What Are The 4C’s of Diamond?

Even if you’ve done only some basic Google searches on how to buy a diamond ring, chances are, you’ve come across the 4 C’s of a diamond. Here, we’ll break down all of them for you! The 4 C’s refer to the cut, colour, clarity and carat weight of the diamond. We’re sure you want to buy a lab diamond ring that has the best sparkle for you. 

The Carat And Clarity

When it comes to the carat weight of the diamond on your ring, you should consider your budget and personal style. A carat weight not only influences the bling of the diamond but also plays a huge role in the price of your diamond ring. If you’re a fan of minimalism, go for a smaller-carat lab diamond for your ring, but if you love some extravagance in your life, by all means, go for a bigger-carat weight. 

Let us tell you a secret! One advantage of buying a lab diamond ring is that you can get a higher-carat diamond at the price of a small natural diamond. Next, we’ll tell you the difference between the clarity and colour of a diamond so that you can know how to buy a diamond ring! 

Have you noticed how some diamonds shine brighter than other diamonds of the same carat weight? This is because the presence of inclusions and blemishes can dull the sparkle of a diamond. A diamond’s clarity measures the purity of the stone, which is graded by the presence of any visible flaws on the diamond. 

The shine of a diamond depends entirely on the return of light after refraction, which can be hindered by the presence of inclusions and blemishes. So, when you’re choosing the perfect lab diamond for your ring, only go for the most reliable retailer. At Friendly Diamonds, we guarantee that the quality of our lab diamonds will leave you spellbound!

When it comes to the colour of the diamond, we’re referring to the presence of a natural tint in the diamond. The highest graded colour quality is ‘D’ which is colourless. When you’re shopping with us, you can choose any colour from D to Z, depending on your budget and preference. The lesser the presence of colour in a diamond, the more value it has. 

But let us remind you, the value of your lab diamond ring comes from the heart you put into the love you put into the purchase, not from any of the other factors. Make the sustainable choice of a beautiful lab diamond ring with us, for a greener planet and a shinier wardrobe!

How Do You Choose the Cut?

Did you know that a diamond ring’s sparkle has a lot to do with the cut of the diamond? A diamond can be cut and polished into numerous shapes, so it’s no wonder that one can get a little overwhelmed while making the choice of cut for the diamond. Do you have a particular diamond cut in mind? If you’re a fan of some classic glamour, we suggest that you choose cuts like round, emerald, princess, or radiant. But if you love adventures and want something a little out of the box, choose cuts like an Asscher cut, an oval, a heart, or a pear cut lab diamond. 

SHOP LOOSE DIAMONDS

The list doesn’t end here! You can also go for the soft charm of a cushion cut or the sharp intensity of a marquise cut diamond. If you’re wondering which cut you should go for, we’ve got something for everyone. The cut you choose for your diamond ring will greatly influence the sparkle and budget of your jewellery, so make sure to get the cut you most prefer!
