Carat Weight
Carat Weight is the WEIGHT of the diamond.
This is often confused with size. "Size"
is really Carat Weight.
If an item has multiple diamonds, "ct.
tw." will express the Carat Total Weight
of all the diamonds in the piece...

Clarity
Since diamonds are made by nature, most have
natural internal blemishes. In fact, only the
most rare (and expensive) diamonds are free
of inclusions, as they are known. These tiny
imperfections were formed by minerals or other
Earthly items that became one with the diamond
during its birth...

Color
Color is based on the naturally occurring
color range of a diamond, which is colorless
to yellowish. This is not to be confused with
other colors you may see offered in diamonds,
as those are enhanced or created by man... |

Cut
Diamond CUT refers to the quality of the job
the diamond cutter did, and should not be confused
with SHAPE. Diamonds come out of the ground
rough before skilled craftsmen cut and polish
them, which determines the geometric proportions
the diamond will have.
The beauty of a diamond is largely determined... |
