Diamond Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight are collectively termed the 4Cs

Colour | GIA’s diamond color grading system measures the absence of color, starting with D as colorless and continuing to Z representing light yellow or brown. T

Cut | A diamond’s cut determines its sparkle. The finer the cut quality, the more sparkle the diamond has.

Clarity | Diamonds often contain clarity characteristics, called inclusions or blemishes. Inclusions are enclosed within the gem and blemishes are on the surface of the diamond. If all else is equal, the closer a diamond is to flawless, with no inclusions or blemishes, the higher its value.

Carat weight | Diamond weight is measured in carats. One carat is equal to 0.2 gram, about as heavy as a paperclip.
