How to care for a diamond?
Diamonds are usually set in open structures so that light can pass through them, for this reason, dust and dirt can accumulate. We recommend that you do a periodic cleaning in any of our boutiques so that the stone shows all its shine.

What does the price of a diamond depend on?
To measure the quality of a diamond, several characteristics must be taken into account. The best known that determine the price of each stone are the 4Cs: Weight (carat), Color (color), Purity (clarity) and Cut (cut).
- The weight, measured in carats, is the first thing that determines the price of the diamond. The higher the carat, in most cases, the higher its value.
- Color is measured with the letters of the alphabet, from D (the best color) to Z. The closer it is to D, the whiter and colorless it will be, so its value will increase.
- Purity is measured based on its inclusions, taking into account their color, location and size. The fewer impurities, the greater the value of the piece.
- The cut of the diamond influences how it reflects light. The quality of the cut, symmetry and polishing are also determining characteristics.
