Diamonds are for ever
 |
It is actually amazing that the hardest naturally occurring substance on Earth is also one of the most beautiful. It is also extremely versatile and is used in a variety of industrial processes. Diamonds are classified according to their cut, colour and clarity. The best diamonds have the ideal cut to properly reflect as much light as possible, hence their sparkle, no colour, and no inclusions. The code for the very best diamonds is FL (flawless), D (colourless). |
The price of diamonds is partly due to their rarity but also their longevity, it is extremely difficult to damage a diamond ! Our advice is always to go for the very best quality stones, sacrificing size if necessary. A smaller high quality stone will sparkle so much more than a larger less perfect stone, and actually seem bigger...!
