CUT
CUTTING-EDGE CRAFTSMANSHIP
UNLOCK BRILLIANCE
The right cut releases a diamond’s inner sparkle. A perfect cut is determined by the natural shape of the raw diamond. Our expert diamond cutters transform raw material into wearable works of art. Once cut the stone unlocks its brilliance, effortlessly catching and reflecting light in a display of flawless craftsmanship. To ensure every gift shines, each stone must meet our outstanding requirements to guarantee the most optimal light reflection.
Clarity
CLARITY MADE CLEAR
EXPERIENCE EXCEPTIONAL SPARKLE
Diamonds can achieve exceptional levels of sparkle like no other gemstone. Clarity takes into consideration the rarity and purity of a piece, in an assessment of any imperfections within the stone. Also known as inclusions, these small imperfections dictate how a diamond reflects light, impacting its ability to shine. At Bucherer Fine Jewellery we accept no stone below SI1 to ensure every grade delivers the ultimate clarity.
Colour
THE COLOUR SCALE
EXPLORE SHADES OF LUXURY
A diamond’s colour is determined by the natural hue of a stone. Though we often think of diamonds as colourless, most have a yellowish tint. The less colour a stone has, the rarer and more desirable a diamond becomes. Experts measure this against a D-Z colour scale that depicts a gradient from the purest white (D) to its lesser valued coloured counterparts (Z). Find the perfect shade for any occasion with our expert guidance.
Carat
THE WEIGHT OF LUXURY
DISCOVER TRUE QUALITY
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond, one carat is equivalent to 0.2 grams. Carat alone does not determine the value of a stone, as this is dependent on the other aspects of quality criteria. Clarity, colour and cut must all be taken into consideration before a diamond’s worth can be determined.
