4 Cs of Diamonds Guide

Understand Diamond Quality

Discover what defines a diamond’s true value with Deino Diamond’s 4Cs Guide. Universally recognized as the global standard for diamond grading, the 4Cs provide a precise framework for evaluating quality, rarity, and brilliance. Refer to our guide below to better understand each essential characteristic.

Carat

Carat (CT) is the unit of weight for diamonds.
1 carat = 100 points = 0.2 grams.
Generally, the larger the diamond, the higher its value.

Color

Diamond color grading measures how colorless a diamond is.
The closer a diamond is to being completely colorless, the rarer and more valuable it is.

Clarity

Diamonds naturally contain internal inclusions.
The fewer the inclusions, the higher the clarity.
Higher clarity results in better transparency and brilliance.

Cut

Cut quality directly affects a diamond’s brilliance and sparkle.
A 3EX cut (Excellent in Cut, Polish, and Symmetry) represents superior craftsmanship.
The better the cut, the more brilliant and radiant the diamond appears.
