Understanding the Diamond 4 C's

Not sure where to start? Our GIA-affiliated team walks every customer through the four grading criteria that determine a diamond's quality and price:

• Cut  The most important factor. Determines brilliance. Always choose Excellent or Very Good.
• Colour  Graded D (colourless) to Z (yellow). D–H for white gold/platinum; H–J excellent in yellow or rose gold.
• Clarity  Rates inclusions. VS2 or SI1 offers outstanding value  flaws invisible to the naked eye.
• Carat  Diamond weight. A well-cut 0.90ct looks larger than a poorly-cut 1.00ct. Choose carat last.

Wholesale Prices No Retail Markup

Most jewellery retailers buy diamonds from a wholesaler, mark them up, and sell them in a showroom. We are the wholesaler. Our Melbourne and Hong Kong offices allow us to source directly from diamond suppliers, which means you pay 30–50% less than comparable high-street rings. A ring priced at $10,000 elsewhere will often come in well under $6,000 with us.
