Rolex briefed us on their approach to precious stones, and they talked about the 4"C"s, which are the only considerations, which are Cut, Color, Clarity and Carrots.

Thanks for the link.

Disregarding all the marketing hype etc. you cannot help but be sold after reading that. The manufacturing process and facilities are incredible!

'Jake's World' is always an enthusiastic read, but if you want to delve deeper, a far more authoritative and literate (!!) source would be James Dowling's stuff -

It should be the five Cs: cut, colour, clarity, carats/carrots and charge (like a raging bull).
