When we talk about diamonds, one of the most important concepts for understanding their value and quality is the 4Cs. This international classification allows us to accurately assess the characteristics of each stone and is essential to ensure that a piece of jewelry meets standards of excellence.
At WESSELTON, we rigorously apply this system to select the diamonds that make up our collections. Below, we explain what each “C” means and why it is so important.
Cut
Cut does not refer to the shape of the diamond, but rather to the way it is cut. A good cut maximizes brilliance and light refraction, making the diamond shine more intensely. At WESSELTON, we only work with diamonds that have excellent or very good cuts, always guaranteeing spectacular beauty.
Color
The more colorless a diamond is, the higher its value. The color scale ranges from D (a completely colorless diamond) to Z (yellowish tones). Our experts select pieces with high color standards to ensure a clean, pure, and brilliant appearance.
Clarity
Clarity refers to the internal and external inclusions or imperfections a diamond may have. The fewer inclusions, the greater the clarity and value. At WESSELTON, we work with diamonds that offer exceptional clarity, carefully examined under a magnifying glass.
Carat
The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. While a higher carat weight can increase value, it is essential to consider this characteristic in conjunction with the other three Cs. In our jewelry, we balance all qualities so that each piece offers harmony, beauty, and durability.
In short, understanding the 4 Cs of a diamond is key to making an informed decision when purchasing a piece of jewelry. At WESSELTON, we are committed to offering diamonds that meet the highest standards of quality, certification, and beauty.
