Cut
Cut quality and proportions influence brilliance, fire and scintillation. Compare the report and a stone in neutral lighting.

The four Cs, beautifully explained
Cut describes how a diamond interacts with light. Color grades describe body color; clarity grades describe inclusions and blemishes; carat measures weight. Consider all four together.
Carat on a size-6 hand
Illustrative relative scale only. Carat is weight; spread varies with shape and cut. Screen size cannot show calibrated physical dimensions.
Color
D is the top of the D–Z color scale for colorless to light yellow or brown diamonds. Fancy colors use a different system.
Clarity
Clarity is assessed under magnification. An inclusion’s location can matter as much as the grade.
Carat
One carat is 0.2 grams. Equal-weight stones can look different in size because of their proportions.
Questions for your advisor
Can I return a piece?
Eligible unworn pieces may be returned within 30 days of delivery with their packaging and certificates. Engraved or personalized pieces are final sale unless faulty. Contact an advisor for a prepaid insured return label. Refunds follow inspection within 10 business days.
What does the warranty cover?
The proposed lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects. Normal wear, accidental damage, loss and third-party alterations are excluded. An advisor reviews a piece before confirming repair options and any charges.
Can my ring be resized?
Eligible resizable rings include one complimentary resize during the first year. Eternity designs and some settings cannot be resized. Confirm the available range with an advisor before ordering.
Are diamonds independently graded?
Sample diamond records list GIA or IGI grading fields. All report numbers are examples, not real certificates. An advisor must provide the actual report and appraisal for a real purchase.
Is my appointment confirmed immediately?
No. Select two preferred time windows. An advisor will confirm a time within 1 business day. Calendar entries are tentative reminders, not confirmed bookings.
Do you accept payments online?
No payment is collected in this version. Reserve a selection with an advisor for a final stock, tax and delivery check. Financing is not connected.
