The diamonds that me and you buy have to be based on certain criteria and that is why the whole industry has been based on 4C's namely carat,color,cut and clrity.
Each of these combine to give a particular classification to a diamond and hence the value
Carat - It is the unit of measurement used for diamonds and it is equla to 1/5 of a gram.
The bigger the diamond the more pirce it has well as more carats and more price and it is very rarer to find as it goes up the ladder.
Color - As opposed to what the general opinion is the color of a diamond is not limited to being colorless and it can be pinkor yellow also as well as many other colors.
The colors are classified as D to Z and D being the most colorles and Z being the most colorful.(:-)
Clarity - This measn how free the diamond is of the blemishes and the inclusions. The blemishes are external whereas the inclusions are external.
The range and grade of clarity is defined as raniging from
IF-I3 . IF is most clear and I3 is the worst form.
Cut - This is what the humans do to add to the overall briliiance of a diamonds and that means that diamonds are cut to hide the inclusions and enhance color. In fact the whole emphasis is based on the cut so as to it reflects light in afashion that it can give sparkle in your eyes .
