The 4Cs in 60 seconds
Four measures. One decision.
01 · Cut
Cut
The single biggest driver of sparkle. We buy to an Excellent cut standard, and the cut grade is on the report.
02 · Color
Color
How colorless a diamond is. Our standard is E or F, near the top of the scale.
03 · Clarity
Clarity
How clean it is inside. Our standard is VVS2: eye-clean and brilliant in every light.
04 · Carat
Carat
The weight, shown in every product title. Bigger is not always better. Cut makes carat look its best.

Read the guideThe Irdoja standard
Every diamond, held to one standard.
We aim for E or F color, VVS2 clarity and an Excellent cut. The grade on your piece is whatever its own report says, and the product page states it. Natural centers over 0.30 ct arrive with a GIA report; lab-grown center stones over 0.50 ct with an IGI report. Every piece is handcrafted to order, and the report travels with the finished piece.
