Welcome to the CINCIN Diamond Guide, where we unravel the secrets of these captivating gems. Diamonds are the epitome of timeless beauty and everlasting love. This guide will provide you with essential knowledge to make an informed decision when selecting a diamond for your special piece of jewellery.
The 4Cs of Diamond Quality:
1.1 Cut: The cut determines how well a diamond reflects light, creating its sparkle and brilliance. From excellent to poor, different cut grades affect a diamond's overall beauty and value.
1.2 Color: Diamonds come in a range of colors, from colorless to various shades of yellow or brown. The color grade is assessed on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown).
1.3 Clarity: Clarity refers to the presence of internal or external flaws, known as inclusions and blemishes, respectively. Clarity grades range from Flawless (no visible imperfections) to Included (visible flaws).
1.4 Carat Weight: Carat weight measures a diamond's size. It is important to note that carat weight alone does not determine a diamond's quality; it should be considered alongside the other 3Cs.

Diamond Shapes: Diamonds come in various shapes, each with its unique characteristics and appeal. Popular shapes include round brilliant, princess, cushion, emerald, and pear. Consider the shape that best reflects your style and preferences.

Diamond Certifications: Ensure the diamond you choose comes with a reputable certification from a recognized gemological laboratory, such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or AGS (American Gem Society). Certifications provide an unbiased evaluation of a diamond's quality.
