How to choose diamonds?
Choosing the right diamond is crucial, and it starts with understanding the 4C’s of diamond quality. The term "diamond color" refers to a diamond's absence of color since the most expensive diamonds are colorless. A diamond's dimensions, symmetry, and polish are referred to as its cut. The presence of internal and visible faults or imperfections is referred to as a diamond's clarity. The term "carat weight" denotes a diamond's weight. The 4Cs - cut, clarity, color, and carat weight - are the most important factors when choosing a diamond. Cut refers to the diamond's proportions, symmetry, and polish and affects its brilliance and fire. Clarity refers to the presence or absence of inclusions and blemishes within the diamond, affecting its beauty and value. Color refers to the presence or absence of color in the diamond, with colorless diamonds being the most valuable. Carat weight refers to the weight of the diamond and affects its size and overall value. Balancing these four factors can help you choose the perfect diamond for your needs and budget.

Diamond Certification and Grading
Factors to consider when buying a diamond
When buying a diamond, there are several factors to consider, including budget, personal preferences, and the occasion. We suggest that customers prioritize cut & Clarity quality over size or carat weight because the diamond's cut determines its sparkle and brilliance. When buying diamonds, knowing which ones are right for you is important. Our diamond layout is the perfect choice for those in the market for an eternity band, offering a continuous circle of diamonds that symbolize everlasting love. If you're looking for a 3 stone ring with a large center stone, our side stones are carefully chosen to complement the center stone, such as pairing a cushion-cut diamond with half-moon diamonds.
Tips for buying a diamond online or in-store
We understand that buying a diamond can be overwhelming, which is why we offer our customers expert guidance, whether they are shopping in-store or online. When buying a diamond online, we recommend reading online grading reports, verifying the seller's credentials, and looking for high-quality images or videos of the diamond. When shopping in-store, we suggest that customers look at diamonds under different lighting and ask to see the diamond's grading report.
Here are some additional tips for caring for your diamond:
- Store your diamond properly: Store your diamond in a cushion box or separate compartment in your jewelry box to prevent it from getting scratched or damaged. Keep it separate from other jewelry, especially that with tougher stones like sapphires or rubies.
- Clean your diamond properly: To clean your diamond, use a soft cloth made of velvet or microfiber. Place the diamond gently on the cloth and ensure that you apply only gentle pressure to avoid causing any damage to the stone.
- Keep your diamond away from harsh chemicals: Avoid using home cleaners and chemicals like chlorine and bleach around your diamond. These chemicals have the ability to damage metals and discolor gems.
- Remove jewelry during physical activities: It is advisable to remove your jewelry before engaging in any physical activity or working out. Wearing jewelry during such activities can cause diamonds to chip or even break, especially if they are struck at the right angle.
- Maintain your diamond's worth and brightness: You can make sure your diamond stays gorgeous for years to come by following these straightforward suggestions. Remember that maintaining your diamond's worth and brightness just requires a little bit of care.
