This documentation is often known as a diamond certificate. It should include information about the<a title=\"4Cs of Diamonds\" href=\"https:\/\/hk.co\/diamond-education\">diamond&#8217;s cut, colour, clarity, carat weight<\/a>, and, most importantly, its origin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Transparency in the Supply Chain<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose diamond companies that are <\/span><a title=\"Diamond Traceability\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hk.co\/blog\/power-of-diamond-traceability-building-trust-in-supply-chain\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transparent about their supply chain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
