That’s a common question when it comes to choosing a diamond. We can provide guidance in this regard, though at the end of the day, choosing a diamond is a matter of personal preference.
The value of a diamond is determined based on several factors, which are commonly referred to as the 4 Cs - which stands for colour, clarity, cut and carat. The combination of all four factors affects the value of the diamond.
If any one of the four factors is changed, the value will change.
When it comes to choosing a diamond, this is how I would personally approach the selection process.
Personally I feel that the colour and carat are the two most important factors to consider - however, that is provided a good standard is met for the other two factors - the cut and clarity. If the cut and clarity are not good, the whole diamond’s appearance and value will suffer.
I’ll start with the clarity and cut, and then outline the colour and carat.
