The 4C's and the 3P's of diamonds, are guidelines to help you understand the different characteristics of diamonds and make an informed decision.
The 4C's of diamonds stand for Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat Weight. Cut refers to the angles and proportions of the diamond, which affect its ability to reflect light and create sparkle. Clarity measures the amount and size of any blemishes or inclusions within the diamond. Color refers to the absence or presence of color in a diamond, with the highest quality diamonds being completely colorless. Carat Weight is a measure of the size and weight of the diamond.
In addition to the 4C's, there are also the 3P's: Polish, Symmetry, and Fluorescence. Polish refers to the smoothness of the diamond's surface, with higher quality diamonds having a more polished finish. Symmetry measures the alignment and balance of the diamond's features, such as the placement of the facets. Fluorescence is the visible light that is emitted by a diamond when it is exposed to ultraviolet light, and can affect the appearance of the diamond.
