The 4C's of Diamond Quality

Diamonds are quality graded by a universally understood method called the 4Cs - Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat weight.  By using this well understood system, one can understand the overall quality components of one's diamond and communicate it in a clear and standardized way. Watch the Gemological Institute of America's (GIA) video to learn more about the 4Cs.
