Understanding the 4 Cs
The 4 Cs – Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat – are the universal language of diamond quality. At GOODSTONE, we see them as the cornerstones of understanding what makes each diamond unique. They guide you in selecting a diamond that aligns with both your aesthetic preferences and budget. By mastering these four attributes, you become equipped to choose a diamond that truly resonates with your personal love story.
Cutting to the Chase: Cut
The cut of a diamond is all about its craftsmanship and sparkle. It's the art of transforming rough diamonds into dazzling gems, with each facet and angle meticulously crafted to maximize brilliance. Remember, the cut is key to a diamond's luminous beauty, making it a crucial aspect of your selection & trickiest to execute.
Color: The Hue of True Love
In the world of diamonds, color actually refers to the absence of color. Graded on the GIA scale from 'colorless' to 'near-colorless' (D to J), the less color a diamond has, the rarer it becomes. At GOODSTONE, we offer diamonds that embody this purity, each carefully chosen to ensure timeless elegance.
Clarity: A Clear Choice
Clarity is the window into a diamond's unique story, revealing natural inclusions formed over millennia. These tiny, natural marks are like fingerprints, making each diamond distinct. GOODSTONE values this uniqueness, offering diamonds that blend rarity with visible perfection. "Flawless to the naked eye" is our standard.
Carat: Size and Sophistication
Carat weight is more than just size; it's about the presence a diamond brings to your ring. Different shapes distribute carat weight uniquely, affecting their visual size. GOODSTONE helps you navigate these nuances to find a diamond that not only fits your ring but also your personal style and vision.
Lab-Created Brilliance vs. Natural Splendor
At GOODSTONE, we offer both lab created and natural diamonds, each with its own unique charm. Lab grown diamonds share the same chemical, optical, and physical properties as natural diamonds, making them indistinguishable without specialized equipment. The key difference lies in their origins: lab diamonds are carefully grown in controlled environments, while natural diamonds have been formed in the Earth over billions of years.
"Choosing between lab-created and natural diamonds is like comparing roses from a backyard greenhouse to those grown in your front yard's bushes. In the end, when you present a bouquet, its beauty and impact are undeniable, regardless of where the roses were grown. It's the sentiment that truly counts."
-Blake, Founder & Creative Director
Choosing What's Right for You
Opting for a lab diamond can be a savvy choice for those looking to maximize their budget without compromising on beauty. They offer the same sparkle and durability as natural diamonds but at a more accessible price point. At GOODSTONE, we celebrate both choices, understanding that whether lab-created or naturally formed, each diamond has a story to tell and a beauty to unveil.
