A Diamond is the hardest natural substance known to man.
Every diamond is unique with its own individual beauty,
a rarity that makes them precious and desirable.
The quality of a diamond is measurable by certification
and is an accurate basis for valuation. There are many
different laboratories around the world, GIA, HRD, IGI,
EGL are the most recognised and are always our first choice.
The four basic features that guide certification are easy
to remember. They are Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat,
known in the trade as the 4 C’s. |
| |
 |
| Cut is the only 4c that isn’t dictated by nature.
The best cuts generally have the most facets to allow
maximum light reflection creating more brilliance and
sparkle. Diamonds are cut into many shapes, the most popular
of which are round brilliant, princess, heart, marquise,
pear, emerald and oval. |
| |
 |
| Diamonds are found in a range of natural colours from
totally colourless (rare and highly sought after) to light
yellow with various colour shadings between. Diamonds
also occur in tinted colours such as pink, blue and green
which again are extremely rare. |
| |
 |
| Most diamonds contain tiny inclusions which makes each
diamond unique. These inclusions are generally small pieces
of other minerals or carbon that haven’t fully crystallised.
Inclusions do not generally effect the diamonds beauty
nor endanger its durability but the smaller they are the
more the diamond will sparkle and the more valuable it
will be. |
| |
 |
| A diamond is measured in carat weight, each carat is
divided into increments of 100 points. The carat weight
is guaranteed by the individual certificate of authenticity.
