Choose your diamond ring according to the 4C criteria: carat (weight), clarity (purity), cut (size), color (color)

 

You can choose with the diamond method. It follows four criteria of classification

Carat

The carat is the weight of the diamond. 1 carat is equivalent to 0.200 grams. If you choose a 1 carat diamond, your stone will be more or less 6.4mm in diameter, while a 0.50 carat diamond will be more or less 5.1mm in diameter. The more the stone weighs in carat, the bigger the diamond and the higher its price. The online catalog on our website allows you to easily get an idea of the price of the diamond in your solitaire ring. Often the price of the diamond you want to achieve makes it easier to choose the size of the stone. The type of setting you want can also vary the size of the stone you need. A claw set solitaire ring requires a larger volume diamond than a solitaire with a closed setting. The closed setting gives more volume in gold. And the stone can therefore be smaller.

 

Cut

The "cut" is the cut of the diamond, which strongly impacts the brilliance, the brightness and the fire of the stone. The diamond cutter distinguishes between six different shapes of cut. The brightest and most common is the round brilliant cut, which gives the diamond a lot of sparkle. It is the most classic and timeless. The cushion cut is currently in high demand and is gaining ground in online requests. Other shapes are the pear diamond, the emerald diamond, the princess diamond, the heart diamond... There is something for everyone. The diamond also expresses your personality. The quality of the cut is rated from Fair to Excellent by the three most prestigious gemmological laboratories: HRD, IGI, GIA. Excellent grades guarantee the most brilliance. We recommend that you choose diamonds with a cut quality grade of at least Very Good, and if possible Excellent.

Colour

The color indicates how white the stone is. The whiter and brighter the stone, the higher the price. At this level, a letter indicates the best quality: D for Diamond. The more yellow the diamond is tinted, the closer to the letter Z. With gold, you can choose to cut or play the beautiful unity between diamond and gold. Depending on your budget and your requirements, you will choose the degree of white of the diamond for your solitaire.

Clarity

Clarity" specifies the degree of purity of the diamond. If you opt for the quality often called Collection by diamond dealers, ask for IF-VVS clarity or extreme D IF simply the best, which we call on our site the Perfection offer. Only IF quality guarantees that no inclusions are visible under a 10x magnifying glass or even a microscope. The most common quality in the trade is SI. And VS is the usual quality in fine jewelry stores. IF-VVS remains the ultimate in fine jewelry.

 

Finally, it is important to verify that the diamond for your solitaire ring is natural, which is specified on the certificates issued by gemological laboratories such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). This independent gemological laboratory is the most reputable in the world. Each diamond is laser engraved to ensure optimal transparency.

The origin of the diamond is important: it is best to choose a diamond that comes from a conflict-free area of the world and meets the criteria of the Kimberley Process.

  Yellow, pink and white gold

What type of metal to choose? White, yellow or pink gold?

The type of metal depends on your budget, your lifestyle and your desire for modernity or classicism for your solitaire diamond ring. White gold is the most contemporary and in high demand today. It brings sparkle thanks to its white color like the diamond. But yellow gold also brings out the light of the diamond. It is more classic. Rose gold is obtained by adding copper to pure gold. It brings perhaps a touch of softness and is very fashionable today. Finally, it all depends on the skin tone of the person who is going to wear the solitaire diamond ring and their personal preference for this or that color of gold.

The gemstone will look even better on your finger if it matches your style. Dare to change from the ordinary with a beautiful, finely cut stone such as a diamond combined with gold!

The meaning of the term "solitaire": a single gemstone set in a ring, the ideal jewel for an engagement

A single gemstone set in a ring is the supreme expression of the choice made, a unique choice. The solitaire evokes the idea of the absolute, of the man or woman facing his or her destiny and controlling his or her future. For the diamond dealer, everything is secret, everything is a symbol. This profession is unique. The brilliance of a diamond is so dense and so exceptional that it is difficult to imitate. By looking at it, you perceive all the colors. Gold consolidates this love.

Since this alliance, the engagement ring remains the absolute emblem of love. With the decline in marriages, the solitaire is still very much in demand. It symbolizes commitment, even without marriage. The solitaire diamond ring still has a bright future ahead of it. Once delivered, you will appreciate the brilliance of your solitaire for two. Your friends will be our best prescribers by congratulating you for your choice. This choice will be transmitted from generation to generation.

Offer a 0.5 or 1 carat diamond solitaire, the symbol of an eternal commitment to his future wife
