How to Buy Diamonds: Understanding the 4Cs, Tips & More

At Neptunes Jewelry, we believe that buying a diamond starts with understanding the 4Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.

The 4Cs of Diamonds

Diamond Cut

These elements influence a diamond's beauty and value, helping you find a stone that perfectly reflects your taste.

Cut refers to the diamond’s proportions, directly impacting its brilliance and sparkle. A well-cut diamond will showcase optimal light reflection, making it the most crucial of the 4Cs.

Diamond Color

Diamond color evaluates how colorless a diamond is. The less color, the rarer and more desirable the diamond becomes. Neptunes Jewelry offers diamonds that complement various jewelry styles and preferences.

Diamond Clarity

Clarity assesses the small imperfections within a diamond. Most inclusions are natural, and while many are invisible to the naked eye, clarity influences the overall look of the diamond.

Diamond Carat

Carat weight measures a diamond’s size. Each carat weighs 200 milligrams, and larger, high-quality diamonds tend to be rarer, affecting their value.

Diamond Shape

Shape defines the diamond's overall form. While not part of the 4Cs, the shape is an essential aspect of the diamond's aesthetic and can affect how it appears.

Diamond Certification

Each Neptunes Jewelry diamond comes with a certification that details its 4Cs, ensuring the highest standards and accurate information.

Fancy Shapes and Colored Diamonds In addition to classic shapes, we offer fancy-shaped diamonds that bring unique personality and style. For those looking for something extraordinary, Neptunes Jewelry also offers diamonds in various colors, including rare hues of pink, yellow, and blue, with unique 4Cs considerations for these colorful gems.
