Choosing a Diamond

If you’re in the market for a diamond, there’s a good chance that you’ve already heard of the 4 C’s.

With this in mind it is worth noting that purchasing a diamond based only on the 4 C’s is often not enough.

You can compare two diamonds with the same specs on paper, but those stones will never look the same. Every diamond has it’s own perfect uniqueness.
