Diamonds are the love of many, or I must say of all of us. These mined pieces of carbon are a status symbol, eternal love, and power as well. We often think of marking the big achievements and additions to family and life by gifting diamonds. But one cannot deny that no matter their beauty is mesmerizing, the investment is heavy.

The expensiveness of diamonds exists in every way. The way it originates, the time it takes to form, and their sorting in different categories in terms of weight, colour, and clarity.

The 4Cs make value and price for these elements of carbon. Cut refers to the way it reflects the light. Symmetrical cuts with facets aligned consistently maximize the sparkle and illuminate in a way that takes your breath away. Deep or flat cut diamonds lack that sparkle. The colour of the diamond should be uniform. Transparent or colour-less diamonds are better and more beautiful. The crystals of diamond determine its clarity. Utmost clarity is what buyers are seeking when they are looking for diamonds. Carat is the unit to measure the weight of the diamond.

These 4Cs are the universal standard for evaluating diamonds. They help in ensuring that the diamond is in its natural form. Diamonds are not measured in terms of purity but are graded based on the 4Cs. However, one must look for reports, certificates from global organizations across the world. These organizations do talk about the parameters beyond 4Cs that help in evaluating diamonds.
