Premise:


The 4Cs: Color, Clarity, Cut, Carat, were established by GIA (Gemological Institute Of America) and since then have established the world standard still used today in the selection and evaluation of the diamond.


DIAMOND - COLOR


Subtle color differences can greatly affect the value of the diamond. Two diamonds of the same clarity, same weight and same cut can have different variations of value based on their respective degree of color. A slight change in color can cause a noticeable difference in the final value. The variegated color scale of the diamond ranges from colorless to light yellow and brown. The closer to colorless the diamond, the rarer and more expensive they are

DIAMOND - CLARITY


Purity Diamonds are formed in the depths of the earth, exposed to extremely high pressures and temperatures, often contain inclusions. The purity of the diamond refers to the absence of these inclusions. Diamonds without inclusions are rare, and rarity affects the value of a diamond. Diamonds are assigned a degree of purity that refers to a be precise scale where the lower the inclusions, the higher the value of the diamond. Each diamond is unique. Nobody is absolutely perfect, although some are approaching perfection.

DIAMOND - CUT


The cut of the diamond if performed to perfection a wow effect is obtained. Diamonds are renowned for their ability to transmit light through its intense brilliance. We often think of the cut of the diamond as the shape of the same, round, heart, oval, marquise, but the cut of a diamond refers to how well the facets are made which interact with the light and also here, we find a precise scale of necessary reference to indicate how well the cut was performed. The study of cutting is a precise art of manufacturing that respects the rigid canons of symmetry, proportions, and polishing; all these elements added together give the diamond the magic of brilliance following the crossing of light.

DIAMOND - CARAT


We are used to buying products using weight units such as: kilogram, gram, quintal ... However there are people who have never bought a diamond and are accustomed to the idea that the price and weight are correalated but unfortunately they will be surprised when it is noticed that if 1 carat of diamond supposedly cost $ 8000.00 the cost of 2 carats will be $ 18000.00 for the simple concept that larger diamonds are increasingly rare. A carat corresponds to 0.2 of a gram, a carat is divided into a hundred points, therefore we can say that 0.001 corresponds to a hundredth of a carat or a point of carat.
 

DIAMOND - FLUORESCENCE


A "new" element no less important is the fluorescence of the diamond, this too refers to a scale with different variations of gradations, divided into the color of the fluorescence and the gravity of the same. When the diamond is exposed to UV ultraviolet light they emit a light called fluorescence invisible to the naked eye. A severe fluorescence can confuse the color of a diamond, in our shop we only treat diamonds without fluorescence.
