Our goal as a leading gemological laboratory in the 21st century is to make the gemological world a bit more accessible for home consumers, Therefore we offer you an extensive guide to the diamond gemological world.

Before going over the diamonds 4 C’s, first let us try and explain a few things about the 4 C’s.
The 4 C’s are 4 main parameters in which gemologists, and therefore gemological laboratories and diamond dealers, use to grade diamonds, Cut, Carat, Color and Clarity.
Basically, these are the parameters that determine the value and price of the diamond, some matter more than others, and some are less important to certain people, while other consider them the most important of all.
Be advised that only certified and experienced gemologists can determine any of the 4 C’s in a diamond.

 

The diamonds’ 4C’s are the 4 basic parameters to determine the quality and price of a diamond.

The 4C’s are:

- Carat: The weight of the diamond

- Cut: The shape of the diamond and the proportions quality

- Color: The diamonds color, on a white scale, or fancy color scale

- Clarity: The imperfections of the diamond, internal (inclusions) or external (blemishes)

The 4C’s will appear in the certificate in the following manner:
