Here’s what you need to know in relation to carat, clarity, colour andcut.

Carat

This is the weight measurement. Larger diamonds are rare and thereforeexpensive so the price increases in relation to the weight. 

Clarity

Natural flaws occur as the diamond is being formed and the size, numberand visibility of such flaws will determine clarity. One thing to distinguishis whether flaws have been made during the cutting process or during naturalprocess. Characteristics such as scratches, air bubbles, cuts and other mineraldeposits occur during its natural formation, however, the fewer the flaws, themore brilliant the diamond.

Colour

The mineral composition of the stone serves to dictate the colour in adiamond. Most valuable are those of the colourless variety due to the fact theyallow greater light, making them the most brilliant. When observing its colour,examine the stone through the side of the pavilion (bottom of the stone) withthe diamond upside down in a white paper grading trough. From blue and red togreen and yellow, the depth of colour will make the diamond both rare andvaluable.

Cut

The cut says it all and the brilliance of the diamond is determined byit. The face of the diamond is known as its table and light will enter throughthis area and travel to its centre where it will refract off the sides and thenback through the face. In contrast, a poorly cut diamond will show lessbrilliance as the light is lost through the sides and base of the diamond.
