✦ Diamond Education ✦
Master the 4Cs of Diamonds
Understand Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight before you invest. Transparency is our founding principle.
The Most Critical 'C'
Cut Determines Brilliance
Even a diamond with perfect color and clarity will appear dull if poorly cut. An ideal cut balances table size, depth, and symmetry so light reflects internally and bounces straight back through the top in a brilliant burst of sparkle and fire.
