The Value Of A Diamond

To identify the factors that determine the value of a diamond in order of their importance, we list them as follows:

Cut

Cut is the least understood and most important factor in diamond grading and buying.  In gem quality diamonds, cut has more to do with beauty than any single characteristic of the 4 C’s.  Cut has a lot to do with value and price, too. Learn more>>

Color

The next most important factor is diamond color. Color has a significant impact on diamond value. The color scale ranges from D to Z.  Learn more>>
