The Four C's of Diamonds:

When it comes to diamonds, the four C's - carat, cut, color, and clarity - are essential in determining their quality and value. Carat refers to the weight of the diamond, while cut determines its shape and brilliance. Color grading categorizes diamonds on a scale from colorless to light yellow or brown, and clarity evaluates the presence of flaws. Understanding these factors helps you make an informed decision when selecting your perfect diamond.

What are Earth Grown Diamonds?

Earth grown diamonds are natural gems formed deep within the earth's crust over millions of years. They possess a captivating allure, and their uniqueness is rooted in nature's masterpiece. At San Jose Jewelers, we prioritize ethical sourcing and partner with trusted suppliers who provide earth grown diamonds obtained through responsible and sustainable practices.

What are Lab Grown Diamonds?

Lab grown diamonds, created using advanced technology in controlled laboratory environments, offer an exciting alternative. They possess the same physical and chemical properties as earth grown diamonds, while being eco-friendly and more affordable. We take pride in offering a diverse range of options, including both earth grown and lab grown diamonds, allowing you to choose the perfect gem that aligns with your preferences and values.

How to Determine if Diamonds Are Real?

Identifying genuine diamonds is crucial when making a purchase. Several techniques can help you determine if a diamond is real, such as using a magnifying loupe to examine its characteristics, checking for clarity and brilliance, and conducting simple tests. Familiarizing yourself with these methods ensures you can confidently distinguish between authentic diamonds and imitations.

The Symbolic Meaning of a Diamond:

Diamonds hold profound symbolic meaning, often associated with love, commitment, strength, and endurance. This enduring gemstone is frequently chosen as the centerpiece for engagement rings and wedding rings, representing eternal love and a lifelong bond. At San Jose Jewelers, we understand the significance behind each diamond and are dedicated to helping you find a piece that encapsulates your unique love story.

The Most Popular Diamond Shapes:

Diamonds come in a variety of shapes, each with its own distinct characteristics and appeal. The most popular diamond shapes include the classic round brilliant, the elegant princess cut, the vintage-inspired cushion cut, the sleek emerald cut, and the graceful pear shape. Explore these options to discover the shape that best reflects your personal style and preferences.

The Meanings of Diamond Color Codes:

Diamond color is graded on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Each color grade holds its own unique charm and can significantly impact a diamond's appearance and value. Understanding the meaning behind these color codes helps you make an informed choice based on your desired aesthetic and budget.

Differences in Diamond Clarity Rankings:

Diamond clarity refers to the presence or absence of internal or external flaws, known as inclusions and blemishes, respectively. Clarity is graded on a scale ranging from Flawless (FL) to Included (I). The differences in clarity rankings affect a diamond's brilliance and overall visual appeal. Exploring these rankings empowers you to choose a diamond that aligns with your desired clarity standards.

The Importance of Diamond Certificates:

Diamond certificates, also known as grading reports or diamond certifications, play a crucial role in ensuring transparency and authenticity. Reputable certificates provide comprehensive information about a diamond's characteristics, including the four C's. By offering certified diamonds, we provide you with the assurance and confidence to make an informed purchase.

How Diamond Carat Weight is Determined:

Diamond carat weight measures the size and weight of a diamond. Carat weight is determined by precise measurements and calculations. Popular carat sizes, such as 1/2 carat, 1 carat, and beyond, are often sought after for engagement rings and other diamond jewelry. Our knowledgeable team at San Jose Jewelers will guide you in selecting the ideal carat weight to suit your preferences and budget.
