The jewelry market is very competitive, like so many others. But it has a specificity, which many customers fear: it is a world of insiders, and it takes a real expertise to distinguish the wheat from the chaff. You can't improvise yourself as a jeweler, and even some very enlightened amateurs, and most of the time passionate about stones, are not always able to distinguish between certain copies. If you want to avoid unpleasant surprises, you have to choose the right strategy. The best and safest strategy is to have a unique piece made for you, that is to say custom made and therefore identifiable among all! But before that, you need to understand the world of diamonds.

You must seek the most perfect balance and take into account the four qualities that will be decisive in your search. It is this global approach that is the key to achieving excellence. Your budget will inevitably make you make choices, which will allow you to progress step by step in the right direction. It's a bit like making choices in life, at first you eliminate the false leads, then you choose! Never forget that this is a purchase where emotion is present from the beginning to the end of the stone selection process, and that you have to look for a model that corresponds to you completely. It is anything but simple, and questions will naturally mark out all this process, and sometimes make you hesitate. Rest assured, this is the most common case. Keep in mind your four criteria.

• Carat : This is what determines the weight of the diamond, which in turn defines the price of the stone. Classified by category, diamonds can reach extraordinary prices. The heavier the diamond, the higher its price. But the carat is also linked to the volume of the stone, the combination of these two factors, weight and volume being what will most influence the final price.
• Color : here, it is your personal taste that is the only criterion to take into account. There are white diamonds with several shades. We are talking about the perfect colorless which is graded D, and we end up with pieces tinged with yellow which receive a Z grade. There are also blue, yellow, pink diamonds... The choice is virtually infinite.
• Clarity : or purity, which has five levels of gradation, all categorized. It is the mixture between color and purity that will allow you to get closer to your goal. The crossings of categories will gradually allow you to see more clearly. You have already pruned the online catalog when you are at this stage.
• The cut : which means the quality of the size you will choose. This is the crucial moment! A diamond is made to shine brightly, that's what's so wonderful about this stone. There is something magical about the sparkle that is so brilliant that it stands on its own! Make no mistake and choose the best grades. Our three partner labs allow you to select the best. Only those grades that have been awarded the very good and excellent labels are able to provide an exceptional cut. We recommend them without any hesitation.
