Carat weight, color, clarity and cut, otherwise known as the four Cs, are the basics for anyone looking for a diamond. Knowing them will make selecting the engagement ring go smoothly.

Here's some information that may help:

1. Carat Weight

Carat weight is just as it sounds; it is the weight of the diamond. Different shapes may appear larger.

2. Color

The most expensive diamonds are the most translucent. The color is scaled from D to Z. D being the most colorless and Z being the most yellow. Diamonds color can be altered by treatments.

3. Clarity

Inclusions or a diamond's flaws are referred to by their clarity level starting with Flawless as the most expensive to Slightly Included.

4. Cut

The cut is the angles and proportions used to polish a diamond from the rough. The cut's depth, width and uniformity determine brilliance and durability.
