Since its founding in 1939 by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the 4Cs of diamonds, the "king of gemstones", have become the universal standard of the global diamond industry. Carat is not only a unit of weight, but also an important indicator of value, and as the number of carats increases, the rarity of diamonds increases exponentially, with 1 carat diamonds being more common, and diamonds over 5 carats being collectible.

In the color dimension, from D to Z colorless, the slightest color difference can significantly affect the beauty and value of a diamond. A professional appraiser will compare a diamond to a standard masterstone under a specific light source to accurately determine its color grade. In terms of clarity, FL (Flawless) diamonds are extremely rare without any inclusions or blemishes under 10x magnification; I3 diamonds, on the other hand, have obvious imperfections that can even affect transparency and durability.

The cut is the "second life" of a diamond, which determines the fire and brilliance of the diamond. An ideal cut diamond where light can be perfectly reflected and refracted internally, giving it a brilliant glow; Poorly cut diamonds, on the other hand, can cause light to leak and dull. In addition, the cut is broken down into proportions, symmetry and polish, each of which is precisely controlled to create a diamond's mesmerizing brilliance.
