Choosing a diamond, especially one that marks a moment, a promise, or a personal milestone, can feel overwhelming.
But it doesn’t have to be.

At Wahe, we believe knowledge is power, and that clarity should exist not only inside your diamond but around it.
Whether you’re investing in an engagement ring or a signature piece just for you, knowing the 4Cs can help you choose with confidence.

1. Cut: The Spark Behind the Stone

What does it mean:
The cut of a diamond doesn’t refer to its shape (like round or oval), but how well it’s been sculpted. It’s the precision, proportion, and symmetry that determine how beautifully the diamond reflects light.

Why it matters:
A well-cut lab-grown diamond sparkles with intention and fire, even more than one with perfect color or clarity. It’s the cut that gives it life.

2. Color: The Art of Subtlety

What does it mean:
Diamonds are graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow). The closer to D, the more “white” the stone appears.

Why it matters:
Colorless diamonds feel crisp, clean, and timeless. But near-colorless options (like G or H) offer stunning value with almost no visible difference to the naked eye.

3. Clarity: Nature’s Fingerprint

What it means:
Clarity measures the presence of inclusions (internal marks) or blemishes (external marks). The scale runs from Flawless (FL) to Included (I1-I3).

Why it matters:
Most inclusions are microscopic — they don’t affect beauty, only grading. What matters is that nothing disrupts the diamond’s transparency or shine.

4. Carat: The Weight of Emotion

What does it mean:
Carat refers to a diamond’s weight, not its size. A higher carat typically means a larger appearance, but cut and shape can influence how big a stone feels on your hand.

Why it matters:
Carat is personal. Some prefer a subtle sparkle; others want a bold, sculptural presence. There’s no rule — just what feels right for you.

Why the 4Cs Still Matter — Even With Lab-Grown Diamonds

Lab-grown diamonds may be ethical and more accessible, but they still deserve thoughtful selection.
At Wahe, we handpick each stone to ensure it meets our design and quality standards — because your jewellery should last a lifetime (and beyond).

Whether you’re curating your first fine piece or searching for the ring, understanding the 4Cs lets you choose what truly matters:

 Brilliance, balance, and a diamond that feels like you.
