Diamonds of fine quality have a sparkle all their own. The more perfectly and precisely the facets are cut on a diamond, the greater the amount of light that passes through it. And the more brilliant the results. But cut is just one of the things to look for when selecting a diamond. The quality of a diamond also depends on its Color, Clarity and Carat-weight. Together, they're known as the 4C's, the important characteristics that give a diamond its value and rare beauty. And to understand each of the 4C's is to understand the difference between diamonds.
