Understanding the 4Cs of Lab Grown Diamond

If you are planning to buy lab grown diamond jewellery, understanding the 4Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat—is essential. These are the four factors on which the quality, beauty and value of a diamond depends. Like natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds are also graded on the same 4C standards by the GIA Institute.

4Cs of Lab Grown Diamonds

1.       Cut

Cut refers to the shape of the diamond. Lab grown diamonds come in many shapes which are lab grown. Well cut lab grown diamonds sparkle due to their excellent symmetry and proportions. You can buy diamond jewelry of your choice of cut.

2.       Color

Diamonds are graded on a color scale from D to Z. D means colorless and Z is light yellow or brown. Lab grown diamonds which are slightly colorless are in the highest demand. However, near-colorless diamonds (G to J) also offer great value with minimal visual difference. Since lab grown diamonds are made in a lab, their color quality is much better than natural diamonds.

3.       Clarity

Clarity refers to the presence (or absence) of inclusions (internal flaws) and blemishes (external imperfections) in a diamond. Clarity is graded on a scale established by the GIA. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I1, I2, I3). Lab-grown diamonds have very few noticeable inclusions compared to mined diamonds.

4.       Carat

Carat means the weight of the diamond. Many people think that it means the size of the diamond, which is wrong. One carat equals 0.2 grams. These diamonds are available in carats, so you can choose as per your choice.
