About Diamonds
- While larger diamonds are highly prized, diamonds of equal size may vary widely in value and brilliance, depending on their qualities of clarity, cut, and color.
- Fancy diamonds -- in well defined colors that include red, pink, blue, green and canary yellow -- are highly prized and particularly rare.
- For centuries, men and women have found that the sparkle and brilliance of a quality diamond expresses their deepest emotions and symbolizes their enduring love. Yet with many beautiful diamonds to choose from -- and no two alike -- how do you pick the right diamond while spending wisely? The Diamond Quality Pyramid and the 4Cs, along with the guidance of a trusted jeweler, will lead you to the answer.
- A diamond's size is measured in carat weight, and each carat is equal to 100 points. A .75 carat diamond is the same as a 75-point diamond or a 3/4 carat stone.

About Gold
- Gold purity is measured by karats. Karat, sometimes represented as; "K" or "Kt." should not be confused with "Carat" which is the unit of measure for diamond and gemstone weight.
- Yellow, pink, green and white gold's - each exquisite in its own right. There is always fashion acceptance of all the colors and color combinations of gold. One of today's most popular trends features combining colors of gold - yellow, white and pink - in jewelry.
- Of all the world's precious metals, only Gold combines the four basic characteristics that make it a universally and eternally treasured possession.
- Gold's natural beauty is further enhanced by the soft and exquisite shades of color achieved by combining it with small amounts of other special metals.

About Gemstones
- The ideal color of aquamarine is a refreshing pastel sea blue. Stones with a clear blue color without green or gray are generally the most valuable.
- Emerald is one of the most highly-prized of all the gems. The name comes from the Greek "smaragdos" which means green stone. The most prized is the pure grass green.
- A cultured pearl is a pearl formed by an oyster, composed of concentric layers of a crystalline substance called nacre deposited around an irritant placed in the oyster's body by man. Natural pearls are formed by deposits of nacre around an irritant which accidentally lodges within the body of an oyster.
