What should I consider when choosing a diamond?

Shape of the diamond and the 4Cs of the diamond. Diamonds are graded according to four globally accepted standards – the 4Cs: Clarity, cut, color, and carat weight. The quality of a diamond depends on a combination of these four standards. After choosing your diamond based on the 4Cs and your budget, we help you choose the best setting to fit the diamond you chose.
