Handmade Diamond Jewellery Discover a Piece as Unique as You

Diamonds are one of the oldest minerals in the world and are made of pure carbon. They are also the most coveted of all precious stones due to their beauty, worth and longevity. 

Diamonds form naturally below the earth’s surface but can also be made synthetically in laboratories. The chemical and physical properties of both natural and lab-grown diamonds are identical. It depends on your preference.

But not every diamond is the same, and a few distinguishing features make some diamonds shine a little more than others.

The Best Quality Diamond Rings

1. Cut - Commonly thought of as the shape of the diamond, cut refers to the way the diamond has been cut from its rough form. This is what gives a diamond its sparkle, and pleasing proportions make all the difference to a diamond’s appearance. 
2. Shape - This is what shape the diamond looks like as jewellery. There are many styles to choose from for many tastes, including the popular round shape to a pear or Asscher cut. 
3. Carat - The carat refers to the diamond’s weight, which helps determine the price of a diamond. 
4. Clarity - All-natural diamonds have small impurities known as inclusions that impact the diamond’s appearance and value.
5. Colour - The more nitrogen in a diamond, the more yellow its colour. Colourless or white diamonds are widely considered the most desirable and, therefore, more expensive.
