Portugal Engagement Rings: Cut, Carat, Clarity, and Color

You've probably heard of the "Four Cs," the official diamond grading system that has made its way into the mainstream. Here's a quick decoder on what each "C" stands for and how you can use that knowledge to locate the best diamond for your budget.

Cut

By "cut," we don't mean shape—instead this term speaks to a diamond's sparkle factor, and it's only applicable for round brilliant diamonds. Cuts are graded from excellent to poor, and they are graded against a round brilliant diamond's ideal and exact proportions.

Carat

The size or weight of a diamond is measured in carats. The average diamond in an engagement ring is one carat, or 200 milligrams (about the size of an Advil tablet). By contrast, Kim Kardashian’s infamous stolen emerald-cut weighed 20 carats—and reportedly cost $4.5 million.

Clarity

Even a perfect-looking stone can have flaws, which are otherwise known as inclusions. These are tiny black or white flecks or lines that occur naturally as the diamond forms in the earth over millions of years. These minute imperfections determine clarity, which is graded by the number, intensity, and position of inclusions. The smaller, fewer, and less visible the inclusions, the higher the clarity.

Color

Diamonds come in a spectrum of shades, but the rarest ones are colorless. Color is ranked on a scale from D—no color, the most expensive—all the way to Z, which is visibly yellowish. Recently, so-called fancy colors—like pink, yellow, or chocolate—have become popular. For those, the more saturated the color, the more valuable the stone.

Pick Your Shape

The type of diamond you choose should speak to your individual style (plus it will kick off your ring stack options). Here's a brief overview of the most popular shapes:

• Round: It’s the most sought-after shape and best highlights a diamond’s brilliance.
• Oval: This shape complements long, lean fingers.
• Emerald: Its large facets showcase excellent clarity. (See: Beyoncé and Amal Clooney.)
• Asscher: A square emerald that has an art deco feel.
• Cushion: Created in the 1800s, this vintage style is predominantly square with rounded corners.
• Princess: The broad, flat-top, and pyramidal shape can sometimes appear smaller than their carat weight.
• Marquise: This long, tapered style maximizes carat size.
• Pear: A round-marquise hybrid looks extra delicate on a light, thin band.
