When choosing diamond jewellery, the main quality factors are the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. These help describe a diamond’s appearance, size and overall quality. Cut affects sparkle, carat refers to weight, colour describes how colourless the diamond appears, and clarity refers to natural internal or external characteristics. The right choice depends on your budget, style preference and the type of piece you are buying.
You can refer to Zamel’s Diamond Guide for a helpful explanation of the 4Cs when choosing diamond jewellery, including rings, earrings, pendants and special occasion pieces.
