The Four C’s for Colored Gemstones
Just like diamonds, gemstones are evaluated using a version of the Four C’s:
• Color: The most important factor—look for rich, vibrant hues.
• Clarity: Natural inclusions are common, especially in emeralds. Look for overall beauty rather than perfection.
• Cut: A well-cut gemstone enhances brilliance and color.
• Carat Weight: Bigger isn’t always better; focus on balance and proportion.
