| Cut
A diamond that is masterfully cut displays maximum brilliance
and fire. Cut and proportion are extremely important because
they have the greatest influence on the sparkle and value
of a stone. A diamond that is well cut reflects light from
one facet to another and disperses it back through the top
of the stone.

Colour
A diamond's body colour can range from totally colourless
to light yellow. The whiter or more colourless the stone,
the more costly, because the absence of colour is more rare.
Also, the less colour in the stone, the easier it is for light
to pass through and be dispersed back into the spectrum of
colours, like a rainbow.

Clarity
Nature is rarely perfect. So it is very rare to find a diamond
that is completely pure or free of inclusions - minerals or
crystals trapped within the stone at the time it was formed.
Without ten-power magnification, you may never see these tiny
inclusions. But they are the fingerprint that makes each diamond
unique.

Carat Weight
The size of a diamond is defined by its weight, which is expressed
in carats. One carat weighs one-fifth of a gram, and is divided
into 100 points - like pennies to a pound. The larger the
diamond the more rare and costly it is. However, depending
on their colour, clarity and cut, two diamonds of the same
carat weight can vary widely in their value.
