DIAMOND SHAPES & SOURCING
THE 4C'S OF
DIAMONDS
Finding the perfect engagement ring begins with understanding the 4Cs — the universal standard for evaluating the beauty and value of diamonds. By learning how cut, color, clarity, and carat weight influence a diamond, you can make a confident choice that honors your next chapter.
The cut determines how brilliantly a diamond sparkles. A well-cut diamond absorbs light, refracts it, and gives off a sensational radiance. At Thomas Markle Jewelers we believe this is the most important factor when buying a diamond as this is the main reason why one diamond sparkles and another diamond remains dull.
A well-cut diamond will shine no matter its size.
Diamonds come in all colors, though most commonly they are graded on a scale of D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). The closer a diamond is to colorless, the more rare and valuable it tends to be.
Clarity is the measure of a diamond's purity, or the lack of inclusions. The clearer the stone, the more brilliantly light passes through it.
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond. The term dates back to ancient times, when carob seeds were used to balance scales. Today, one carat equals 200 milligrams.
