DIAMOND LAND

The word carat is of extreme importance in the world of jewellery, but when we’re talking about the world of diamond jewellery it has a double meaning. Both gold and diamonds are valued with carats/Karats, but the meaning is quite different.

When we’re talking about gold, Karat refers to the purity of the precious metal. A 24-Karat ring is made of nearly 100% gold, while 18-Karat gold is made of 18 parts gold and 6 parts another metal.

When you hear the word diamond, your first vision is probably that of a brilliant cut diamond. There are however many more diamond shapes to choose from. To name a few: the pear shaped diamond, emerald cut diamond and the marquise cut diamond. Today we’ll be taking a look at the latter, the marquise cut diamond.
