Read the articleCut, colour, clarity and carat describe a diamond, but they do not carry equal weight in how a stone looks on a hand. This section explains each of the 4Cs precisely, what the grading scales mean, where the visible differences begin and end, and which grades are worth paying for.

Carat is a weight, and weight can hide where nobody sees it. That gap is where most of the confusion lives.
Read the articleThe scale runs from D downward. Shape, metal and size all change how a grade reads — but on a lab-grown diamond the colourless range costs little enough to simply stay inside it.
Clarity is graded under magnification; you will look at the stone with your eyes. Both facts matter — and on a lab-grown diamond you can have the top grades without choosing between them.
Shape is the outline. Cut is the craft. Only one of the two decides whether a diamond looks alive.
Four measures, one stone. What each of them describes, and why the balance between them matters more than any single grade.
