be described as a half-
Clarity
Almost every diamond will contain some blemishes, and inclusions formed during the course of its crystallization. There is a grading structure (GIA clarity grading scale) used to describe inclusions found within the diamond.
Color
The "color" of a diamond refers to the presence or absence of inherent coloration in a white diamond. The whiter the diamond is the greater its value since a colorless diamond will allow increased and brilliant light to pass through it.
Cut
Cut is properly referred to as the "make" or quality of the way the diamond has been crafted. "Cut" is not the "shape" of the diamond. The cut of the diamond is the only "C" that is entirely manipulated by the diamond cutter, and will determine the beauty and value of the diamond.
