admin — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:52:51 +0000

Diamonds are expensive because of the demand for them. Because the supply of quality diamonds, in terms of Carat, Clarity, Colour and Cut, cannot be matched by the demand for them. It is also a very labour intensive process to mine diamonds and to cut and polish diamonds for retail sale. At The Studio Jeweller we create beautiful diamond pieces and only use genuine diamonds.

These four categories are how we determine the value of a diamond. Clarity is the degree to which a diamond is free of blemishes and inclusions. Cut is the human touch to a diamond’s beauty and is one of the most important of the 4 C’s. When people talk about the overall size of a diamond, they’re talking about carats and the colour of the diamond is just the physical colour which is determined by examining it face up and then face down.
