The use of a ring as a symbol of matrimony is deeply established in most western cultures, and its circular shape, one with no beginning and no end, embodies the eternity of marriage. Even its position on the left hand arises from the belief the vein of the ring finger travels directly to the heart, honouring the concept of endless love.

\nTHE FOUR Cs COLOUR When it comes to colour, less is more. The whiter the diamonds the better, and chances are all diamonds you see and will be able to afford will range from white to yellow. Determined through a range of alphabets, D, E and F refer to colourless (white) diamonds while G,H, I and J are nearly colourless. CUT The cut refers to the workmanship of a diamond and the manner in which it has been polished and shaped to give it its brilliance and fire. Not to be confused with a diamond\u2019s shape, a stone\u2019s cut (or make) refers to the number, placement, and shape of the facets that create a finished diamond. The light performance of a diamond is solely defined by its cut, and is the most important contributor to the beauty and sparkle of a diamond.
\nCLARITY Clarity is the measure of the number of blemishes (external defects) and inclusions (internal defects) of a stone. An SI1 or SI2 (SI= slight inclusions) diamond has inclusions or blemishes larger than a grain of salt when viewed under 10x magnification. CARAT The final C refers to the carat of a diamond, a unit of weight (not to be confused with karat, which indicates gold\u2019s purity). A carat is equivalent to a fifth of a gram, or exactly 200 milligrams. The larger the diamond, the more valuable it becomes, since larger diamonds are both rarer and more desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
