When choosing the perfect diamond for your engagement ring, some key elements should be taken into account, for they will determine the quality of the gem you pick out. These factors are known as the so-called 4Cs. You might have heard of the expression "4 Cs" before and may not quite know what it means. This post will lay them out so that you’ll find out not only exactly what they mean, but also why they matter.
The reason the 4Cs are so important relates to the fact that they guarantee the quality of the diamond. For a diamond’s quality to be the highest possible, these following four criteria need to be met, regardless of their order of importance (as they are interrelated): clarity, color, cut, and carat.
Keep in mind that any of these four Cs are imperceptible to naked human eye, so it is most likely that you and your significant other will not be able to tell that difference. However, they’re still extremely important and that’s why it is always best to speak to an expert for further advice on these elements, just to be on the safe side and to make sure you know you’re investing in a really good piece - especially considering that buying a diamond piece is a one-of-a-kind, one-time investment, so you’d really want to make it right as you purchase such a piece.
