What Affects Diamond Value?
Understanding the 4Cs helps you know what your diamond is worth. Here's what we evaluate when making an offer.
Cut
How well the diamond reflects light. Excellent cuts command premium prices.
Color
D-F (colorless) are most valuable. G-J are near-colorless and still desirable.
Clarity
Fewer inclusions = higher value. VS2 and better are eye-clean.
Carat
Larger stones are rarer. Price per carat jumps at benchmark weights (1ct, 2ct).
