DIAMOND

Unique in the world of gemstones, diamond is the hardest of all materials. Perhaps it is because of this durability that diamonds are treasured as symbols of devotion and purity.

And yet within the structure of diamonds we often find impurities, or “inclusion” that trap light, distracting our eye form the radiance we so value. Sometimes these tiny imperfections are removed by cutting them away. Often we employed methods that do not sacrifice precious diamond in the process. Today we have perfected a fascinating enhancement technique that focuses tiny beams of laser light at imperfections and vaporized them. The minute passageways created by the laser beam may be filled with clear resins or glass hard substances, rendering them nearly invisible to the naked eye. Only extreme heat or specifically formulated chemicals removes the filling from the laser passageways. This method is also utilized to fill fissures that reached the stone’s surface, thereby rendering them less visible to the naked eye.

Diamonds may also be colored in variety of hues. Extreme heat and/or irradiation permanently enhance certain innate color properties, allowing them to display their hues in more brilliant array. Whether irradiated, laser or cut from the most perfect raw state, your jeweler will inform you of the magical journey you diamond have followed, from deep within earth’s mantle to the fine finished gemstone you see before you.
