Understanding the 5Cs Made Simple

The 5Cs — cut, colour, clarity, carat and confidence — are the foundation of every diamond’s beauty. But understanding them doesn’t need to be complicated.

Cut affects brilliance — a well-cut diamond reflects light perfectly, creating that unmistakable sparkle.

Colour measures how pure or warm the diamond’s tone is, ranging from icy white to golden hues.

Clarity refers to internal characteristics, or inclusions, that occur naturally in every diamond.

Carat represents the diamond’s size and weight — but remember, beauty isn’t measured by size alone.

Confidence knowing you're being looked after by trusted professionals with four generations in the industry.

When comparing diamonds in store, focus on how each one makes you feel rather than chasing the highest grades. Our consultants can help you compare options side by side to find the perfect balance of brilliance and value.
