At LeGassick, our passion for diamonds is at the heart of everything we do. We meticulously hand-select each diamond, paying close attention to the 4Cs—Cut, Colour, Clarity, and Carat—to ensure that every piece of jewellery shines with unparalleled beauty and sparkle. Additionally, our commitment to ethical sourcing ensures that every LeGassick diamond is a symbol of both elegance and integrity. Let's delve into what makes a LeGassick diamond truly exceptional.
Cut: The Art of Diamond Brilliance
WHAT IS A DIAMOND CUT?
The cut of a diamond is the most crucial of the 4Cs when it comes to its beauty and sparkle. It refers to how the diamond's facets interact with light, determined by its polish, symmetry, and proportion.
WHY IS A DIAMOND CUT SO IMPORTANT?
The cut is the only one of the 4Cs influenced by human hands. Two diamonds may share the same clarity, colour, and carat weight, but the cut determines their ultimate brilliance. A well-cut diamond reflects and refracts light to create maximum brightness and sparkle. Conversely, a poorly cut diamond, regardless of its other attributes, will appear dull.
At LeGassick, we hand-select only the best-cut diamonds from around the world. These diamonds, with their true brilliance and sparkle, are chosen to become LeGassick diamonds. Our commitment to excellence is exemplified by our partnership with Hearts On Fire, one of the world's most prestigious luxury diamond brands. Hearts On Fire diamonds are renowned for their perfect cut, achieved through a blend of state-of-the-art technology and artisanal craftsmanship.
Colour: The Purity of Diamond Light
WHAT IS DIAMOND COLOUR?
Diamonds come in various natural colours, including pink, blue, yellow, brown, and green. When referring to white diamonds, we consider the diamond's lack of colour. The less body colour a white diamond has, the rarer and more valuable it is.
WHY IS COLOUR IMPORTANT?
Colour directly affects a diamond's appearance. Lower colour grades can make diamonds appear yellowish rather than the desired brilliant white. A LeGassick Diamond is always selected with a colourless or near-colourless grading, ensuring a dazzling white appearance that enhances its overall brilliance.
Clarity: The Purity of the Stone
WHAT IS DIAMOND CLARITY?
Clarity refers to a diamond's freedom from natural inclusions, also known as clarity characteristics. It measures the purity and rarity of the stone, graded by the visibility of these characteristics under 10-power magnification.
At LeGassick, we choose diamonds that are free from inclusions that could inhibit their brilliance or quality. Our diamonds are consistently selected for clarity ratings ranging from Flawless (absolutely no inclusions) to Slightly Included (minor characteristics visible only under 10X magnification and generally not visible to the naked eye). This meticulous selection process ensures that every LeGassick diamond sparkles with exceptional clarity.
Carat: The Weight of Beauty
WHAT IS A DIAMOND CARAT?
Diamonds are measured in carats and points, with 100 points equaling 1.00 carat. While carat weight significantly affects a diamond's price, it does not necessarily determine its size or sparkle. The cut of a diamond influences its perceived size and brilliance.
At LeGassick, we prioritise a diamond's beauty and brilliance over its carat weight. Our diamonds are chosen for their exceptional sparkle and outward beauty, ensuring that every piece of jewellery we create is a true masterpiece.
Ethically Sourced Diamonds: A Commitment to Integrity
LeGassick is deeply committed to ethical sourcing and only deals with diamonds that meet the highest ethical standards. We are proud participants in the Kimberley Process, an international certification scheme that ensures diamonds are conflict-free. This commitment guarantees that every LeGassick diamond is not only beautiful but also ethically sourced, reflecting our dedication to responsible practices and social responsibility.
