The
Diamond Basics
Starting from the basics, the quality
of a diamond is determined by four factors commonly known as the
"4 Cs" -- Carat weight, Clarity,
Color, and Cut.
Diamond professionals use these four factors to describe, classify,
and value diamonds. When taken together, they help in evaluate
the diamonds quality. For the consumer there a additional very
important "C" called Cost. The Carat
weight, Clarity, Color
are very straightforward and will be explained here. However,
evaluation of Cut quality is much more difficult.
The difference
between a diamond that has that has a incredible fire and sparkle
(a WOW stone) and a diamond that is glasslike is primarily to
the cut. An "excellent" cut, a "good" cut,
and a "bad" cut can be subtle to the untrained eye,
but will make a huge difference in terms of the value and beauty
of the stone. An unscrupulous jeweler will sell you a heavy stone
with superb clarity and color for an unbelievably low price and
still make a substantial profit, if the cut -- is inferior! WholesaleCanadianDiamonds
only carries premium cut diamonds for our clients. In fact we
will not broker a Canadian diamond below a very good cut. In comparison
most diamonds found in mall retail outlets are poor to medium
cut diamonds.
