Diamond Education

Cushion

The cushion diamond is a classic and charming piece that particularly reminds people of the early 1900s. Its shape is somewhat similar to that of the round diamond but resembles a square with rounded corners instead.

Diamond Cut

The term carat is often misunderstood. It refers to a diamond’s weight, not its size. Another misperception is that larger carat weight is better than smaller carat weight. Carat weight is not related to sparkle.

Diamond Color

Did you know that it’s very rare to find a diamond that doesn’t have any color at all? In fact, diamonds are found in almost any naturally occurring color, including gray, white, yellow, green, brown, and pink.

Diamond Clarity

Diamond clarity is the assessment of small imperfections on the surface and within the stone. Surface flaws are called blemishes, while internal defects are known as inclusions. In most cases, a diamond’s beauty is not affected by these since most inclusions can’t be seen with the naked eye. When referring to inclusions, gemologists often use the term “internal characteristics” instead of flaws.
