Diamond Evaluation
Diamond Evaluation is the process of assessing the quality and value of a diamond based on specific criteria. The most widely recognized method is the Four Cs, which include Carat weight, Cut, Color, and Clarity. Each of these factors plays a crucial role in determining a diamond's overall appearance and market price.
During evaluation, a trained gemologist examines the diamond under magnification to identify its characteristics. The Cut refers to how well the diamond has been shaped and faceted, while Color assesses the presence of any hues. Clarity measures the presence of internal or external flaws, impacting the diamond's brilliance and value.
