The Wallace Bishop Diamond Buying Guide
The Five Cs: The Insiders Guide
So how do you distinguish one Diamond from another?
What makes one gem more valuable than its apparently 'identical' looking twin?
Every Diamond is unique - no two jewels can ever be the same - it's just the way nature intended and it's what makes these precious creations so amazing.
Read our comprehensive explanation of the 5cs below.
Cut
Most Diamond purists agree - it's 'the cut' that has the greatest impact on a Diamond's beauty and allure. The more precise and skilful the cut, the more appealing the gem is to the eye.
Colour
Colour is a very personal thing, and there are many details to consider when deciding on the right colour Diamond for you.
Clarity
The Clarity of a Diamond is most commonly known as 'nature's fingerprint' or 'birthmark'.
Carat
It's a popular misconception, but the carat of a Diamond is actually a measure of its weight, not its size.
