💎 Understanding the 4 C's of Diamonds 💎 Unlock the secrets to choosing the perfect diamond with the 4 C's: Carat: Measures the diamond’s weight. Carat weight has the most influence on diamond value, but diamonds of different shapes may appear larger or smaller than another, even when they are the same carat weight. Color: Refers to the diamond's hue. The less color, the more valuable the diamond, with D being colorless and Z showing noticeable color. Clarity: Evaluates the presence of internal or external flaws (inclusions and blemishes). The clearer the diamond, the more valuable it is. Cut: Defines how well the diamond is shaped and faceted. A well-cut diamond maximizes its brilliance and sparkle. Want to learn more about the 4 C's? ✨💍 Master the 4 C's by watching our eLearning videos here! https://lnkd.in/ghJAEDnM

So thrilled to have you a part of the IGI team Tiffany Stevens!
Officially one month at International Gemological Institute - IGI this week! In only a few weeks I have learned so much about the complexity and importance of the work we do globally at #IGI. I'm excited to bring ideas to the table and to collaborate on the many existing initiatives and changes in play. A huge thank you to my new colleagues both in NYC and around the world (10 countries!) who have shown me an incredibly warm welcome. Our industry is going through a very challenging moment and I hope to be part of helping our trade navigate successfully through these quickly changing times with the ultimate goal of protecting and enhancing the experience of the jewelry consumer. As much of a challenge as the current moment may be for many of us, we do get to gaze at diamonds and gems all day and that's not a bad way to go through life! We have to remember how lucky we are to be together in this industry. #gemology #jewelryindustry #diamonds (of course wearing my #elsaperetti High Tide earrings in this pic-wearing something Elsa every day to supercharge me in this new experience!
