A carat is the unit of measure used to determine the weight of a diamond. The term "carat" is derived from the original method of using carob tree seeds to weigh diamonds. One seed from this tree was equivalent to one carat.

The actual weight of one carat is now established at 0.2 grams. To assist in accurately describing the weight of diamonds each carat is divided into 100 points. Diamonds of less than one carat in weight are known as "pointers". For example, a 0.15 carat diamond would be called a "15 pointer".

The shape of a marquise diamond can maximize carat weight, giving you a much larger-looking diamond. This brilliant-cut diamond looks beautiful set with round or pear-shaped side stones, and the length of the marquise makes fingers appear long and slender. To find the dimension of marquise you want, look for the length-to-width ratio in our interactive diamond search and on each diamond's detail page. The length-to-width ratio will determine the diamond's outline, or what it will look like when viewed from the top.

For the most traditional marquise-cut diamonds, look for length-to-width ratios between 1.75 and 2.25

Every diamond purchased loose (meaning, a diamond not set in a ring) is shipped in a specially designed inner box, which allows you to view your diamond while keeping it secure. The diamond may be kept in the presentation ready box until you deliver it to a local jeweler to have it set in a ring.

A diamond in its natural, uncut state is described as a "rough diamond". Its natural appearance so resembles a glass pebble that most people would pass it by without a second glance. It is the skill of the diamond cutter that unlocks the brilliance for which diamonds are renowned.

Though a technical description of the heart-shaped diamond is anything but sentimental, (the heart shaped diamond is essentially a pear-shaped diamond with a cleft at the top), the diamond itself is considered by some to be the most romantic of all diamond cuts.
The heart shaped diamond can be quite fiery with excellent sparkle.

The pear shaped diamond is also called the "teardrop diamond" because of its shape. The pear shaped diamond is a combination cut of the round-brilliant and the marquise.
The Pear Shaped Diamond is a fiery cut with lots of wonderful sparkle and flash. The elegant lines of the Pear Shaped Diamond lends a sophisticated air to both the simplest and most elaborate ring settings.

Natural Pink diamonds are different from other fancy colors. After their formation, these stones are subjected to very high temperature and non isotropic stress which deforms the crystal lattice and displaces some of the carbon atoms from their regular positions. It is accepted today that these structural defects are the cause of a diamonds pink hue.

Diamond is the hardest known natural material on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, where hardness is defined as resistance to scratching and is graded between 1 (softest) and 10 (hardest). Diamond has a hardness of 10 (hardest) on this scale. Diamond's hardness has been known since antiquity, and is the source of its name.
