Carat
Weight, not size. A 2 ct stone is only about 25% wider than a 1 ct stone, but costs much more.

The 4Cs
Carat, cut, colour, clarity
Four things decide how a diamond looks and what it costs. Here's what matters, and where you can save.
Cut
The one C to never compromise on. A well-cut diamond sends light back out of the top; a shallow or deep one leaks it out of the sides.
- Too shallow
- Ideal
- Too deep
Colour
D is icy white; K has a hint of warmth. In white gold, G and H look colourless to most eyes, for less.
- D
- E
- F
- G
- H
- I
- J
- K
Clarity
Tiny natural marks inside the stone. VS1 and VS2 are "eye-clean": you'd need a loupe to find anything.
- VVS
- VS1
- VS2
- SI
