Clarity refers to the blemishes in the diamond. A diamond without blemishes is “flawless”. The color of the diamond is categorized from D to Z. D meaning colorless, through to Z, the most color. Some shades of the diamond are blue, pink, white, red, and yellow, among others. The red diamond is the rarest. The last C, the Cut, refers to the shininess and manufacturing of the diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
