Diamond Rings
Consider the 4Cs - Colour, Cut, Clarity and Carat.
Colour - The best colour for a diamond is no colour at all. A colourless diamond allows light to pass through it easily, giving it that bright sparkle.
Cut - Every diamond regardless of shape gets it's brilliance from facet cuts. The better the cuts, the better the glint.
Clarity - This refers to the inclusions in the stone that can interfere with light passing through the diamond. The fewer inclusions, the closer it is to to flawless.
Carat - This is the weight of the diamond. The heavier it is, the rarer and pricier it gets.
