And that's not nearly as difficult as it may seem. Because, just as your love for each other is unique, no two diamonds are alike. Each has its own personality and sparkle. Now that you have read this far you need to contact Mike Clarke, G.G. and make an appointment to learn about this most important decision. THE FOUR Cs.
All diamonds are rare, but some are more rare than others - and therefore more valuable.
The way a diamond is cut and polished is vital. It is the precision and delicacy of the cut that dictates the maximum amount of light the diamond will refract and reflect. The better it has been cut, the greater will be its brilliance, sparkle and fire. When a diamond is cut to good proportions, light is internally reflected from one facet to another and then dispersed through the crown, or top, of the diamond. If the cut is too deep, then some light will escape through the opposite side of the pavilion, or bottom of the diamond.
