Understanding the 4Cs — Your Diamond Essentials
Before you choose the perfect pair, it helps to understand what makes each diamond unique.
Cut — The Sparkle Factor
A diamond’s cut determines how it catches the light. For studs, round brilliant and princess cuts offer maximum sparkle from every angle.
Color — The Subtle Shades
Near-colorless diamonds (G–H range) deliver dazzling beauty without an overly icy hue ideal for everyday elegance.
Clarity — Purity in Every Sparkle
Clarity refers to tiny natural inclusions. Grades like VS2–SI1 look flawless to the naked eye while keeping value in check.
Carat — Finding the Right Size
Everyday wear: 0.25–0.50 ct per ear
Classic statement: 1.00 ct per ear or more
Gift Tip: Match carat size to her style dainty studs for subtle shine, larger stones for high glamour.
Choosing the Right Setting
Each setting tells its own story and affects comfort and sparkle.
Four-Prong: Classic brilliance that lets light in from all sides.
Bezel: Sleek, modern, and secure perfect for active wearers.
Halo: Surrounds the center diamond for extra brilliance.
Martini or Basket: Minimalist elegance that sits close to the ear.
Insider Tip: White gold or platinum enhances sparkle; yellow gold adds warmth and vintage charm.
