Cut and Clarity

There are four important factors to consider when judging a diamond's quality and value: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. These are commonly referred to as the Four Cs. We recommended that you learn as much as you can about diamonds prior to your purchase, and offer you the following information on how Drue Sanders shops for diamonds.

A unique benefit to Drue Sanders' clients is our membership in a large diamond buying group which gains us access to over 20,000 diamond cutters around the world. And Drue Sanders purchases certified diamonds only, helping to put its customers at ease, taking away the anxiety of such an important purchase.

Drue Sanders believes that the cut is the one part where the values can be hidden. If a diamond is not cut properly, there can be up to a 50% reduction in the value of the stone. Therefore, with a philosophy of only providing the best, Drue Sanders only sells ideal cut diamonds; no less than a colorless H rating, and no lower than an SI-1 quality rating.We believe that the ideal cut provides the most sparkle and brilliance for what will be the most important jewelry of your lifetime.
