The 4 C's and Beyond
What are the 4 Cs of diamonds?
The 4 Cs—Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity—are key characteristics determining a diamond's value. Each of these attributes is crucial in defining the beauty and uniqueness of your diamond.
Are Vertelier's diamonds natural or lab-grown?
Vertelier specializes in lab-grown diamonds, offering the same beauty, chemical structure, and brilliance as natural diamonds, without the environmental impact.
How do lab-grown diamonds compare to natural diamonds?
Lab-grown diamonds are identical to natural diamonds in physical, chemical, and optical properties. The only difference is their origin—our diamonds are created sustainably in a lab.
How does the diamond's carat weight affect its value and appearance?
Carat weight measures a diamond's size by its weight, with one carat equaling 200 milligrams. While larger diamonds are rarer and typically more valuable, carat weight alone doesn't determine a diamond's beauty. It's important to consider carat weight alongside the other Cs—Cut, Color, and Clarity—to find a diamond that balances size with overall brilliance and quality.
What role does the cut grade play in a diamond's brilliance?
The cut grade of a diamond assesses how well the diamond's facets interact with light. A high-quality cut enhances a diamond's sparkle, fire, and overall visual appeal. Even with excellent color and clarity, a poorly cut diamond may appear dull. At Vertelier, we prioritize expertly cut diamonds to ensure maximum brilliance in every piece.
Can I get a certification for my lab-grown diamond?
Yes, all of Vertelier's lab-grown diamonds come with certifications from reputable gemological laboratories. These certificates provide a detailed assessment of the diamond's 4 Cs—Carat, Cut, Color, and Clarity—ensuring transparency and confidence in your purchase.
