| Diamonds are accurately weighed
when they are loose, or free from any
mounting. Our diamonds are weighed
loose on a calibrated scale.
As diamonds increase in value, their
prices per carat usually increase
geometrically, not arithmetically. Thus,
a two-carat diamond of the same quality
will be more than double the price of a
one-carat diamond.
ALWAYS IN STYLE
While the diamond's incomparable beauty has made it
the symbol of undying love, it is the stone's shimmering
brilliance that has made it the most prized of all gems.
To achieve this dazzling radiance, a diamond must
be carefully cut to maximize its clarity and enhance
its many facets. A skillful jeweler will let the stone's
natural shape determine the style of the cut, enhancing
the stone's innate beauty.
Traditionally, a diamond is cut into one of six
variations: Round Brilliant-cut, Marquise, Emeraldcut,
Pear-shaped, Oval and Heart-shaped. Today,
however, many jewelers are experimenting with
exciting new styles. Whether you choose a traditional
or contemporary shape it is purely a matter of your
own personal taste. There is no one style that is more
appropriate than the other.
After cutting, a setting is selected. We offer a wide
range of elegant, attractive settings designed to show
off your diamond to the best advantage. As a rule of
thumb, the simpler the setting the more the diamond
is highlighted. Placing an exceptional diamond in an
elaborate setting only detracts from its natural beauty.

style and beauty of diamonds for yourself. |
