Carat Weight
RC Diamond Tips
Carat corresponds with the diamond’s weight, but keep in mind certain shapes tend to appear larger than
others, like Rounds, Ovals, and Pears. Also, be sure to check the diamond's length and width mm
measurements, which also impact how large the diamond appears.
Color
RC Diamond Tips
Diamonds are graded on their absence of color, with D-F being completely colorless. Colorless diamonds
are very rare, resulting in a higher price point. Because it can be extremely difficult to detect the
difference between a colorless and a near-colorless diamond, we recommend opting for a near colorless
diamond that optimizes price and carat weight without sacrificing beauty!
Clarity
RC Diamond Tips
As diamonds are forming, they develop natural birthmarks called inclusions. We recommend a clarity grade
of SI1 to VS1 for the best value - these will have few to no visible inclusions to the naked eye, and no
effect on the beauty of your diamond.
