Despite the immense popularity of diamonds, coloured gemstones have always been among the most popular and expressive forms of jewellery. Only three coloured gemstones are considered precious.
The precious metals we use in our jewellery are gold, silver, platinum and palladium and each one has the ability to complement a diamond or gemstone in different ways.
To help diamond customers know exactly what they were about to purchase, a grading system, set up by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), was implemented to evaluate diamonds based on four aspects.
A diamond certificate, also known as a diamond report, is issued by an accredited independent gemological laboratory where diamonds have undergone the strictest quality assessment.
Technically, a cut refers to how well a diamond's facets are proportioned and finished which can affect the radiance, while the shape of a diamond refers to the geometrical outline of the stone like a heart shape.
