Buying a diamond can be an overwhelming experience. Our goal at Christopher Duquet Fine Jewelry is to provide the right combination of consultation with information to make the process more straightforward.
Diamond characteristics are graded and categorized into four Cs by the diamond industry. It's important to look for the following when considering an important gemstone purchase.

Cut: The brilliance of a diamond depends heavily on its cut. There are several types of diamond cuts, including: brilliant/round, emerald or princess, pear, heart and more.

Clarity: Every diamond typically has some inner flaws or inclusions that occur during the formation process. The visibility, number and size of the inclusions determine the clarity of the diamond. Diamonds that are clear have mroe brilliance and are more highly sought after.
