Carat is the unit of weight for a diamond. Diamonds can range in weight from a fraction of a carat to several carats. One carat equals 0.2 metric grams. A carat can be further divided into points. 1 carat equals 100 points. Therefore, a half carat equals 50 points and a 25 pointer is a quarter carat. When considering diamonds of equal quality, the larger stone will have more value.
Most rings can be resized but this is dependent on the ring style and setting of the gemstones. Generally, ladies’ rings are a size N and mens’ rings are a size R. If a ring needs to be resized, please visit us instore or contact us for a quote.
Cultured pearls are humanity’s work at duplicating what nature first started. A ‘seed’ or ‘nucleus’ (typically a round bead made of mother of pearl) is inserted into the oyster and the oyster is returned to the sea. The oyster will coat this ‘seed’ with nacre to create a cultured pearl. Freshwater pearls are also cultured. Multiple tissue seeds are inserted into a freshwater mussel. The mussel coats these seeds with nacre to produce cultured freshwater pearls.
