The 4C’s
When purchasing a diamond, you will undoubtedly hear about the “4Cs”. This is the process of evaluating a diamond based on four key factors: cut, colour, clarity and carat weight.

Two diamonds can look the same “on paper” however they can actually be very different when viewed in person.
Andrew Mazzone selects diamonds for our engagement rings according to a more complex set of criteria, applying a high level of expertise that cannot be translated into any gemmological report.
Diamonds are not manufactured on an assembly line. Diamonds are not interchangeable. They are unique and thus every stone selected for you to view has passed thorough examinations in order to ensure that it out-sparkles all others.
