L<\/b>et\u2019s start from the basics. You\u2019re probably familiar with the 4C\u2019s of a diamond \u2013 cut, colour, clarity and carat. For those of you who aren\u2019t familiar, cut refers to the proportions of the diamond while colour refers to how white the diamond is. Clarity refers to the internal and external blemishes of a diamond and carat refers to its weight. Most people tend to focus on the latter 3C\u2019s and ignore the most important aspect \u2013 the diamond\u2019s cut. Now, although most certificates provide a Cut grade of a diamond, with the \u201cExcellent\u201d grade being the highest, what most buyers don\u2019t know is that there is a bottom and top tier within the \u201cExcellent\u201d grade. Because you have no way of knowing if your diamond belongs to the top or bottom tiered \u201cExcellent\u201d grade, you\u2019d be buying with uncertainty.<\/p>
