Color describes how white or warm a diamond appears.
Clarity describes natural internal or surface characteristics, while carat measures weight.
Cut
Cut quality affects how light moves through a diamond. A well-cut diamond can appear brighter, livelier, and more balanced than a larger diamond with weaker proportions.
Color and clarity
Color and clarity grades help compare diamonds, but many differences are subtle once the diamond is set. The best choice depends on the shape, size, setting, and budget.
Carat weight
Carat is weight, not just visible size. Shape, cut, and setting can influence how large a diamond appears on the hand.
