Episode Overview Andy breaks down the diamond industry's "sacred scripture" - the Four C's - but cuts through the BS to give you what you actually need to know. This is part one of a two-part deep dive into diamond grading, focusing on Cut and Color. Key Takeaways The Bottom Line on Diamond Education: You'll spend roughly 2 hours of your entire life discussing the Four C'sDon't overthink it - learn enough to have an intelligent conversation with a proFind someone you trust to guide you through the rest Why the Four C's Exist: Created by GIA in the 1940s to standardize diamond gradingBefore this, buying diamonds was like the Wild WestGave everyone a common language (that's why color starts at D) Cut - The King of the Four C's: Cut is everything - it's what makes a diamond come aliveNot about shape (round, oval, etc.) - it's about proportions and craftsmanshipA great cut can make a diamond worth twice as much as a poorly cut oneAndy's advice: "Get the best damn cut you can afford. Everything else is negotiable." Color Demystified: Scale runs D (colorless) to Z (noticeably yellow/brown)D-F: Exceptional white, priced accordinglyG-H: Looks white to most peopleI-J: Still looks great, especially in yellow goldMost people can't tell D from H without training and special equipment The Reality Check: Your fiancé won't be carrying master stones around to compareDon't pay for colorless if near colorless looks the same to youBut some guys want top shelf just for the satisfaction of knowing what they have Memorable Quote "I'll know." - The client who taught Andy that sometimes it's not about what others can see, it's about personal satisfaction. What's Next Part 2 will cover Clarity and Carat Weight - the remaining two C's that complete the diamond grading system.
