Many people think that size is the only thing that matters with diamonds. This is measured by the carat weight: One carat is equal to approximately 0.2 grams.
Avoid this mistake! The value of a diamond is determined by four characteristics.
Besides the carat weight, these are the color, the clarity and the quality of the cut. These four characteristics are known as the "4C": Carat, Color, Clarity, Cut.
- When choosing a diamond, it is always a matter of finding the right compromise between these characteristics.
- What is more important to you? A larger diamond or better quality overall? Do you have a fixed budget or are you looking for a specific diamond, at whatever cost?
- Weigh what is important to you and find the best diamond in your budget.
