Carat, Color, Clarity, and Cut. Many people think that all they need to know to properly evaluate and buy a diamond are the basics of the Four C’s.
But Joshua Fishman, a third-generation diamantaire with over thirty-five years’ experience buying and selling diamonds, knows this is a myth.
Another prolific myth Fishman debunks is the idea that diamonds are just a commodity. If you are looking at two diamonds with the same grade, he explains, the less expensive one is not necessarily going to be the better buy because other qualities that affect the look of the stone must also be factored in. He also challenges the myth of the “ideal cut.”
In this Second Edition of Beyond the Four C’s, Fishman tackles these myths and many other misunderstandings that arise because of the myriad complexities involved in evaluating diamonds, providing you with an education that truly will qualify you to take home the diamond that is ideal for you.
This is the most comprehensive educational book about diamonds to date. In incisive detail, Fishman explains everything you need to know about diamonds, from the terminology describing diamonds to how to tell if a diamond is real, and to how and where to sell a diamond, and much more.

About the Author
Joshua Fishman is a third-generation diamantaire whose grandfather, Abraham, and father, David, started A. Fishman & Son in New York City in 1947. Both Abraham and David originally came from Cracow, having left Poland before the beginning of WWII. With degrees from Lehigh University and Harvard Law School, Joshua practiced corporate law from 1976 through 1982 before joining his father in the family diamond business.
Happily married for forty-four years, the author has three accomplished children, Renee, Adam, and Jessica, as well as five adorable grandchildren, Oliver, Chase, Henri, Charlotte, and Sabrina.
His book Beyond the Four C’s: What you should REALLY know before you buy a Diamond is a compilation of the extensive collection of educational materials he has available online, now gathered together in one guide. This Second Edition adds additional chapters on subjects like the GIA Cut Grade, Lab-created Diamonds and more.
