At Delorenzo Diamonds, we offer GIA-certified diamonds that meet the highest standards in the industry. So, let’s break down the 4Cs and discover what makes a diamond truly shine.
Cut
If there’s one factor that can truly transform a diamond, it’s the cut. The cut refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and faceted from its raw form, directly influencing how much light it reflects — meaning, how brilliantly it sparkles. A well-cut diamond catches every ray of light, enhancing its natural beauty.
The GIA grades diamond cuts on a scale from Excellent to Poor based on proportions, symmetry, and polish. At Delorenzo Diamonds, we focus on diamonds with the best cuts to ensure each one sparkles with life, making your jewelry radiate.
Color
Diamonds naturally come in a variety of shades, but the less color, the better. The GIA color scale ranges from D (completely colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown), with colorless diamonds being the most sought after.
At Delorenzo Diamonds, we offer diamonds in the near-colorless range (G-J), giving you a perfect blend of beauty and affordability. Whether you want a classic colorless stone or something with a touch of warmth, we have options for every style and budget.
Clarity
Clarity speaks to how flawless a diamond is, both inside and out. The GIA grades clarity from Flawless (no visible inclusions or blemishes under magnification) to included (imperfections visible to the naked eye). While flawless diamonds are rare, most diamonds have tiny imperfections that don’t affect their overall beauty.
At Delorenzo Diamonds, we carefully choose diamonds with the right balance between clarity and value, ensuring that your piece looks stunning without compromising on quality.
Carat Weight
Carat weight refers to the size of the diamond, with one carat equaling 200 milligrams. While larger diamonds often steal the spotlight, it’s important to remember that bigger isn’t always better. The other three Cs — cut, color, and clarity — play just as important a role in making a diamond shine.
We offer a range of carat weights at Delorenzo Diamonds, so whether you’re after something understated or a statement piece that turns heads, we’ve got you covered.
Why GIA-Certified Diamonds Matter
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the gold standard when it comes to diamond grading. A GIA-certified diamond means you can trust that the stone has been independently assessed for quality, giving you confidence in its authenticity and value.
At Delorenzo Diamonds, we are proud to offer only GIA-certified diamonds, ensuring that every piece you purchase meets the highest standards of excellence.
Knowing the 4Cs — Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat Weight—empowers you to make an informed choice when selecting diamond jewelry.
