Diamond Education

	The 4cs of Diamonds This short tutorial explains the 4Cs of Diamonds - cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight - the most important characteristics to understand when making a diamond purchase.
	Cut The most important of the 4Cs is cut because it has the greatest influence on a diamond's sparkle.
	Colour The second most important of the 4Cs is colour, which refers to a diamond's lack of colour. The less colour, the higher the grade.
	Clarity Often the least important of the 4Cs because the tiny imperfections are often microscopic.
	Carat The term carat actually refers to the diamond's total weight and not its size.
