How to Choose Your Diamond

Choosing the perfect ring is a meaningful decision—we're here to make it easier.Navigating diamond options can feel overwhelming, but understanding the Four C’s—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat—can simplify the process and empower you to make a confident choice. These four characteristics are the universal standard for evaluating diamond quality, and they play a significant role in determining both the beauty and cost of each stone.

At our shop, many of the rings we offer are semi-customizable, giving you the flexibility to select a diamond that fits both your style and your budget. We specialize in lab-grown diamonds, which offer exceptional beauty, quality, and value—while also being an ethical choice.

For those who prefer a natural diamond, we also offer access to hand-selected natural stones by request.

In the sections below, we’ll walk you through each of the Four C’s so you can better understand what makes a diamond sparkle—and how to choose the one that’s just right for you.

Cut

  • Refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and faceted.
  • It affects a diamond’s brilliance and sparkle.
  • Grades range from Excellent to Poor.

Color

  • Measures how colorless a diamond is.
  • Graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown).
  • The less color, the higher the grade (and typically, the value).

Clarity

  • Refers to the internal (inclusions) and external (blemishes) imperfections.
  • Graded from Flawless (FL) to Included (I1, I2, I3).
  • Our rings are typically VS1 (Very Slight Inclusion) or SI1 (Slight Inclusion).

Carat Weight

  • Measures the size of the diamond based on its weight.
  • One carat (CT) = 0.2 grams or 6.5 MM.
  • Our Monstrance-Inspired Ring is slightly over 0.5 CT.
