Many people are confused about how diamonds are priced. The
best explanation is that asking for the price of a diamond
is like asking for the price of a house. A real estate agent
can’t quote you a price for a house without knowing
its size, condition, location, etc. This process is the same
one used when buying a diamond. A diamond’s beauty,
rarity, and price depend on the interplay of all the 4Cs—cut,
clarity, carat, and color.
The 4Cs are used throughout the world to classify the rarity
of diamonds. Diamonds with the combination of the highest
4C ratings are more rare and, consequently, more expensive.
No one C is more important than another in terms of beauty
and it is important to note that each of the 4Cs will not
diminish in value over time.
Once you have established those 4C characteristics that are
most important to you, we can then begin to show you various
options with quoted prices.
