Understanding the Four C’s

We don’t want to make this more complicated than it should be so we only work with top quality lab grown diamonds. Read below for an overview of the Four C’s to help you understand how lab grown and natural diamonds are graded.

Cut

We use diamonds with excellent polish and excellent symmetry. This means that your diamond will be proportional and sparkle beautifully.

Color

We use D, E and F color diamonds. The color scale goes from D to Z with D, E and F being colorless and Z being light yellow.

Clarity

We use VVS1 and VVS2 (very very slightly included 1 and 2) diamonds. This means that your diamond will be nearly flawless with just one or two very minor inclusions that are not visible to the naked eye. Clarity can range from FL (flawless) to I1, I2 and I3 (Included 1, 2 and 3) and beyond.

Carat

This just refers to the carat weight/size of your diamond. We offer 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 carat options. If you’re looking for a different size feel free to contact us and we can source additional sizes.
