How to Choose a Diamond.
A diamond’s price and quality is determined by the 4Cs:
The 4Cs are used internationally to access the quality and value of a diamond. Diamonds with the combination of the highest 4C ratings are of a higher quality and consequently more expensive. Each C is of equal importance in determining the beauty of the diamond.
It is entirely your choice which of the 4CS you prefer as a priority.
When making a decision in the selection of your diamond it is important for you to select in the order of priority in the make colour, clarity or size that you prefer.

Diamonds range in colour from bright white to all colours of the rainbow.Diamonds are graded on a colour scale established by the Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) which ranges from D (colourless) to Z. Fancy coloured diamonds such as Pink,Red and Blue are extremely rare.
Colour differences are subtle and it is very difficult for an untrained eye to discern between, say, an E and an F. Colours and are graded under controlled lighting conditions and are compared to a master set for accuracy.
Truly colourless stones are graded D-coloured. These stones are extremely rare and, consequently, the most costly. However, ultimately your choice of colour comes down to personal taste. Here at Diamond Ring Shop we can show you a variety of colour grades next to one another to help you determine your colour preference.
