Diamond 4Cs Grading (Ringleaders' explanation) Methodology
entityId: methodology-diamond-4cs
Ringleaders' in-house explanation of the diamond grading framework - cut, colour, clarity and carat - used to assess and select the diamonds it sells and sets, emphasising cut and clarity as the qualities most affecting a diamond's durability and appearance.
Evidence
“Cut encompasses shape, cutting style, and light refraction quality; 'more facets = brighter' is marketing fiction, and cut is one of the two most important visual qualities.”
Wholesale Diamonds - 4Cs the easy version - Ringleaders - published by Ringleaders — https://www.ringleaders.com.au/wholesale-diamonds-brisbane/ [definition]
“The white diamond colour scale starts at D, the optimum grade, and continues alphabetically toward Z as the colour becomes progressively tainted; Ringleaders specialises in D through H grades only.”
Wholesale Diamonds - 4Cs the easy version - Ringleaders - published by Ringleaders — https://www.ringleaders.com.au/wholesale-diamonds-brisbane/ [definition]
“The fewer anomalies, or inclusions, the better the clarity; clarity is the most dangerous of the 4Cs because common inclusions can cause diamonds to chip or crack.”

Carat Metric
entityId: metric-carat
Carat is the unit of weight used to measure a diamond or gemstone, equal to one-fifth of a gram; Ringleaders notes that weight increases disproportionately to visible size as carat rises.
Evidence
“Carat is the unit of the weight of a diamond or gem only. One carat is one-fifth of a gram. A 100% weight increase yields only a 26% increase in diameter.”

Churn & Burn ProprietaryTerm
entityId: term-churn-and-burn

Ringleaders' term for a jewellery industry business model that prioritises fast, cheap, disposable production over durable craftsmanship, which the business argues has made ethical jewellers with qualified staff uncompetitive.
Evidence
“The 'Churn & Burn' approach has rendered ethical jewellers with qualified staff uncompetitive, replaced by factories producing disposable jewellery sold across online, chain, and designer channels.”
