The 4 Cs of Diamonds
Beyond standard carat weights and laboratory acronyms, discover how proportions and optical symmetry govern true fire and brilliance.
The Most Critical Factor of Brilliance
While other Cs are determined by nature in the earth's mantle, Cut is the direct signature of human lapidary mastery. A diamond with flawless clarity but poor cut will look glassy and dull. Civara selects strictly Triple Excellent cut stones where light entering the crown reflects back through the table with maximum brilliance.
The Absence of Colour (D through J)
Diamond colour grading measures the absence of body tint. We curate natural diamonds in the E–G colour spectrum (colourless to near colourless), ensuring crystalline whiteness that sets harmoniously in both 18k yellow gold and white gold alloys.
Internal Inclusions & Eye-Clean Perfection
Under 10x gemmological magnification, nature leaves microscopic crystallization patterns. At Civara, every stone is guaranteed Eye-Clean (VS1 or higher) — with no blemishes or inclusions visible to the naked human eye.
Weight, Diameter & Finger Coverage
One carat equals exactly 200 milligrams. However, two 1.00ct diamonds can have completely different perceived sizes based on pavilion depth. We optimize crown spread so your diamond displays optimal millimeter face coverage without compromising light performance.
