4-Cs Briefly:

In order to understand quality in loose diamonds, the 4-Cs need to be addressed.

• Cut - (Not to be confused with the shape) Round, etc.  Cut here is referring to how well proportioned a diamond is. Cut too shallow or too deep will enable light to escape or pass through the diamond. Result, not as brilliant. A well proportioned loose diamond manages light more effectively.  Light is reflected from facet to facet and allows more fire or sparkle.
• Color - Diamonds are found in a range of colors, it is the first thing you see. Color ranges are colorless, white, silver, subtle yellow, brownish to very yellow. Diamonds can also be found in fancy colors - pinks, reds, purples, greens, blues and even black. These are very rare and are called fancy color diamonds.
• Clarity - Most diamonds contain very tiny natural birthmarks sometimes referred to as inclusions. The smaller and fewer birthmarks the better. If the inclusions are large, they may interfere with the reflection of light through the diamond.
• Carat Weight - The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. One carat is equal to 100 points, also a unit of weight. For example, a diamond weighing 50 points is a half carat diamond.

We feel that the only way to buy loose diamonds is eyeball to eyeball with a reputable jeweler. You can see it and touch it in person. Let us be your guide.
