Diamonds are timeless, but not all diamonds are equal. To understand their true value, you need to know the 4Cs—Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat.
- Cut defines how brilliantly a diamond sparkles.
- Color grades range from rare colorless (D) to warmer tones (Z).
- Clarity shows whether a diamond has natural inclusions.
- Carat measures its weight and size.
Together, the 4Cs determine a diamond’s beauty, quality, and price. But how do you know a jeweller is being honest about these details? That’s where certification comes in.
The IGI (International Gemological Institute, www.igi.org), founded in 1975, is one of the world’s leading diamond grading labs. It evaluates both natural and lab-grown diamonds and is widely trusted by jewellers worldwide. The GIA (Gemological Institute of America, www.gia.edu), established in 1931, created the 4Cs grading system itself and is considered the industry’s gold standard.
Buying diamond jewellery with an IGI or GIA certificate ensures you’re getting what you pay for. It confirms the stone’s authenticity, provides transparency in pricing, and protects you during resale or insurance claims.
⚠️ Without certification, the risks are high—you could overpay for a lower-quality diamond, unknowingly buy a lab-grown stone sold as natural, or even risk counterfeits.
That’s why at kapurjewels, every diamond is certified—so your sparkle always comes with trust.
