The world of diamond jewellery can be intimidating, especially for first-time buyers and curious clientele. Terms like clarity, cut, and carat can be confusing, especially since most diamonds look the same to an inexperienced eye. We at Dracakis Jewellers have put together this brief to help curious clientele navigate the overwhelming plethora of styles and options for diamond jewellery. Our hope is that our hands-on guidance, supplemented by this general overview, will help you select the diamond that best matches your expectations.
First up, an overview of the 4Cs: Colour, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight.
Created by the GIA – an unbiased & internationally renowned authority on diamonds, the 4Cs (Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight) are a universal method for establishing the quality of any diamond, anywhere in the world.
The 4Cs means two very important things: diamond quality can be communicated in a universal language, and diamond-buying consumers can know exactly what they are about to purchase.
