Diamond & Stone Guide

Choosing the right stone is one of the most important parts of creating fine jewellery. At Divara Jewellery, we guide you through the key details that influence beauty, brilliance, and value—including diamond shape, carat size, colour, clarity, and stone type.

Diamond shape has one of the biggest visual impacts on the final jewellery piece. Each shape creates a unique personality and style.

Round Brilliant
Classic, timeless, and renowned for maximum sparkle.

Oval
Elegant and elongated, often creating the appearance of a larger diamond.

Emerald
Sophisticated and clean, featuring a step-cut design that beautifully showcases clarity.

The 4Cs are the internationally recognised standards used to evaluate diamond quality.

Cut
Cut determines how effectively a diamond reflects light. A well-cut diamond delivers exceptional brilliance, fire, and sparkle.

Colour
Colour refers to how white or colourless a diamond appears. Near-colourless diamonds are a popular choice, offering an excellent balance between beauty and value.

Although carat measures weight, it does not always determine how large a diamond appears.

Shapes such as Oval, Pear, and Marquise often appear larger than a Round Brilliant diamond of the same carat weight due to their elongated proportions.

Understanding this difference helps you achieve the look you want while making the most of your chosen budget.

Lab-grown diamonds are genuine diamonds created using advanced technology. They possess the same beauty, brilliance, durability, and physical properties as mined diamonds.

At Divara Jewellery, lab-grown diamonds are a popular choice for clients seeking a larger or higher-quality stone while maintaining excellent value.

Moissanite is a separate gemstone and not a diamond. It is admired for its exceptional sparkle, impressive durability, and affordability.

It is an excellent option for customers looking for a bright, eye-catching gemstone at a more accessible price point.

Divara Jewellery specialises in lab-grown diamonds and moissanite. Natural diamonds are available upon request for selected bespoke and custom jewellery designs.

For lab-grown diamond jewellery above 1 CTW, Divara Jewellery provides IGI Certification where applicable.

Certification offers confidence in the authenticity, grading, and quality of your selected stone.
