What Are The 4Cs of Diamonds?

Cut, carat, colour and clarity, also known as the 4Cs of diamonds, are the universal language of the diamond. The system was developed in the 1950s by the Gemological Institute of America as a standard for analyzing and evaluating diamond characteristics. Each of the 4Cs is evaluated separately, but it’s the balance of each characteristic and how they work together that determines the true value of a diamond.

Learn the meaning of the 4Cs and how they can help you choose the diamond that’s right for you whether you’re shopping for an engagement ring, an anniversary gift, or just because.

What Are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are an exceptional mix of master craftsmanship and science. In fact, they are created of the same material as natural diamonds which were formed in the earth billions of years ago. Peoples' lab-grown diamonds exhibit the same optical, chemical, and physical properties as natural diamonds. However, because lab-grown diamonds can be produced in abundance, they are less expensive and make larger size diamonds more affordable.
