The 5th C: Curation - Ensuring Value and Beauty in Diamonds
When it comes to diamonds, most people are familiar with the traditional 4Cs: Cut, Clarity, Carat weight, and Color. However, at Lindsey Scoggins Studio, we believe there is a 5th C that is just as vital, if not more so, in ensuring that our diamonds are not only stunning but also hold great value: Curation.
The Importance of Diamond Cut
The cut of a diamond plays a crucial role in its overall
beauty and value. It is the only characteristic that is influenced by human
hands. The cutting process enhances the diamond's character and preserves its
brilliance. Well-cut stones exhibit a higher level of luster and sparkle
compared to those with lower cut grades.
Measuring the Cut
The cut of a diamond is assessed based on three key aspects:
Polish, Symmetry, and Cut (specifically for round brilliant stones). At Lindsey
Scoggins Studio, we exclusively work with diamonds that have the highest cut
grades. This commitment guarantees the value and brilliance of every diamond we
offer.
Embracing Colorless Diamonds
Naturally, white diamonds contain traces of color, such as
yellow or brown hues. It is the absence of color that sets diamonds apart and
makes them exceptionally rare. The color grading of diamonds follows an
industry-standard scale from D to Z, with D, E, and F classified as colorless.
At our studio, we provide diamonds rated D, E, F, and occasionally H. We
carefully select diamonds that reflect light effectively, avoiding any presence
of fluorescence to ensure the utmost beauty of your diamond.
Conclusion
At Lindsey Scoggins Studio, we firmly believe that curation
is the key to offering diamonds of exceptional value and beauty. By
meticulously selecting diamonds with the highest cut grades and focusing on
colorless options rated D, E, F, and sometimes H, we guarantee the brilliance
and value of each diamond in our collection.
