When it comes to selecting the perfect diamond, understanding its 4Cs — Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat Weight — is essential. These four factors determine not only a diamond’s beauty but also its value, rarity and brilliance.
A diamond’s magic lies in how these qualities come together — the way it catches light, reflects emotion and becomes an expression of everlasting luxury. Whether you’re buying your first diamond or adding to a cherished collection, knowing the 4Cs will help you choose a stone that truly speaks to you.
1. Cut – The Sparkle Within
The cut is what gives a diamond its unmistakable sparkle. More than just its shape, it defines how well the stone interacts with light. A perfectly cut diamond reflects brilliance, fire and scintillation — the dance of light that makes it come alive. At Farah Khan Jewellery, our diamonds are chosen for their precision and proportion, ensuring unmatched luminosity in every facet.
2. Colour – The Hue of Character
Diamond colour ranges from D (colourless) to Z (natural warm tones). While colourless diamonds are treasured for their crystalline purity, there is a growing appreciation for natural light yellow, champagne and warm-tinted diamonds. These hues occur over millions of years, formed through rare geological conditions — making them unique and full of character.
Unlike lab-grown diamonds, which often appear uniform, natural diamonds carry subtle tones that reflect their journey through the earth. Whether icy white or softly golden, the beauty lies in how the diamond interacts with light — revealing depth, glow and personality.
3. Clarity – The Beauty of Nature
Each diamond tells a story of its origin deep within the earth. Clarity measures the presence of natural inclusions — tiny markings that form during its creation. The fewer the inclusions, the rarer and more valuable the stone. However, every diamond, even with its natural characteristics, holds a unique fingerprint — one that reflects authenticity, depth and beauty.
4. Carat Weight – The Measure of Rarity
Carat weight refers to the diamond’s size and mass, with one carat equaling 0.2 grams. While larger diamonds are rarer, true beauty lies in proportion and balance. A smaller, well-cut diamond can outshine a heavier one with poor symmetry. The ideal diamond harmonizes carat with brilliance, embodying elegance and refinement in perfect measure.
