The "Four C's of Diamonds"
Diamond Cut - Cut is probably the most important and challenging of the Four C's to understand. The brilliance of a diamond depends heavily on its cut. Barnett's Diamond Company carries only the better grades of diamond cuts, to ensure that your jewelry is as exquisite as possible.
Diamond Clarity - Most diamonds contain some inner flaws, or inclusions, that occur during the formation process. The visibility, number and size of these inclusions determine what is called the clarity of a diamond. Diamonds that are clear create more brilliance, and thus are more highly prized, and priced. Clarity is one of the factors that Barnett's Diamond Company in Escondido takes into consideration when selecting your diamond.
Diamond Color - Colorless diamonds are the most desirable since they allow the most refraction of light (sparkle). Off white diamonds absorb light, inhibiting brilliance. To ensure that your diamond from Barnett's Diamond Company is of the highest quality, we review many diamonds to find the perfect one for you. Our diamonds are selected to eliminate those of lesser color grades for your budget.
Diamond Carat Weight - A carat is the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured. Since large diamonds are found less commonly than small diamonds, the price of a diamond rises exponentionaly to its size.
