Understanding the 4Cs: Clarity, Cut, Carat, and Color

A Comprehensive Guide by Sanghvi & Sons

For centuries, diamonds have been a symbol of timeless beauty and unmatched elegance. As one of the world's leading legacy diamond manufacturers, Sanghvi & Sons prides itself on crafting gems that embody perfection. To truly appreciate the brilliance of a diamond, one must understand the 4Cs: Clarity, Cut, Carat, and Color. These four factors determine the quality, value, and allure of every diamond.       

1. Clarity: The Diamond’s Inner World

Clarity measures the purity of a diamond, identifying any natural inclusions or blemishes.

• Flawless (FL): No inclusions or blemishes visible under 10x magnification.
• Internally Flawless (IF): No inclusions; minor surface blemishes may be present.
• VVS to SI Grades: Varying degrees of inclusions, from "Very Very Slight" to "Slightly Included."

At Sanghvi & Sons, we carefully assess each diamond to ensure the clarity enhances its overall brilliance. Diamonds with higher clarity grades sparkle more brilliantly and are exceptionally rare.

2. Cut: Where Art Meets Science

A diamond's cut isn’t just about its shape—it defines how well it reflects light. The cut determines the diamond’s brilliance, fire, and scintillation.

Key Cut Grades:

• Excellent: Maximum light return and sparkle.
• Very Good: High brilliance with minor imperfections.
• Good to Fair: Less light reflection but still beautiful.

Our master cutters at Sanghvi & Sons use precision and expertise to craft diamonds that capture every ray of light, ensuring unparalleled brilliance.

3. Carat: Measuring Weight, Not Size

Carat refers to the weight of a diamond, not its size. One carat equals 200 milligrams.

While larger carat diamonds are often more valuable, the cut, clarity, and color can elevate smaller diamonds to unparalleled beauty. At Sanghvi & Sons, we offer a wide range of carat options, tailored to meet diverse preferences and budgets.

4. Color: Grading the Hue

The color scale ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Colorless diamonds are the most prized for their pure, icy appearance.

At Sanghvi & Sons, we specialize in sourcing and grading diamonds with exceptional color quality, ensuring they meet the highest industry standards.

Conclusion: Why the 4Cs Matter

Understanding the 4Cs empowers you to make informed decisions when selecting a diamond. Whether it's for an engagement ring, a statement necklace, or a corporate gift, every diamond tells a unique story—one of precision, beauty, and timelessness.

Sanghvi & Sons, with its legacy of craftsmanship and commitment to excellence, ensures that every diamond embodies these qualities. From sourcing to finishing, we bring you gems that stand out, making your investment truly worthwhile.
