A perfectly pure diamond does not exist. But the closer it comes to purity, the better its clarity.

THE 4C's
of DIAMONDS
C ut is perhaps the most important characteristic of a diamond. If the diamond has not the correct proportions, it will never be able to show its glow. Cut determines the degree that a diamond interacts with light to create desirable visual effects, such as: brightness, iridescence and scintillation.
C arat weight is the characteristic that has a significant effect on a diamond. The heavier and bigger a diamond, the rarer it is.
A carat is the unit of measurement for the physical weight of diamonds and other precious gems. One carat weights 200 milligrams (0.2 grams) and is subdivided into 100 points.
C olor is something that characterizes the nature of the diamond. The majority of diamonds are slightly yellow to brown. Rare diamonds are completely colorless.
A diamond that is chemically pure and structurally perfect has no hue and thus a higher value. The degree of colorlessness is defined by comparing a stone under controlled lighting and precise viewing conditions to master stones of established color value.
Clarity refers to transparency, which is the absence of inclusions and surface blemishes of a diamond.
Diamond is a product of high temperatures and pressures that occurred millions of years ago in the depths of the earth. It is therefore natural for a diamond to contain various impurities in crystalline form, demonstrating its naturalness. Diamonds that do not contain impurities are extremely rare, raising their price to unapproachable levels.
