What decides a diamond’s quality?

The cut,color,clarity, and carat weight all affect a diamond’s quality. A diamonds cut affects how well its angles align to create their classic sparkle, and color is how white or yellow the diamond is. Clarity refers to how clear the stone appears, and carat weight is used to measure the size of the diamond.
