"I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect.
And it’s these things I’d believe in… I love her and it is the beginning of everything.”
~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, on wife Zelda

Where do you start?
Breaking down the 4 C's
1. The Cut of the Diamond
The cut of a Diamond isn’t about its shape but how well it’s crafted to reflect light. A great cut creates that dazzling sparkle we all love and catches the eye.. A Diamond’s cut is graded from Excellent to Poor, with higher grades offering the most brilliance.
2. The Clarity of the Diamond
Clarity measures how clean a diamond is, inside and out. Almost all diamonds have tiny imperfections, but the fewer there are, the clearer and more valuable the diamond.
3. The Carat (weight) of the Diamond
Carat is the weight of the diamond, not its size. One carat equals 200 milligrams. A higher carat weight usually means a larger diamond, but the overall appearance of the stone depends on the cut and shape as well and just as important in finding the right one.
4. The Colour of the Diamond
Diamonds come in a range of colours. Most have a slight tint, with pure, colourless diamonds being the rarest. The less colour a diamond has, the brighter and more vibrant it looks.
Choosing the right SHAPE (for you).
Diamonds come in different shapes and it’s one of the most personal aspects of choosing a diamond, as it reflects your style and personality.
