THE 4C'S OF DIAMONDS
Discover the beauty and brilliance of natural diamonds. Learn about the 4 Cs, Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat, to make the right choice for your perfect ring.
CUT
The cut determines how well a diamond reflects light. A brilliant cut gives the stone its characteristic sparkle.
COLOUR
Diamonds range from colorless to slightly tinted. The less color, the rarer and more valuable the stone.
CLARITY
Clarity measures internal flaws or inclusions. Higher clarity means fewer imperfections and better brilliance.
CARAT
Carat refers to a diamond's weight, not its size. Influencing both the appearance and price of the stone.
Round Brilliant
Classic, exceptional brilliance and fire.
Princess Cut
Modern square shape with sharp corners.
Oval Cut
Elegant, elongated look that appears larger.
Emerald Cut
Rounded corners with vintage charm.
A DIAMOND'S CUT
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DIAMOND
Diamonds come in many shapes — each with its own personality, brilliance, and symbolism. Understanding these differences is the first step in finding the perfect stone. Whether you're designing a ring, choosing a gift, or simply discovering what suits your style, this guide will help you explore the unique beauty of each cut.
A Diamond's Colour
A diamond's color ranges from colorless to warm yellow tones. Subtle differences can influence brilliance and value — this chart helps you understand how each grade compares at a glance.
A Diamond's Clarity
No two diamonds are ever exactly alike.
The tiny internal features and surface marks found in diamonds, known as inclusions and blemishes, are nature's signature, unique to each stone. Graded from Flawless (FL) to Included (I1–I3), clarity affects a diamond's brilliance, rarity, and value. Most diamonds fall in the middle of this scale, where inclusions are minimal and invisible to the naked eye, creating a beautiful balance between purity and individuality.
At LXRY ROOM, we handpick every diamond with an uncompromising eye for excellence. Our commitment to rarity, refinement, and timeless elegance means we never use diamonds below SI1 clarity in any of our stones. Why? Because anything less simply doesn't reflect who we are, or what your moment deserves.

Understanding Diamond Carat
More than a number — carat weight defines presence, balance, and brilliance.
What Carat Means
The term carat refers to a diamond's weight, not its size. One carat equals 0.2 grams, but how that weight is distributed can influence how large a diamond appears.
The Illusion of Size
Two diamonds of equal carat weight can appear different in size depending on their cut and shape. A well‑cut diamond maximizes brilliance, making it appear larger.
Choosing Your Perfect Carat
The best carat weight is about balance — between size, style and what feels meaningful to you. At LXRY ROOM, we guide you to find the carat that feels right.
