Beautiful. Precious. Cherished. Every individual diamond is different and is a miracle of place, time, change and each has distinct features that build its meaning.

 The first tip in AËLRA's diamond buying guide for buying a diamond is to understand the 4Cs. The 4Cs are the global norms for assessing the nature of diamonds and enable you to analyze one diamond to another. But what are these 4Cs? The 4Cs are-

1.The Cut: The shape of the diamond as well as with the precision each facet is cut to give the diamond its fire, light dispersion, because of the light refracting off of the angles.

2. The Colour: Examines the colour of the diamond (generally from D-Z)

3. The Clarity: Shows that how clean the diamond is of inclusions and blemishes

4. The Carat: weight of the diamond
