FACETS Of the 4Cs, cut (and facet arrangement) is arguably the most important. A well-cut diamond maximizes the reflection of light, enabling the facets to act as tiny mirrors that bounce light back, creating a spectacular sparkle and shine! Facet arrangement varies by shape, but no matter which cut you choose, each facet has an important job to do. The most common diamond, the round brilliant, contains 58 different facets, with the crown (the top of the diamond) and the pavilion (the bottom of the diamond) having the most effect on the light show we witness from above.

ENGRAVING Making an engagement ring or wedding band your own goes beyond what’s visible from the outside. Especially meaningful details can be crafted on the inside as well. With today’s modern engraving technology, a special hand- written message or date can be added on the inside of his or her band that will add a special touch to a special occasion.

PAVÉ Who doesn’t want more sparkle and shine in their ring? Pavé — French for paving — gives you all that sparkle and shine with subtle details on the band, crown, or prongs. In pavé settings, smaller diamonds accentuate the larger diamond by creating a field of sparkle. In many of these rings, the gold between each stone is barely visible, further enhancing the look of the entire piece.
