Explanation:
"Classement du diamant selon les 4 critères

Le diamant est classé selon la règle des 4C : Carat, Clarity, Color, Cut (Normes Internationales)

■La couleur (de D pour la meilleure couleur à M-Z)
■La pureté (de IF pour la meilleure pureté à P3 pour la moins recherchée)
■La taille (de Excellente à Mauvaise), le finish, le poli et la symétrie
■Le poids : le carat est l’unité de mesure d’un diamant (1 carat = 0,20 gramme) dont la devise est en 100 centièmes."
