The 4Cs of Diamonds

Understanding the 4Cs — Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat — is the key to choosing a diamond you'll love forever. At Lara Jewels, every diamond we offer is IGI or GIA certified, so you can shop with complete confidence.

Cut

Cut determines how well a diamond reflects light. A well-cut diamond will appear more brilliant and fiery. We offer Excellent and Very Good cut grades across our collection.

Color

Diamond color is graded from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). Our lab grown diamonds are graded D-E — the highest colorless range — giving you exceptional brilliance at maker-direct prices.

Clarity

Clarity measures the presence of internal inclusions or external blemishes. Our diamonds are graded VVS (Very Very Slightly Included) or better, meaning inclusions are invisible to the naked eye.

Carat

Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. Larger carat weights are rarer and more valuable. With lab grown diamonds from Lara Jewels, you get significantly more carat weight for your budget compared to mined diamonds.
