Diamonds
Description
Carat Weight
The first "C" is "Carat Weight" and one carat is equal to 0.2 g and is the one standard weight unit used to calculate the weight of gemstones. If the remaining three factors are identical to the other diamonds, then the larger the diamond, the higher the value.
Clarity Grade
The second "C" is Clarity. Almost all diamonds contain a small amount of carbon or other minerals inside, called inclusions. They are visible under a magnifying glass and make each gemstone unique. It seems obvious that the fewer inclusions there are in a gemstone, which means the purer the gemstone is, the higher its value.
Color Grading
The third "C" is Color. The most valuable diamonds are colorless. However, most diamonds have a yellowish, or brownish tinge that diminishes the value. Diamonds that have the intense "fancy colors," such as champagne, pink, green or blue, are considered particularly rare and have a high value.
CUT
The fourth and hence the last "C" is "Cut". The cut is decisive for the brilliance of the gemstone. It reflects light and scatters it inside. These characteristics are found only in ideally cut diamonds, which is one of the quality criteria at Goyel. The cut should not be confused with the shape of the diamond.
