The four "C's" of Diamonds are very important. CUT, COLOR, CLARITY and CARAT. The better these four characteristics the more valuable the Diamond. But the most important "C" is CONFIDENCE in your jeweler. Make sure the person you are dealing with is educated in this field. Go to a reputable Gemologist. We will teach you not only about the four "C's", we will show you Diamonds that are loose, let you look at them in a microscope instead of looking at them with a loupe. A loupe takes a trained eye to see flaws, where a microscope has a light and helps you see the Diamond clearer.

You always want to make sure you are getting the quality that you pay for and with our diamond lessons you will become more informed of what you are buying and you will definitely get what you are paying for.

REMEMBER...

1. Exercise caution and remember there is usually no such thing as a bargain with diamonds.

2. Finally, remember as a rule, you only get what you pay for or less.

Give us a call, make an appointment for your Diamond lesson and come by Hilton Village.
