Diamonds... More than just pretty...
The diamond is one of earth's most rare gifts. An average of a million carats of diamonds must be mined to find just one 1-carat stone. That means a 1-carat diamond is really one in a million! About 250 tons of earth must be excavated to find that same 1-carat stone. You really are moving mountains for your loved one when you give the gift of a diamond! There is no better gemstone to represent our deepest and most personal emotions than the diamond. Not only is it the hardest natural substance, it is also the purest - pure carbon- crystallized under amazing amounts of heat and pressure deep within the earth. And you thought diamonds were just pretty!
The Five C's...A Guide to Quality and Value
Cut
Cut is the most important factor when buying a diamond.
Color
The best color for a diamond is no color. A totally colorless diamond best allows white light to pass effortlessly through it and be dispersed as rainbows of color.
Clarity
Most diamonds contain very tiny, natural birthmarks known as inclusions. However, the fewer and smaller the inclusions are the less likely it is that they will interfere with the passage of light through the diamond.
Carat-Weight
The weight of a diamond is measurable in carats. One carat is divided into 100 points, so that a diamond of 75 points weighs 3/4 of a carat.
