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.
- 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.
- The number, color, type, size and position of surface and internal birthmarks affect a diamond's value. Major inclusions can interfere with the path of light that travels through a diamond, diminishing its brilliance and sparkle and therefore its value.

About Gold
- 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.
- Today, when you buy gold jewelry, you are buying enduring beauty.
- The naturally intense color and distinctive luster of gold combine to give this precious metal its unique and lasting beauty.
- Gold lasts, and lasts. Since it does not rust, tarnish or corrode, gold virtually lasts forever. An example of this incredible durability is witnessed in the gold coins found in sunken galleons centuries-old - they're as bright and shiny as the day they were cast!

About Gemstones
- The majority of gemstones are crystallized minerals. (Important exceptions: pearl and coral are animal origin; jet and amber are vegetable.)
- There are several factors that determine the value (and price) of a gemstone: color, cut, clarity and carat weight.
- Peridot should be a lively lime green, without a brownish or olive cast.
- 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.
