The Four Cs of Diamonds

Understanding the Four Cs helps you choose the perfect diamond:

1. Cut: Determines brilliance; high-quality cuts maximize sparkle.

2. Carat: The gemstone’s weight; 1 carat = 200 mg.

3. Colour: Ranges from colourless to shades like yellow, pink, and blue.

4. Clarity: Measures imperfections within the stone.

Affordable Diamond Options

Diamonds don’t have to break the bank. Consider:

• Silver jewellery with small diamonds – affordable and elegant.

• White topaz or cubic zirconia – mimic diamond sparkle without the cost.

• Moissanite – close in brilliance to diamonds at a fraction of the price.

Examples from our collection:

• Hot Diamonds White Topaz Silver Pendant

Caring for Diamond Jewellery

• Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap.
