A hinged piece makes an easy gift. The recipient can put it on alone, the first time, without any assistance.
Stone Story
Developed by the Gemological Institute of America, the 4Cs address four distinct physical realities: cut governs light performance, color measures the degree of colorlessness, clarity documents internal and surface features, and carat weight is a precise mass measurement. Each criterion is independently assessable, and the combination produces a profile specific enough to distinguish one diamond from another of identical weight.
A Notable Quality
Gold has been worn against skin for millennia without incident. Plated over sterling silver, it continues to perform as it always has, a surface well-tolerated by most skin types, with no base metal making contact.
