What are the 4 C's and which C is most important?
The infamous 4 C's of diamonds... Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. Each of these characteristics defines the quality, size and sparkle of the diamond. They are the characteristics that affect the diamond's visual appearance and sparkle. Cut is the faceting, angles and proportions that are the pure light sparkle of the diamond. Color is actually the whiteness of the diamond, ranging from D-Z. Apart from this, there are fancy color diamonds like pink, blue, yellow, etc . Clarity is the size and position of micrscopic imperfections in the diamond.It ranges from FL-I1 FL being the best quality and I1 being the lowest. And Carat is a reflection of the weight (and size) of the diamond. Because carat is the most visual C - it doesn't require a gemologist's eye to see which diamond is smaller or larger - it is the most popular. That's often why women (and men) want bigger. Bigger doesn't always mean more beautiful, but we can almost guarantee that the larger the diamond, the more likely it is to catch someone's eye. There's an important balance to strike though.
Should the diamond be certified?
A non-certified diamond may have different impression in the minds of different people which affects the pricing factor a lot.

After all, you want to ensure you receive what you've paid for and nothing less.
