There are four key terms that you have to remember; Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat. With everything, you get what you pay for so try and buy the best you can -  it will pay off in the end. A good smaller diamond will hold it’s value and it’s appeal far more than a poor larger stone. Size isn’t everything!

Diamonds have a rating of 10 on Moh’s scale and are the hardest natural gem stone. The hardness & durability of diamonds was even noted by the ancient Greeks- our modern word for diamond come from “adamas” meaning the unconquerable. This accolade has come to symbolise a lifelong commitment and everlasting love, hence a diamond being the classic engagement ring.

Though diamonds are the hardest gemstone don’t be fooled, diamonds can still chip and suffer damage and need to be looked after carefully as diamond set jewellery can also mark and damage other gem set jewellery. Take your diamonds off when you are busy with your hands. Diamonds have an affinity to grease and therefore doing the washing up in your diamond ring won’t do the sparkle any favours.

Gatwards of Hitchin have a wide range of diamond set jewellery at prices to suit most pockets. Pop in and see if we can find something special for the special person in your life. We also have a range of diamond set jewellery for gentlemen. Diamonds aren’t the preserve of ladies!
