The 4 C's
There are four universally accepted characteristics that diamonds are graded by. They are recognized
as the 4 C's, which stand for Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight. A diamond’s value is based upon
a combination of the "4 C's". By modifying these characteristics, you can find the best diamond
at the price point you can afford.
