is unique: no
two are ever the same. Each has its own "personality" with its own
internal and external characteristics.



The shape and quality of the rough diamond determines the shape of the
polished diamond, and only the skill of an experienced cutter can
reveal the potential beauty of the stone.



Gem Stone King's Diamond Tutorial



Four major geponents are used throughout the world to evaluate a
diamond's quality and value. They are known as the 4 C's: Cut, Color,
Carat and Clarity. Understanding the qualities of the 4C's and how they
interact with each other will help you make the right purchase.



Carat.





Carat, abbreviated "ct." is a measure of weight used for diamonds. One
carat is equal to 1/5 of a gram (200 milligrams). Stones are measured
to the nearest hundredth of a carat. A hundredth of a carat is also
called a point. Thus a .10 carat stone can be called either 10 points,
or 1/10 of a carat. Small stones like .05, and .10ct are most often
referred to by point designations.





The carat, as a unit of weight, is derived from the carob seed which
was used by early gem traders to weigh diamonds. Since a carat is a
unit of measure and not size, two diamonds of the same carat weight may
appear to be different sizes depending on how the diamond is cut.
