Diamond Quality &The Four Cs: Carat, Clarity, Cut, Color

The quality of diamonds depends on four main factors. Jewelers call them the 4 C’s. It is important to understand each one of them when buying the precious stone since they are often the basis of the price.

Carat
Carat refers to the unit of measurement used to weigh gemstones. The term comes from the seed of carob tree which was used to weigh precious stones in the ancient times. One carat is equivalent to 1/5 of a gram and it is further divided into 100 points. A diamond with 50 points is ½ carat or 0.50 ct. The price of the diamond rises exponentially with size. Large gems are very rare compared with smaller ones and definitely, they cost huge amount of money.

Diamond Quality &The Four Cs: Carat, Clarity, Cut, Color

Clarity
Clarity is often assumed as the most important factor. This is because it gives the gem a profound visual effect. Clarity depends on the internal and external features referred to as the inclusions and blemishes respectively. The irregularities come from the volcanic rock. Originally, diamonds are made from pure carbon and while the stone forms, minerals nearby become trapped causing the imperfections. Experts assess the stone using ten times magnification under a standard light. The number, size and visibility of the inclusions determine the clarity of the stone. Internally flawless diamonds are definitely more expensive since they look more brilliant and beautiful. Grading ranges from flawless to heavily blemished.

Cut
Cut is not just about the shape of a gem. It is how the stone returns the light back to the viewer’s eyes. It is the most challenging of the four C’s. Cut affects the brilliance and sparkle of diamonds. A high grade gem allows light to pass through it, reflects and refracts it internally and produces a dazzling effect and play of colors called “fire”. In simpler terms, a well cut stone should catch your eyes. Incorrect cutting of diamond creates a dull looking and lifeless stone and thus, this will cost less. Rating based on cutting is expressed as excellent, very good, good, fair and poor.

Color
The ideal diamond quality is colorless but this is extremely rare. Color scales range from no color at all to deeply colored or rating of D to Z. Grading can be done using a colorimeter machine or manually by comparing the gem with a “master stone”. Less expensive types are off-white, mucky yellowish or brownish color. They absorb light instead of refracting it and thus, inhibiting its brilliance. Normally, colored diamonds have lower rating and are less expensive than colorless jewels.

Some jewelers consider another C in grading diamonds. They include Certificate in the evaluation. This is also called as the grading report. It is provided by highly qualified professionals in the industry using advanced gemological instruments. The certificate contains the individual characteristics of the stone.

Diamonds are truly the best gifts one can receive. Whether it is a birthday, anniversary or Christmas, the celebration becomes extra special when you give the fiery brilliance of the stone.

Zenith invites its fans to take part in the "El Pri,mero Lightweight Experience"

Zenith offers a blend of lightness, daring and innovation through an exclusive version of its El Prmero Striking 10th chronograph characterised by an emphasis on high-tech materials. Issued in a 100-piece limited edition, the El Primero Lightweight model teams a titanium and silicon movement with an ultra-sporty carbon case. In parallel with this launch, the brand with the guiding star is organising a competition exclusively reserved for its Facebook fans who can try their luck and attempt to win an unforgettable Zenith experience linked with the theme of lightness.

To mark the launch of its new model and to reward its constantly growing Facebook community, Zenith is inviting its fans to take part in the “El Primero Lightweight Experience”. Via a dedicated platform featuring an original design inspired by the brand values, internet users will be asked to estimate the weight of this ultra-light model in order to take part in the adventure. The latter will continue with a balloon release from the Manufacture, in the exact same spot where its founder Georges Favre-Jacot built the first workshop. This autumn, the company’s watchmaking artisans will be invited to release balloons attached to printed cards bearing the name of all the adventurers from around the world who have entered the competition.

Six participants will be rewarded and will enjoy a chance to discover the new El Primero Lightweight as well as an unforgettable airborne experience: a free fall, an airship flight or a paragliding jump.

All Zenith watches are fitted with an in-house Zenith movement and are developed by the Manufacture in Le Locle. The latter currently stands at the exact spot where its founder built the first company workshop, thus physically embodying a continuity that is a rarity in itself.
