How to choose your diamond?
Sélectionner un diamant peut s’avérer compliqué lorsqu’on ne connaît pas les critères importants à prendre en compte. Afin de vous aider à sélectionner le diamant idéal pour votre future création, nous vous conseillons de vous intéresser aux “4C”, qui sont :
THE 4 C’S
CARAT
The carat is the international unit of measurement for diamonds; 1 carat corresponds to 0.32 grams. The weight of a diamond is one of the main factors to consider as its price increases with its weight.
COLOUR
La couleur du diamant est déterminée par l’œil expert de l’humain, par rapport à des étalons comparés dans des conditions bien particulières en laboratoire . Il va du D (le plus blanc) jusqu’au Z (le plus teinté).
CLARITY
A diamond's clarity is determined by the nature, location and number of inclusions present in the stone. These inclusions are either tiny crystals (white) or carbon (black), the main chemical element of diamonds.
CUT
The ideal diamond cut aims to optimize the refraction of light in its facets to obtain optimum brilliance. It is graded upon 3 criterias (cut, polish and symmetry) ranging from Poor to Excellent.

OUR DIAMONDS
Our diamonds are carefully selected by Valérie Danenberg, our expert gemologist in minimum G color and SI clarity, hence extra white with small inclusions invisible to the naked eye. They are all certified by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), the best laboratory in the world, laser-engraved on the girdle with their individual certificate number. All are sourced directly from the international diamond stock exchange and purchased without intermediaries. Prices are subject to the availability and fluctuations of diamond prices. In addition, they are certified by the Kimberley Process: ethically mined and do not contribute to conflicts around the world.
CHAMPAGNE DIAMONDS : AN ALTERNATIVE TO WHITE DIAMONDS
Champagne diamonds come in subtle shades of warm colors with more discreet reflections than white diamonds. They blend in perfectly with pink gold creating a dazzling tone-on-tone effect.
These diamonds are selected by Valérie in particular for their beautiful "pink champagne" color in VS (very small inclusions) clarity, but do not come with a laboratory certificate as champagne diamonds are not graded according to the "4Cs" like white diamonds.
