It is essential to choose a diamond that is brilliant to the naked eye!
• A well-cut diamond reflects the maximum of light. His reflections can be seen from afar.
• To distinguish the color of a Diamond, you have to look at it closely; to the naked eye from a distance of six / eight inches.
• The diamond clarity is distinguishable to the naked eye from six to eight inches away.
• Always consider that the Carat is a unit of weight and does not indicate the size of the gem. The diamond you buy must have a weight that corresponds to the size you want.
The Cut is the priority feature for choosing a Diamond. The better the cut, the better its brilliance.
• Torrini 1369 offers only the best diamond cuts to maximize the brilliance of the gem mounted on the jewel. Our experts provide only Excellent, Very Good and Good Cuts.
• A poor cut, too little or too thick, nullifies the other characteristics, even if excellent.
The clarity of a diamond is an essential characteristic in determining the value of the gem. Diamonds with clarity between VVS and SI will have no inclusions visible to the naked eye that alter their brilliance. Any minor defects or inclusions can only be seen with a 10X magnification lens.
• Diamonds can have small internal or external characteristics that are entirely natural.
• If we have a limited budget, it is wise to choose diamonds with purity up to SI as the gem's brilliance will remain optimal.
• Obviously, the larger the Diamond, the more small imperfections you will be able to see. If you want a diamond above the carat, look for a minimum VS2 clarity.
When buying a diamond, consider an near-colorless gem. Colorless diamonds are scarce and have a very high price.
• Torrini 1369 recommends color shades between F and H for the excellent quality-price ratio. Much also depends on the type of shape-cut and how it appears to the naked eye.
• The color of the Diamond is influenced by the color of the precious metal on which it is mounted. It is advisable to consider this variant.
Always Consider that the Carat is a unit of weight and does not indicate the size of the gem. The diamond you buy must have a weight that corresponds to the size you want.
• It is necessary to consider that prices increase exponentially with the increase in carats' weight.
• A good starting point is to choose a diamond that is proportionate to the size of the finger where you want to wear it. Also, you have to pay attention to the setting on which the gem is to be mounted. Sometimes choosing a diamond with a lower caratage is the right choice.
The round cut diamond (Brilliant) is the most popular, but we will not exclude other shapes. The fancy cut diamonds can have a much lower price than the brilliant cut with the same characteristics.
• Among the various shapes we remember: the Princess cut, Emerald, Asscher, Pillow, Marquise, Radiant, Oval, Pear, and Heart.
• Round cut diamonds (Brilliant) are the most expensive because they are the only ones that oblige the cutter to follow rigid proportions defined by Marcel Tolkowsky, acquired as a world model by the significant international gemological laboratories.
International diamond lists increase the price to half a carat and total carat.
• Choosing a Diamond with a weight below the breakpoint will help you save on the price without affecting the gem's beauty in any way. For example, the visual difference of a 0.90 carat diamond compared to another total 1 carat is almost invisible.
• Torrini 1369, with its Antwerp brokers, is able to offer Diamonds below the breakpoint imposed by international price-lists
Always check the Gemological Certificate of a Diamond.
• Buying a Diamond is always a crucial moment. The certificate of any gem ensures its characteristics and its authenticity.
• The Gemological Certificate represents the identity of the diamond. Each gem is unique because it comes from the nature that formed it millions of years ago.
• The certification of a Diamond must be independent of any commercial influence.
• We trust the certificates issued by the GIA, HRD, IGI ANTWERP as absolutely the best for quality and scientific structures.
• Torrini 1369 always counter-certifies its certified diamonds.
