The 4 Cs of Diamonds

Welcome to Ovani Diamonds, where every magnificent gemstone is a masterpiece of nature that has been expertly crafted and curated to perfection. As you start off on your journey to find the perfect diamond, it's crucial to understand the four vital characteristics that determine its quality and value: the 4 Cs— Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat. This meticulous guide will help you make a calculated decision and appreciate the brilliance of your chosen diamond.

Cut:

The cut of a diamond is what brings it to life, reflecting and refracting light to create that iconic sparkle. A well-cut precious stone will show up more glowing and red hot, notwithstanding of its carat weight. The cut is not approximately the shape (circular, oval, princess, etc.), but or maybe the quality of the diamond’s extents and symmetry. 

Color: 

A color scale ranging from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown) is used to grade diamonds. The less color a diamond has, the more valuable and rare it is. Colorless diamonds (grades D-F) are exceptionally rare and highly prized for their pure, icy appearance. However, near-colorless diamonds (grades G-J) offer an excellent value and can appear just as stunning, especially when it's set in white gold or platinum.

Clarity:

When defects are present, they are referred to as inclusions or blemishes, depending on whether they are internal or external. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I), with Immaculate precious stones being amazingly uncommon. Most inclusions are microscopic and do not affect a diamond's overall beauty to the naked eye.

Carat:

Carat is often the most recognized of the 4 Cs. It measures the weight of the diamond, not its size. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams. While larger diamonds are rare and more expensive, it's important to remember that carat weight alone does not determine a diamond's beauty. We offer a range of carat weights to suit every preference and budget, ensuring you find a diamond that perfectly represents your love and commitment.
