Diamonds Demystified.

First, we'll demystify the diamond selection process with you. We have seen it play out time and time again for generations–ultimately, the diamond a customer is intuitively drawn to is the one they fall in love with...not the one attached to a spreadsheet.

The 4Cs, although important to understand, are just a beginning point. Cut, color, clarity, and carat weight make up a set of standards used across a vast industry to assign a value to diamonds. But this isn't industry. It's personal. The choices you make will be inspired by what's special and meaningful to you both. That's the way it should be. And frankly, it's not much different from our own diamond selection process.

4Cs

A simple overview

Cut

  • Excellent

  • Very Good

  • Good

  • Fair

  • Poor

Represents roughly the top 15% of diamond quality based on cut. Reflects nearly as much light as the ideal cut, but for a lower price.

Represents roughly the top 25% of diamond quality based on cut. Reflects most light that enters. Much less expensive than a very good cut.

Represents roughly the top 35% of diamond quality based on cut. Still a quality diamond, but a fair cut will not be as brilliant as a good cut.

Diamonds that are generally so deep and narrow or shallow and wide that they lose most of the light out the sides and bottom.

alt:text rings
  • solitaire

  • three-stone

  • channel

  • shared prong

  • micro pavé

Solitaire engagement rings feature a band and one gemstone in a classic design. Many who favor diamond solitaire engagement rings consider the singular gem in this classification of bridal to be the best expression of the one love and one life that is shared when two become one.

Three stone engagement rings are designed with one center stone and two side stones. Most three stone engagement rings have all three gems fairly close in size though sometimes the central stone may be larger than the outer flanking stones and may also be slightly elevated above them.

Channel set engagement rings have gemstones set into a metal channel with no metal separating the gemstones. Instead, gemstones in the channel set engagement rings flow together in one continuous row and present a clean, elegant and contemporary appearance.

Shared prong engagement ring settings hold one diamond or many diamonds up and away from the finger while securely holding them in place with two, four or six prongs. The lifted diamond setting allows light to shine up through the culet of the diamond (the bottom pointed tip) and out the table of the diamond (the flat top of the cut diamond). Shared prong diamond engagement rings offer the maximum amount of brilliance and sparkle.

Micro Pavé engagement rings combine a contemporary style with an antique look. Micro Pavé engagement rings are handcrafted with multitudes of small diamonds which are closely spaced in the setting much in the way that an old street may be paved with cobblestones; The literal definition of pavé means paved and micro refers to the small sizes of the gems. Micro Pavé refers to both the style of the engagement ring setting as well as the manner or method with which it is done
