HOW WE SELECT THE PERFECT DIAMOND FOR YOUR PIECE
Once our diamonds have gone through our rigorous controls and vetting process , our master diamantaires get to work identifying stones of exceptional quality for our next Perrywinkle ’ s piece .
THE VIEW FROM THE TOP
Our natural diamonds can be cut and polished into various shapes . Shape in this context refers to the view from the top of the diamond . Popular diamond shapes include Round Brilliant , Oval , Marquise , Pear , Heart Shaped , Emerald , Princess , and Radiant .
WHAT ’ S INSIDE
Each diamond is meticulously evaluated for its natural brightness , fire , and sparkle . Brightness refers to the level of light that radiates from within the diamond and reflects off its surface . Fire , otherwise known as dispersion , refers to a diamond ’ s unique ability to bend light and produce brief inner flashes of red , blues , and greens in a glorious kaleidoscope of colors . Sparkle or scintillation describes the twinkling effect given off when the diamond is adjusted in light — light that spreads evenly across the surface area of the diamond is considered more beautiful than a blotchy array .
COLOR AND CLARITY
There ’ s nothing quite like the iconic appearance of a clear or icy white diamond . But crystal clear doesn ’ t necessarily mean the highest luxury . Though rare , diamonds can form naturally in a variety of colors , and the more intense the color , the more valuable the diamond . A diamond ’ s clarity is like its fingerprints and refers to the natural birthmarks such as cloudiness or graining that form within the diamond during its crystallization process .
CUT AND CARAT : THE DIFFERENCE MAKER
Light can escape through the sides and bottom of a diamond which can rob it of some of its brightness . To unlock its full potential , our master craftspeople slice away as much of the diamond as needed to prevent light from escaping . Unleashing the true beauty from within a diamond also requires cutting away weight from the bottom of the raw stone . This process takes surgical precision and

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
Are diamonds truly indestructible ? Diamonds are the hardest natural material on Earth . But they do have a weak spot . Our experts analyze each diamond ’ s internal crystal structure to identify this weak spot or “ girdle .” Then , with a deft hand , they cut the diamond to achieve the desired brightness , shape , and optimum girdle thickness to prevent chipping or breaking .
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
After the very best diamonds have been selected by our master diamantaires , the craftspeople of our exclusive atelier in Montreal , Canada , use the diamonds to fashion pieces that catch the eye and capture the imagination .
