Diamond Buying Guide
At Neel Jewels® we believe that understanding the Four Cs—Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat Weight—can help you make an informed decision when purchasing natural diamond jewellery. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect diamond:

Understanding the Four Cs

1. Cut:

The cut of a diamond refers to how well it has been shaped and faceted to reflect light. A well-cut diamond sparkles brilliantly, as it reflects maximum light from its facets.

  • Grades:
    • Excellent
    • Very Good
    • Good
    • Fair
    • Poor
  • Tip:
    • Look for an “Excellent” or “Very Good” cut grade to ensure dazzling brilliance.
    • All our diamonds are ethically sourced and come with an Excellent or Very Good cut grade, ensuring both brilliance and responsibility.

2. Colour

Diamond colour measures how colourless a diamond is. The less colour a diamond has, the rarer and more valuable it is.

  • Grades: D (completely colorless) to Z (noticeable yellow or brown tint)
  • Tip: Choose a diamond in the D–H range for a bright, colorless appearance.

3. Clarity

Clarity evaluates the presence of internal inclusions or external blemishes in a diamond. Diamonds with fewer inclusions allow more light to pass through, enhancing their beauty.

  • Grades:
    • IF - Internally Flawless
    • VVS - Very Very Slightly Included
    • VS - Very Slightly Included
    • SI - Slightly Included
    • I - Included
  • Tip:

    VVS diamonds offer an excellent balance of clarity and value, as inclusions are often microscopic and not visible to the naked eye. We recommend choosing VVS or VS diamonds for exceptional brilliance.

4. Carat Weight

Carat weight measures the size and weight of the diamond. Larger diamonds are rarer and more valuable, but brilliance also depends on the cut.

  • Tip:
    • Choose a carat weight that suits your preferences and budget.
    • A well-cut diamond can appear larger than its weight due to its brilliance.

Additional Tips for Buying Diamonds

  • Setting Style: Pair your diamond with the right setting to enhance its beauty.
  • Budget Smartly: Prioritize the qualities that matter most to you—whether it’s size, sparkle, or clarity.
