Determining diamond value
A diamond’s worth is determined by the four Cs: carat, color, clarity and cut. A stone’s price per carat (its weight) increases with size, meaning a 1-carat diamond is more expensive than two 0.5-carat diamonds.
Color is graded from D (colorless, rare and valuable) to Z (light yellow, lower quality), while clarity—the measure of imperfections—ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I3). In jewelry, any diamond with a G-H color or VVS1-VS1 clarity appears perfect to the naked eye.
