Chances are you already know a lot about diamonds. Diamonds are generally evaluated by assessing the 4 C’s: Clarity, Color, Cut, and Carat Weight.
Clarity
Clarity describes the purity of a diamond. This is determined by the number, size, nature, and location of the internal inclusions and external imperfections. The highest purity rating attainable is IF (internally flawless). All of our stones are IF rated.
Color
Color describes the amount of color a diamond contains. The color scale ranges from absolutely colorless (D color) which is the most preferred, all the way down to colors that can be quite gray and muddy looking. In addition to white stones, diamonds can come in some pretty intense colors called “fancy colors” which may be yellow, red, pink, blue, and even green. But when most people think of a diamond, they are thinking of the traditional white diamond.
Cut
Cut speaks to the way a diamond’s proportions are created. It is really quite mathematical. A perfectly cut diamond will yield the most fire and brilliance. In the jewelry industry, there is an ideal cut formula which was first developed by Marcel Tolkowsky, a Belgian diamond cutter and engineer who in 1919 developed this optimal cut to bring out the most fire in a diamond.
Carat
Carat is the unit of weight for a diamond. In nature, large diamonds are much rarer than small ones, so they will come with a much higher price tag. A three carat stone may be priced as high as twenty times the price of a one carat stone. Diamond Nexus gemstones are not subject to this issue of size scarcity: all of our stones carry the same per-carat price.
Custom Design
A custom design is an original, it compliments the wearer’s unique and personal style.
Handcrafted”, “handmade” and “custom made” jewelry is often a term used to promote sales of jewelry which is actually manufactured in large runs and thousands of identical pieces are sold. That is not what you get from L’unique Jewelry.
Creating these unique designs starts with a customer’s ideas, their choice of metal and gemstone(s), their preference for a design style and their desire to have an original piece of wearable art. If you would like to own a totally unique jewelry piece for yourself or a special love one, let us show you why L’unique Jewelry is an excellent choice. Our unique design process makes your the design and purchase an enjoyable experience.
