What is the 5th C?
The 4 C's are: Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat Weight. But there is a 5th C most people are not familiar with: CRYSTAL The 5th C. Otherwise known in the industry as the material from which the Diamond is cut, can make a huge difference in the optics transparency and lucidity of the diamond. Some diamond deposits are known to have cloudy crystal(material), or clear material.
When we buy diamonds from the cutters, we only choose diamonds cut from the best diamond crystals.
