We make diamonds easy with Steven Singer Jewelers' expert guide to the 4 C's: Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight. Cut refers to a diamond's proportions, finish, symmetry, and polish, determining the overall sparkle. Color ranges from colorless to shades of yellow or brown, with the most valuable diamonds showing little to no color. Clarity is graded on how clear it is, from flawless to included, with fewer inclusions making it more valuable. Carat Weight measures the diamond's size, with larger diamonds being rarer and more valuable. Understanding these factors will help you choose the perfect diamond for your engagement ring or jewelry piece.
