GIA’s 4Cs app features video and interactive tools that teach consumers about how GIA grades color, cut, clarity and carat weight. It explains GIA’s D-to-Z color scale and how diamond color can affect value, GIA’s clarity scale and how diamond clarity can affect value, the factors that affect a diamond’s cut grade and the origins of the carat system.

- Typical inclusions and blemishes at various points in the GIA Clarity Scale

- A diamond’s anatomy and how various parameters influence a diamond’s cut grade

- How a diamond’s size changes by carat weight and enables consumers to compare the sizes of different diamonds
