Cut: The quality of a diamond's cut impacts its brilliance and scintillation.
Color: A diamond is considered "white" or "fancy" (shades of pink, blue or yellow). The 4C's only apply to white diamonds. The most valuable white diamonds are colorless, or possess no tints of yellow or brown.
Clarity: Clarity refers to the presence of "inclusions", or flaws, in a diamond. The fewer flaws a diamond has, the more valuable it is.
Carat weight: Measures a diamond's weight. All other factors being equal, the larger the diamond, the more expensive the stone.
