Diamonds Guide to
A Cut Above The 4Cs
Not all diamonds are created equal. Selecting the perfect diamond begins with understanding the varying characteristics and quality factors each uniquely possesses. In fact, there are some significant differences which will impact a diamonds quality and price.
To understand a diamond’s rarity and quality, you must evaluate it in line with internationally recognised standards – Cut, Clarity, Colour and Carat Weight. These are primarily used to determine the visual attributes, quality, and overall value of a diamond, but prioritising what is most important to you, is a personal preference.
Page 26
cut Ideal Cut
Cut is the most important of the 4Cs.
All light is captured and thrown back.
Cut refers to the facet proportions on the surface of a diamond. It maximizes the beauty of a diamond and is controlled by human hands, not nature. Expert Symmetry Facets precisely matching in size, shape and alignment create brilliance.
Shallow Cut
Light is lost through girdle facets.
Excellent Proportion Light reflects brightly. Too Deep Light escapes through the side. Too Shallow Light escapes at the bottom. Misaligned Facets Asymmetry interrupts the movement of light from one facet to the next.

Carat is the weight of the diamond not the size. Diamonds of the same carat weight can appear larger or smaller depending on the depth of the cut and the shape of the diamond. For example, elongated cuts such as oval, emerald or pear can appear larger than similar sized round or princess cut diamonds. Page 27
clarity
FI/IF
Clarity is a measure of the purity and rarity of a diamond.
flawless, internally flawless
It is determined by the visibility of imperfections under 10-power magnification as virtually all diamonds have imperfections of one type or another.
VS1-VS2
VVS1-VVS2 very nearly flawless
flawless to the human eye SI1-SI2 inclusions at 10x magnification
A diamond is graded as flawless if, under magnification, no inclusions (internal flaws) or blemishes (external imperfections) are visible.
I1-I2-13 inclusions visible to the human eye
colour
D-F colourless
Colour refers to the natural tint inherent in white diamonds.
G-J near colourless K-M faint yellow
In nature, most white diamonds have a slight tint of yellow. The closer to being ‘colourless’ a diamond is, the rarer it is. The industry standard for grading colour is to evaluate each stone against a master set and assign a letter grade from “D” (colourless) to “Z” (light yellow).
N-R very light yellow S-Z yellow Page 28
shape Diamond shape refers to the geometric appearance of a diamond. Diamond shapes are categorised as round diamonds and fancy diamonds. Round diamonds, also known as round brilliant cuts, are the most traditional shape. Fancy shape diamonds refer to any diamond that is not a round brilliant cut diamond.

Lab Grown Diamonds Lab Grown Diamonds (also known as Laboratory-Created, Man Made, or Synthetic Diamonds) are grown in controlled laboratory environments using advance technological processes. These processes mimic, and accelerate, the same conditions under which mined diamonds naturally develop within the Earth’s crust. Lab Grown Diamonds consist of carbon atoms arranged in the same characteristic diamond crystal structure. They are made from the same material as natural mined diamonds and exhibit the exact same optical and chemical properties. Simply put, Lab Grown Diamonds are real diamonds - the only difference is their origin.
