Passion8 Diamond Night

Matt — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 05:57:38 +0000

Craig Miller from Miller Diamonds visited Verity Jewellers all the way from Sydney on Monday night to introduce us to the new range of Passion8 Diamonds and to discuss an array of diamond related topics. Craig is very passionate about quality diamonds, starting on the bench many years ago cutting diamonds himself!

Excerpt from their website:

The manner in which a diamond is cut defines its value and dramatically affects its beauty, brightness and scintillation, that is, a diamonds cut hugely effects the way the diamond causes light to “dance”.

Cut is also the only value-determining factor of a diamond over which man has any control.

All Passion8 diamonds are precision perfect diamonds which have been cut to exact and mathematically proven proportions, to produce the brightest most beautiful and perfect diamonds obtainable.

Each round Passion8 diamond exhibits 8 perfect Hearts and 8 perfect Arrows and each square Passion8 diamond exhibits a minimum of triple Excellent for Dispersion, Scintillation and Brilliance, securing Passion8 diamonds as the worlds brightest diamonds.

Furthermore, we guarantee that Passion8 diamonds have been manufactured from the finest hand-selected natural rough diamond crystals purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict, or blood diamonds (i.e., Passion8 diamonds are NOT mined and sold to fund civil war, terrorism and other criminal activities). We guarantee all Passion8 diamonds are compliant with the Kimberly process and United Nations Resolutions.

Claw Setting

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 04:54:33 +0000

Claw settings are one of the most common settings used for engagement rings. There are usually four or more metal bars which secure the diamond in place which allow light to enter the diamond from all angles.

A claw setting can be tall, positioning the diamond well above the band or it can be short, meaning the diamond is positioned closer to the finger.

Care must be taken with claw settings as they are prone to snagging and over time the claws may loosen exposing the diamond. Ask your Showcase jeweller to make regular inspections.

Bezel Setting

A bezel setting is a frame that wraps around the diamond offering the diamond greater protection.

One of the disadvantages of a bezel setting is the lack of light that is permitted through which may result in the diamond looking smaller.

To overcome this problem a half bezel setting can be created which still offers the security and allows light to the diamond.

Channel Setting

Channel settings are quite common on engagement ring shoulders as well as wedding bands. A metal channel holds the diamonds securely together with the diamonds appearing in an elegant row.

Brilliant cut diamonds are most common in these types of settings as they offer great sparkle however baguettes can also be used to offer a nice contrast to the main diamond
