Storing your diamond and precious stone rings
We recommend that all diamond and
precious stone rings are stored individually in there boxes or
soft cloth pouches when not being worn to prevent the diamond or
diamonds from scratching or dulling other jewellery
|
|
How to keep
your rings sparkling
Gold is tarnish-resistant, but it can get dirty. Diamonds and
precious stones dull over a period of time with soaps and even
natural skin oils that we use regularly can cover your jewellery
and cut down their brilliance. Commercial jewellery cleaners are
available to clean your jewellery, most often water and a mild
detergent is sufficient to restore the brilliance, a soft tooth
brush helps to gently clean intricate designs and stones, dry
and polish your gold jewellery with a soft cloth after cleaning.

|
Peace of mind
We keep a
Photographic library of all the rings if ever needed for
identification, for lost or stolen insurance claims. This has
proven to be the single, most important thing you can do, to
recover your valuables.

Diamonds
The weight
of a diamond is measured in carats. A carat is divided in 100
points so that a diamond of 50 points equals 1/2 a carat. A
round brilliant cut diamond of 1 carat has an approximate
diameter of 6.6mm.The word carat originates from the Greek word
keration, referring to the shape of the seedpods of the carob
tree. The seeds are small and uniform in size and weight;
therefore, they were a standard for weighing gemstones in early
times.

Sapphires
The most common colour is Blue, but can be colourless, pink,
orange, yellow, green, purple, and black. Burmese sapphires have
a deep blue that is intense and velvety. These sapphires are not
often seen on the market today. Sri Lankan sapphires are the
most common, with a wide range of colours from very light to
dark blue. Other producers of blue sapphire are Australia,
Madagascar Thailand Cambodia, and Montana.

Emerald
The
Stone of Peace
Fine emeralds are even more
valuable than diamonds.
Emeralds are fascinating gemstones.
Colombian emeralds are among the world's most beautiful.
They have the most wonderful, most intense
and most radiant green.
Quality emeralds are also found in India, South Africa,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, and Zimbabwe.
Inclusions are tolerated. In top quality
jewelry. The name emerald comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via
the Old French 'esmeralde', and really just means 'green
gemstone'. |
