THE
W RLD
OF DIAMOND BUYING
If a diamond is a girl's best friend, what qualities should we be looking for in
this companion? Lucky for us, experts in the field have made answering this
question quite simple. Professionals in the industry turn to the Gemological
Institute of America (GIA) and the American Gem Society (AGS) as they have
established the globally accepted standards for characterizing diamonds and
dissected the indicators of value into the Four C's: Color, Cut, Carat, and Clarity.
