Tips on how to buy the right Oval Cut Diamond

Diamonds are graded based on the “4 C’s”, the diamond grading standard established by the Gemological Institute of America in 1953.

These “4 C’s” consist of “Cut”, “Color”, “Clarity” and “Carat”.

1. Cut is defined as the brilliance and symmetry of a round diamond, though it can also be used to define shape – such as pear or oval cut.
2. Color, interestingly enough, is defined as an absence of color – therefore, the whiter and purer a stone’s color, the higher the color grade.
3. Clarity grade is based on the inclusions (or lack thereof) inside the diamond, with the highest grade being Internally Flawless, meaning the diamond is free of inclusions.
4. Carat is the measure of a diamond’s weight, where 1 carat weighs 0.2 grams.
