THE 4 C's......
Like two fingerprints,
two Diamonds that look alike at
first may, in fact, be very different. Two Diamonds of equal size can have very unequal values.
To understand these differences is to understand the 4 C’s: Cut, Color,
Clarity, and Carat-weight.
At The Voyagers, our experienced staff will be happy to
educate you on the 4C’s and answer any questions you may have.
THE FIRST C
~ CUT....we
will show how proportions effect the brilliance of a Diamond.
The cut of a Diamond effects more than just its shape. Ideal Cut
Diamonds have strict guidelines for the way each facet is cut into the
stone in order to produce the most brilliance. 

THE
SECOND C ~ CLARITY....using
the microscope, we will explain the identifying
characteristics (fingerprints) of the Diamonds; also known as
inclusions. There are eleven clarity grades that are used to
judge Diamonds. All of the grades are judged under a microscope
at ten power.
We also stock certified G.I.A. diamonds.

Institute of America -- where the standards for the jewelry
industry are set.
THE THIRD C ~ COLOR....we will even show you the Diamond’s color with several comparison Diamonds. Diamonds are available in almost every color of the rainbow; and when that color is intense, the value of the Diamond grows. However, when a Diamond has a hint of color, such as brown or yellow, that detracts from value of the Diamond.
THE
FOURTH C ~ CARAT weight....The Voyagers carries a wide range
Diamond sizes to
help you best select the carat weight for your needs. A good
reminder for carat weight is bigger is not always better.
Let the Voyagers
be your guide to
selecting the quality
Diamond that best suits your needs; because like fingerprints, no two Diamonds
are the same.
Cut
By Gauge® Lucére® Diamond is a
mixed-cut stone combining the crown of an emerald cut with a pavilion similar to
that of a round. The table and depth percentages are standardized to
ensure consistency which results in very brilliant stones. It is a
perfect blend of the brilliance of a round diamond yet in a square shape;
a Cut By Gauge® Lucére® Diamond is uniquely proportioned for maximum
Brilliance and Beauty.

The limits to designing a piece of jewelry are
