Explain the gradings of a Diamond.

Diamonds, like other precious gemstones, have a number of determining factors which are taken into account for the purpose of grading; there are excellent stones, unique and rare examples, and then there are many Diamonds which are imperfect and offer little value.

There are a also a few attributes to consider when purchasing Diamond jewellery, especially if in the long term you hope that the jewellery will retain its value, or even appreciate in value.

When considering the value of Diamonds there are four main classification factors often referred to as the "Four Cs": Cut, Colour (from colourless to tinted), Carat (weight) and Clarity (incluions, fissures and feathers), with the finer examples of Diamonds possessing higher grades of each characteristic.
