Fire & Ice Diamonds at Cottage Hill Diamonds

Light Presentation

VISIBLY BRIGHTER

Diamonds cut to Fire & Ice proportions reflect light from every direction through the top of the stone. The result? A display of white light ("brilliance"), a spectrum of dispersed colors ("fire"), and sparkling flashes of light ("scintillation"). Each diamond's facets are carefully arranged to accomplish a supreme brilliance similar to a group of perfectly positioned mirrors. This brilliance is then balanced by fire and enhanced by scintillation to achieve every Fire & Ice Diamond's luminescence.

OUTSTANDINGLY WHITER

The secret to each Fire & Ice Diamond's immense brilliance is the white light reflected through the top of the diamond. This reflection of light allows a Fire & Ice Diamond to appear one-to-two color grades whiter than its actual GIA color classification.

FINALIZING A FIRE & ICE DIAMOND'S BEAUTY

CUT

Master diamantaires using cutting edge technology have created the Fire & Ice proprietary cut diamond. Put simply, these are the world's most brilliantly cut diamonds.

CARAT

Carat weight is perhaps the simplest element of a diamond to comprehend. The weight of one carat is 200 milligrams. 1.00 carat is also known as 100 points (0.75 ct. = 75 points, 1/2 ct. = 50 points). Because Fire & Ice Diamonds are of a superior cut, even a Fire and Ice Diamond of lesser weight retains a higher value than inferior cuts.

CLARITY

Being that diamonds are formed under immense pressure and heat, finding a diamond without internal or external characteristics is incredibly rare. A diamond's clarity grade and value depend on the scale, nature, location, and number of such inclusions.

COLOR

While many diamonds appear colorless, the majority have faint yellow or brown undertones. A diamond's rarity and value grow as these tones fade and become less apparent.
