They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend…
To have a diamond is to treasure a moment and make it an everlasting magical memory. Its strength and its regard throughout the world make it the most highly sought after mineral when in search of the perfect piece of jewellery. It represents wealth, clarity and abundance.
At Geneve Company, we love this stone and have an array of pieces with diamonds in different shapes. Each stone has very specific features that we should all know, and that is where the 4Cs of diamonds come into play.

- Carat
Carat weight, abbreviated as ct., measures a diamond’s size. The more it weighs, the larger it will be and the more valuable it will be.
- Clarity
Because diamonds are of natural origin, they have small imperfections called inclusions. The fewer the number of inclusions in the stone, the higher its quality.
- Cut
This characteristic reflects a diamond’s sparkle. It will depend on a jeweller’s expertise, since the cut will determine how well a diamond’s facets interact with light.
- Colour
Most diamonds come in shades ranging from white to yellow. A diamond with the least amount of colour is in fact the most valuable.
When these shades are more intense, the stone is referred to as a fancy diamond.

Types of diamond cuts

Traditionally square, but sometimes rectangular, princess-cut diamonds always have four corners.
