Frequently Asked Questions
How do I decide which is the best diamond for me?
Every diamond possesses its unique charm, making the process of selecting one a truly personal and intimate experience. Diamonds are a rare treasure that defy easy online shopping; their brilliance and allure must be seen to be believed. To fully appreciate the enchantment of your diamond, we wholeheartedly recommend scheduling an appointment for an in-person viewing.
Which of the four C’s is the most important?
Each diamond possesses a set of defining attributes often referred to as the 4Cs: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. While these factors provide valuable insights, a diamond's genuine quality transcends mere categorization and encompasses the delicate interplay of all four "Cs," along with considerations like weight-to-width ratio, fluorescence, and the nature of inclusions.
Will I get a certificate with my purchase?
Every one of our diamonds undergoes an independent certification process by one of the world's top-tier diamond grading laboratories: GIA, IGI, or HRD, unless explicitly mentioned otherwise. We strongly advise seeking certified diamonds for your peace of mind and assurance in the quality of your investment.
