Everyone has heard the term “The 4 C’s,” but what does that really mean. In our How To Buy A Diamond app, you’ll get a complete understanding of “The 4 C’s," which are:

1) Clarity = clean, what you see in the way of flaws. This runs from FL/IF (Flawless and Internally Flawless eye clean, most expensive) to I (Included, low to poor quality, inexpensive, not eye clean)

2) Cut = Shape of the diamond. Anything other than a standard round brilliant is considered a “fancy cut.”

3) Color = from D colorless (the most desirable) to Z which is a least desirable brown or yellow (not to be confused with current fashion of canary or chocolate diamonds)

4) Carat = Weight. This is calculated in points. A great idea about which you will learn is the “light carat.”

And we are adding the Fifth C – Cost. In this section your learn about how cost is determined.
