Diamond Clarity:
No two diamonds are alike. A
diamond's most distinguishing characteristics are its inclusions, marks that
are often invisible to the naked eye. However, under a jeweler's magnifying
loupe or microscope they can look like crystals, tiny rivers, or clouds. A
diamond's clarity is determined by the presence or absence of inclusions--fewer
inclusions mean better clarity--and how visible they are. The greater a
diamond's clarity, the greater its brilliance and value. A diamond categorized
as internally flawless will have no inclusions, but this is extremely rare.
Diamond Color:
Though diamonds come in a
wide range of colors, colorless diamonds have traditionally been considered the
most valuable. Most diamonds are graded on a scale using the letters of the
alphabet, from D (colorless), the best grade, through Z (a light yellow). It is
difficult for the untrained eye to notice such variations in color unless
stones are being compared side by side.
Diamond Carat Weight:
A diamond's weight is
measured in carats, with one carat being equivalent to 100 points. You will
often see a diamond referred to as a 3/4-carat stone or a 75-point diamond.
Larger stones are often more highly valued, but size should not be the only
consideration--high brilliance, which varies according to clarity, cut, and
color grade, is highly desirable in a diamond.
Diamond Certification:
A diamond certificate
represents independent verification that the stone purchased has all the
qualities of cut, color, clarity, shape, and weight expected. It is a further
indication of the condition and value of that diamond as represented on our
site. Such certificates are issued by several agencies employing highly trained
gemologists and provide an unbiased and accurate evaluation of the diamond.
These gemologists scrutinize each stone to analyze its dimensions, clarity,
cut, color, finish, symmetry, and other details.
Diamonds purchased from the
Amazon.com Collection may be certified by the Gemological Institute of America
or the International Gemological Institute. The type of certificate provided
will be noted in the product specifications of your jewelry purchase; if you do
not see a certificate type noted, one will not be provided.
Our Diamond Policy:
Amazon.com sources
high-quality diamonds from some of the world's largest suppliers. All our
diamond suppliers certify that to their best knowledge their diamonds are not
conflict diamonds.
Diamond Care:
Diamonds, as the hardest
substance on earth, are resistant to damage. However, diamond jewelry is set in
different metals, and care will vary from piece to piece. Diamonds should be cleaned
in a solution of one part ammonia to six parts water, using a gentle scrubbing
brush to remove any dirt. It is a good idea to have them cleaned once a year by
a professional jeweler, at which time the security of the setting can be
checked as well. Diamond jewelry should be stored in a soft cloth pouch to
ensure that the stone will not scratch other jewelry.
Sterling Silver History
Experts believe that silver
alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in continental Europe in the
12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable
material. When combined with other metals, most commonly cooper, it produced a
tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next few
centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and for household items. It was
often used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting
between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this
popularity, silver companies began to grow. During this craze, companies began
to experiment using sterling silver compositions in jewelry, as it was a
material that was easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look
with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of
jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the
benefit of affordable pricing.
Sterling Silver Composition
While pure silver can be
combined with many different types of metals, sterling silver is created when
combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with
different amounts of copper but is most often seen with the .925 stamp, meaning
that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This has
been found to be a good combination for maintaining the silver's durability
without harming its sparkle.
Caring for Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver should not come into
contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To
avoid scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone
to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air.
Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly will prevent this and help
maintain its shine. Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle
polish made specifically for removing tarnish.
