White and yellow gold are both timeless – and always a safe choice. Rose gold on the other hand is experiencing an increasing popularity, due to its warm, modern appearance. Platinum is slightly more expensive, however convinces through its clarity, rareness and outstanding persistence over time.

In case you want to delight someone else with the jewellery – have a look at which metal he / she seems to be wearing most of the time. This may be a helpful indicator. And if that doesn’t help – simply go for your gut feeling and select what you personally prefer. Most often, we find that you will make the right choice.

CARAT (ct) is a unit of measurement used to express the weight of diamonds. In addition to the cut of a diamond, its carat weight is a primary factor for determining its overall size. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams (or 0.007055 ounces).

CLARITY is a quality indicator for a diamond’s visual appearance, ranging from FL/IF (flawless/internally flawless) to P3 (obvious inclusions). Our selection of RENÉSIM First Choice Diamonds range from FL/FI to SI (small inclusions only visible by magnifying x 10). Diamonds with fewer inclusions will reflect light more efficiently and sparkle more vividly.

COLOUR is an important visual characteristic for evaluating diamonds. The standard rating scale ranges from D (colourless) to Z (noticeable colour). Our RENÉSIM First Choice Diamonds range from D to M. A diamond is generally considered more valuable the more colourless it appears.
