Guide to Diamonds

The 4 C's  (cut, colour, clarity, carat weight)

Various characteristics of diamonds are graded and categorised, these are usually known as the "four Cs" of diamonds which are considered the most important grades and categories:

• Cut
• Clarity
• Colour
• Carat weight

Sheila Fleet uses mainly brilliant cut (round) diamonds which are of a good SI1 clarity and G/H colour to give the best fire and sparkle.  Prices for higher grade diamonds are available on request, please contact us for more information.

There are never bad diamonds only bad people!  We can guarantee through our suppliers that diamonds are only sourced from good reputable people.  Everyone we deal with in the diamond trade abides by the Kimberly Process and are not involved in funding conflict.
