Diamond Quality Guide

When purchasing a diamond, there are four key factors that determine its value: colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight. These are collectively known as the "4Cs."

At Sahvi, we meticulously select each diamond based on its visual appeal and brilliance.

Cut: The cut of a diamond refers to the proportions and angles of its facets. A well-cut diamond maximizes the reflection and refraction of light, resulting in exceptional sparkle. The cut is a crucial factor in determining a diamond's overall beauty.

Colour: Diamonds come in various shades, from colourless (Grade D) to yellow or other fancy colours. Colourless diamonds are generally considered rarer and more valuable. 

Carat: A carat is a unit of weight for diamonds, equal to 200 milligrams. While carat weight is often considered a measure of size, it's essential to remember that the overall value of a diamond is determined by the interplay of all four Cs. A well-cut diamond with excellent color and clarity can be more valuable than a larger diamond with inferior characteristics.

Clarity: Clarity refers to the purity of a diamond. Inclusions, or internal flaws, can affect a diamond's appearance and value. Diamonds with fewer inclusions are generally considered to have higher clarity. However, it's important to note that some inclusions may be invisible to the naked eye and may not significantly impact the diamond's overall beauty.
