Diamond guide
Cut
At the heart of our diamond selection lies the art of cut and shape. We're most interested in how each stone is cut to reveal its interaction with light.From classic round brilliant to elegant oval, dramatic marquise and perfect elongated cushions, we source any preferred stone.Carat
In ancient times, diamond traders compared a stone's weight to the seeds of the Carob tree. These seeds gave us the word 'carat', now the standard unit of a diamond's weight. A diamond's value depends on more than just its weight, and certain cuts make a diamond appear larger or smaller than its carat weight.Clarity
Formed under intense pressure deep within the earth, diamonds develop natural inclusions that define their clarity. Graded from flawless to included, each stone reflects its own unique formation—truly pure diamonds are exceptionally rare.Color
Diamond color is graded on a scale from D to Z, with D representing the most colorless stones. These top-tier diamonds are exceptionally rare and highly prized. Antique stones we work with often carry a warmer tone.
