The Diamond Cutting Process…
The process of finishing a diamond, from a rough diamond into a polished gemstone, is both an art and a science.

• Cleaving separates a rough diamond into separate pieces to be finished.
• Bruting grinds two diamonds into round shapes with spinning axles.
• Polishing the diamond’s facets is the final step before the final inspection.
• Final inspection cleans the diamond in acids and examines the quality

The price for an engagement ring or wedding rings can vary considerably depending on the materials used and the value of the diamond. Carats measure the weight of a diamond, and the point unit is used for diamonds of less than one carat. The price will increase significantly on diamonds weighing over 0.99 carats. Clarity measures the number of internal defects, called inclusions, in a diamond. Inclusions may be crystals or imperfections such as tiny cracks. The number, size, color, relative location, orientation, and visibility of inclusions can all affect the clarity of a diamond. Only about 20 percent of all diamonds mined have a clarity rating high enough for use as a gemstone. Diamonds are graded on a scale ranging from flawless to imperfect.

Gold and Platinum…
Gold is a precious metal that occurs in rocks, underground in alluvial deposits. It is dense, soft, shiny and yellow with good resistance to oxidative corrosion.
Platinum is more precious than gold and is wear- and tarnish-resistance. The price of platinum is slightly less than twice the price of gold.

Rare Gemstones…
• Rubies are exceptionally rare and can vary from a light pink to a blood red.
• Emeralds are the most valuable and can vary from green and bluish green.
• Sapphires can be found in large crystal boules, in a wide variety of colors.
