Your journey to the perfect diamond begins with a one-on-one consultation. Fifth C will guide you down the right road, educating you and listening to your desires and needs. The process begins with The Four Cs: the four important features that must be considered when finding the perfect diamond.

Clarity is a measure of inclusion a diamond may contain. An inclusion is a spot or blemish contained within the stone. Inclusion may take the form of a black spec (often called a Carbon spot), a white feather or the appearance of a crack.

Color – Diamond color can range from a pink to canary yellow, from champaign brown to blue. However the most desired color is not actually a color but rather colorless. The closer a diamond is to being colorless the more rare and expensive it is.

Carat – Since all diamonds are of the same density, carat really translates to the weight of the diamond. The higher the carat weight, the larger the diamond.

Cut – This is the only characteristic of a diamond that we can control. The more perfect the cut, the more light captured, the more amazing the diamond looks, the more fire/brilliance the diamond reflects

The Fifth C, and the reason to choose Fifth C when looking for the perfect diamond, is Chuck Konderla. I will share over 11 years of experience in selecting the perfect diamond. Although there are 4 commonly recognized "C"s, I bring forth the other characteristics you need to consider when making your selection. For example, fluorescence, depth/width ratios, table percentage, crown, pavilion and culet measurements, polish, symmetry, and appraisal bodies such as GIA, IGI, EGL, AGS, independent graduate gemologists etc.
