A diamond is pure or nearly pure carbon, with three extraordinary qualities.
The Four C's
The 4C’s are the factors determining the quality and therefore value of a diamond and include Clarity, Colour, Cut and Carat.
- It owns unique powers of light reflection. When cut to proper proportions it gathers light within itself and sends it back in a shower of fire and brilliance.
- It is the only gem mineral composed of a single, unadulterated element, making it the purest of earth’s gemstones.

4 C’s’, the factors determining value are CLARITY,
