Basic 4Cs

Your pulse is like a jackhammer. Sweat trickles with the glare of 100 spotlights. Your ego shrinks to the size of… er…..half a carat?

What’s his name, Francois? Frappe? The smug #@&% watches you squirm. All you want is a diamond for your sweetheart.

If this supercharged carbon was beer… or cameras, it would be a breeze. But diamonds, you’ve gotta learn about carats, clarity, brilliance, color, marquise, Tiffany......

Well we are here to make it as painless as possible. Even fun!

The first half dozen topics are essential stuff if you just want to get it over with asap - not get ripped off - and get a nice sparkly bit of carbon in a ring.

There are heaps of links and pages for nerds or head over heels types. You can register and get shill free help from the forum junkies and pro's too.

We want you to learn enough to ask the right questions in any store, or learn how to cut thru diamond jargon and buy online. Your choice!

Lets start with diamond grading reports.
